FAQs

Are these shoes fully waterproof?

Yes, the Terrex Skychaser AX5 features a Gore-Tex membrane that provides a waterproof barrier against rain and wet trail conditions.

Can I use these for trail running?

While designed primarily for hiking, their lightweight construction makes them suitable for fast-paced hiking and technical trail walking.

How do I clean the exterior?

Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and wipe down with a damp cloth. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

Does the lacing system allow for a secure fit?

Yes, the quick lacing system is designed to provide a secure, anatomical fit that holds your foot firmly in place on uneven ground.

Are they suitable for winter hiking?

They provide excellent protection in wet and autumn/spring conditions; however, they are not insulated for extreme sub-zero temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Laces feel loose after short usage

Ensure the quick lacing toggle is fully snapped into the locking mechanism and verify that the laces are not tangled within the guide eyelets.

Moisture buildup inside the shoe

Ensure you are using moisture-wicking hiking socks. If the exterior is clean, allow the shoes to air dry in a well-ventilated area for 24 hours.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing capabilities with integrated Gore-Tex
  • High-traction outsole suitable for technical terrain
  • Quick lacing system offers secure, customizable fit
  • Lightweight design helps reduce overall fatigue

Cons

  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort
  • Limited availability in non-standard widths
  • Not intended for extreme high-altitude mountaineering

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best fit, ensure you select your correct UK size, keeping in mind that thicker hiking socks may require a slight adjustment in preference. To maintain the Gore-Tex membrane and material integrity, clean the shoes after muddy outings using a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh detergents or heavy chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the waterproof coating. Always air-dry your shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the rubber and fabrics from becoming brittle or warping.
