Product Information

Full details

The adidas Terrex Skychaser AX5 GORE-TEX is a high-performance hiking shoe designed for active hikers and trail enthusiasts who need a balance of speed, protection, and grip on technical terrain. These shoes feature a waterproof GORE-TEX membrane to keep feet dry in damp conditions and a responsive LIGHTMOTION midsole for all-day comfort; however, users should note that the shoe is optimized for agility rather than heavy-duty backpacking with a large load.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?

Yes, the GORE-TEX lining makes them water-resistant, and the Continental outsole provides excellent grip on cold, hard surfaces, though they are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures.

Can I use my own orthotic insoles?

Yes, the OrthoLite sockliner is removable, allowing you to swap it for custom orthotics.

How do I ensure I have the right size?

The Skychaser AX5 follows standard UK sizing. We recommend trying them on in the afternoon when your feet are at their largest.

Are these good for flat feet?

The midsole provides moderate support; however, if you have specific arch requirements, consider replacing the insole with a model that offers more structural arch support.

Can these shoes be machine washed?

It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the adhesives and the waterproof membrane; hand-washing is the safest way to clean them.

Troubleshooting

Outer fabric looks dull or dirty

Use a soft brush to remove dust and wipe with a damp cloth; avoid harsh detergents.

Foot slipping inside the shoe

Try the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to secure the ankle more firmly.

Waterproofing seems less effective

Ensure the exterior is clean; dirt buildup can mask the water-repellent properties of the outer fabric.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent traction on wet and slippery surfaces thanks to Continental rubber.
  • Highly effective waterproof protection without sacrificing breathability.
  • Lightweight construction reduces fatigue on long or fast-paced hikes.
  • Provides a stable and cushioned platform for technical trails.

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy-duty load-carrying or expedition-style backpacking.
  • The regular fit may feel restrictive for those with exceptionally wide feet.
  • The 12mm drop is traditional; some hikers may prefer a more minimal feel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These shoes arrive ready to wear, though it is recommended to break them in on shorter hikes to allow the ripstop upper to conform to your foot shape.

Compatibility: The standard lace closure system allows for customizable tension, ideal for ensuring stability when tackling steep descents.

Care Instructions:

  1. Remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush after every hike.
  2. If the shoes become muddy, hand-wash them with mild soap and lukewarm water.
  3. Never submerge the shoes in hot water or use aggressive cleaning agents, as this can degrade the GORE-TEX membrane.
  4. Always air dry at room temperature; avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can warp the EVA midsole or damage adhesives.
