Product Information

Full details

The Adidas Terrex Skychaser AX5 GORE-TEX is a high-performance hiking shoe engineered for adult male hikers who require agility and protection on technical terrain. Its primary benefit is the combination of a breathable, waterproof GORE-TEX membrane with a specialized Continental rubber outsole that ensures steady footing on unpredictable surfaces. While the shoe offers excellent support and lightweight cushioning, users should note that the 12 mm midsole drop is tailored more toward structured hiking support rather than a minimalist trail-running feel.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?

They provide excellent water protection for autumn and spring, but they are not insulated and are not intended for deep snow or extreme sub-zero temperatures.

Do I need to spray these with a water repellent?

The GORE-TEX membrane is integrated into the lining. While you can apply a DWR spray to the upper to help water bead off the fabric, the waterproof protection comes from the internal membrane.

How should the shoe fit?

It is designed as a regular fit. You should have about a half-inch of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for foot swelling during long hikes.

Can I remove the insoles?

Yes, the OrthoLite insoles are removable, which is useful if you need to air out the shoes or use custom orthotics.

Are these shoes heavy?

At 15.2 oz for a UK size 8.5, they are categorized as lightweight hiking shoes, focusing on agility rather than heavy-duty boot weight.

Troubleshooting

Moisture buildup inside the shoe

While GORE-TEX is breathable, ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool socks, as cotton socks trap sweat and impede the membrane's breathability.

Reduced traction

Clean the outsole with a brush to remove embedded mud and debris that can fill in the tread pattern, which is necessary for the Continental rubber to maintain its grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent traction on wet and rocky terrain
  • Effective waterproof protection from GORE-TEX
  • Lightweight construction prevents foot fatigue
  • Durable ripstop upper withstands trail wear
  • Stable heel support for technical descents

Cons

  • Not suitable for extremely cold mountaineering conditions
  • Requires a break-in period for the stiff upper
  • Limited to standard width profiles
  • 12 mm drop may feel high for minimalists

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before your first long hike, ensure you wear the shoes on shorter walks to allow the material to adapt to your foot shape.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: After muddy hikes, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and clean the exterior with lukewarm water and a mild detergent if necessary.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally at room temperature. Avoid placing them directly near heat sources like radiators, as this can degrade the GORE-TEX membrane or warp the midsole.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
  4. Maintenance: Regularly inspect the laces and the OrthoLite insole, replacing them if signs of degradation occur.
