FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy backpacking?
The Terrex Trailmaker Hiking Shoes are designed for lightweight performance and moderate terrains. For heavy backpacking with significant loads, footwear with more robust ankle support and a stiffer sole might be more appropriate.
How do I clean the GORE-TEX membrane?
The GORE-TEX membrane is integrated into the shoe lining. Clean the exterior of the shoe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the shoe's materials and the membrane's integrity.
What is the midsole drop?
The midsole drop is 10 mm, with a heel height of 29 mm and a forefoot height of 19 mm. This provides a balanced feel suitable for extended wear.
Can I wear these shoes in winter?
The GORE-TEX membrane provides waterproofing and some insulation. They are suitable for cold, wet conditions on trails but may not offer sufficient warmth for deep snow or extreme winter conditions without additional thermal socks.
How long does the Continental™ Rubber outsole last?
The durability of the Continental™ Rubber outsole is generally high due to its quality. However, lifespan depends on the frequency of use, terrain tackled, and maintenance. Regular cleaning and avoiding excessive wear on abrasive surfaces will help extend its life.
Do these shoes require a break-in period?
While designed for immediate comfort, like most hiking shoes, a short break-in period of a few easy walks can help the shoe mold to your foot for optimal comfort and to identify any potential fit issues.
What does 'contains at least 20% recycled content' mean?
This indicates that a significant portion of the shoe's materials, contributing to its construction, are derived from recycled sources, reducing the environmental impact.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet inside
Ensure laces are properly tied to seal the tongue area. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX membrane or excessive wear. If the shoes are old, the waterproofing may have diminished.
Lack of grip on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove embedded mud or debris, which can impede grip. Ensure the terrain is within the intended use parameters of the shoe; extreme conditions may require more aggressive tread patterns.
Discomfort or pressure points
Loosen or retie the laces, ensuring even pressure distribution. The gusseted tongue might need adjustment. Consider wearing different socks or if the issue persists after break-in, the fit may not be suitable.
Shoes feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the lacing system. For a tighter fit, focus on cinching the laces more firmly. For a looser feel, ease the tension. Ensure you have the correct UK size; refer to the size chart if unsure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes come ready to wear. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. Adjust the laces to achieve a snug but comfortable fit, ensuring the gusseted tongue sits correctly.
Compatibility: Designed for hiking and outdoor activities on easy to moderate terrains. They are compatible with standard hiking socks. While waterproof, they are not designed for prolonged underwater use.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a brush. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior. For stubborn stains, a mild soap can be used. Allow shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX membrane requires no special treatment for its basic function, but keeping the exterior clean helps maintain its performance. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as they can degrade the materials and compromise the waterproofing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
