Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
The GORE-TEX membrane offers waterproofness and breathability, making them suitable for wet conditions. For extreme cold or snow, consider adding thermal socks or looking for winter-specific insulated footwear.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the UK sizing guide provided. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the sizing chart. Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear for hiking.
Can I machine wash these hiking shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and the waterproof membrane. Hand clean with a brush and damp cloth as described in the care instructions.
What is the midsole drop?
The midsole drop is 10 mm (heel: 29 mm / forefoot: 19 mm), which is a standard drop that provides a balance of cushioning and ground feel for many hikers.
How much recycled content is in these shoes?
These shoes contain at least 20% recycled content in their construction, contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing process.
What is the warranty period for these shoes?
Please refer to the retailer's or adidas' official website for specific warranty information, as it can vary by region and purchase date.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX
Ensure laces are properly tied to seal the tongue gusset and prevent water ingress. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX membrane or wear in the boot. Socks can also absorb moisture; consider moisture-wicking hiking socks.
Traction feels insufficient on certain surfaces
Clean the outsole tread of any mud or debris, as this can significantly impact grip. The Continental Rubber is designed for a wide range of conditions, but extreme mud may still present challenges. Ensure you are distributing weight appropriately.
Discomfort or rubbing after initial wear
The shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks initially and gradually increase distance. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for your foot shape. Consider using specialized hiking socks to reduce friction points.
Shoes feel heavier than expected
The weight is comparable for a durable, waterproof hiking shoe. If weight is a primary concern for very long, fast-paced hikes, consider lighter trail running shoes, but note they may sacrifice some durability and protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes come ready to wear. Ensure you select the correct UK size for a proper fit. Lace them up snugly but not overly tight, adjusting to your comfort level before starting your activity.
Compatibility: Suitable for use on a wide range of outdoor terrains including trails, light mountain paths, and general outdoor walking. They are compatible with standard hiking socks.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. If the shoes are wet or muddy, wipe them clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and the waterproof membrane. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and retain shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
