Classic kid’s trail running shoe for grip on soft/muddy ground. Perfect for trail, fell & cross country racing
The junior version of the popular X-Talon 212, this shoe is flexible, ultra lightweight, and has the precision fit. X-Talon flies over all terrains but really comes into its own when the ground is soft and talon-like grip is required. Could be used as an alternative to cross-country spikes.
Product Description
If you’re looking for a kid’s trail running shoe, look no further. The X-TALON 212 CLASSIC is the perfect choice for budding trail, fell and cross country stars of the future.
A lightweight, responsive shoe, with exceptional grip on soft ground, the X-TALON 212 is the choice of junior and senior athletes the world over.
The 8mm STICKYGRIP rubber lugs claw into the mud to give your child the traction to move quickly.
This rubber grip is at home on soft ground, but also holds its own on wet rock, hard trail and even road.
Stripped back for performance, the X-TALONs benefit from a narrow, “precision” fit. This locked-in, responsive field gives your child full control and the ability to react and respond to the ground at speed.
The protective, tough upper of the shoe protects against rough vegetation and sharp rocks. It also makes the shoes more durable and long-lasting.
For an out-an-out trail running shoe for fast training and racing, it has to be the X-TALON 212 CLASSIC. The go-to for kids taking part in junior trail, fell and cross country events.

STICKYGRIP Outsole
Get a firm grip on soft, wet ground and harder terrain. 8mm STICKYGRIP rubber studs claw through soft mud, while also clinging onto rocky or harder trails. This industry-leading grip delivers exceptional traction, allowing you to run faster across wet or dry ground.
-
Injected EVA Midsole
Feel the ground as you run. A thin, injected EVA midsole provides a lightly cushioned underfoot feel for greater comfort – even on rough, steep terrain. At the same time, the thin midsole also allows the shoe to flex, allowing for a responsive ride.
-
Super-Tough Upper
Run over rough ground or dense vegetation in confidence. The super-tough upper protects you from rocks, tree roots, heather or other hazards. The upper resists wear for longer, making it more durable and long-lasting.
-
Gaiter Hooks
Stay dry and protected from debris by attaching a gaiter to your shoes. On-the-shoe gaiter hooks offer a more secure way to attach the water resistant ALL TERRAIN GAITER for extra protection.

Product Care
Running Footwear
To maximise the life of your running shoes, make sure you dry them fully between runs. When dirty or muddy, clean your shoes to maintain the flexibility of the upper and its resistance to wear.
Washing:
For best results hand wash your shoes as close to the end of your run as possible. To wash your shoes:
- Remove the insoles and loosen or remove the laces.
- Brush off dried/caked mud using a soft brush.
- Rinse your shoes under cold running water while brushing off any remaining mud/debris (an old toothbrush is perfect for this).
Drying:
Place your shoes in a warm room, an airing cupboard or outside (but not in direct sunlight) to dry. Do not dry your shoes in a tumble drier or next to radiators, fireplaces or hot summer sunlight.
You can speed up the drying process by removing the shoe’s insole and shoelaces, and by stuffing them with newspaper.
Make sure your shoes are completely dry before wearing again.
RE-WATERPROOFING:
As with all water-repellent treatments, over time they begin to lose their effectiveness. To maintain your shoe’s waterproof finish, we recommend periodically re-waterproofing them using a product such as Grangers® Footwear Repel Plus.
