FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
Yes, their waterproof technology and high-traction outsole make them capable of handling light snow and wet winter conditions.
Do I need to spray them with a water repellent?
The shoes come with integrated waterproof technology. While optional, a light DWR (Durable Water Repellent) refresh spray can be applied periodically to the exterior if water stops beading.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.
Are these true to size?
The Terrex Skychaser AX5 is designed with an ergonomic fit. It is generally recommended to stick to your standard size, though if you prefer thicker wool hiking socks, some users prefer a half-size up.
What is the best way to clean the outsoles?
Use a stiff-bristled brush to remove dried mud and debris from the lug patterns after every hike to maintain optimal grip.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of stiffness in the sole
This is normal for technical hiking footwear. Increase use on shorter, flatter ground to gradually soften the midsole and upper material.
Water penetrating the shoe during heavy rain
Ensure the laces are tightened properly to prevent water from entering through the collar. Check the upper for visible damage or debris that may affect the waterproof membrane.
Discomfort during long hikes
Verify that your socks are moisture-wicking and not too thick, as they may impact the ergonomic fit of the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Terrex Skychaser AX5 shoes last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear them on short, flat walks before tackling long, technical hikes to allow the ergonomic structure to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt after each hike using a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water and mild soap; avoid harsh detergents that may damage the waterproof membrane.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can compromise the integrity of the adhesive and foam.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
