FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The adidas Terrex Eastrail 3 are not explicitly waterproof. They are designed with textile and synthetic materials that offer some resistance to light moisture, but they are not submersible and do not feature a waterproof membrane like Gore-Tex.
What type of terrain are these shoes best for?
These shoes are best suited for light to moderate hiking trails, gravel paths, forest walks, and general outdoor use. The Traxion outsole provides good grip on a variety of surfaces.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the sizing guide provided by adidas, typically based on UK, EU, or US shoe sizes. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the chart. Trying them on with hiking socks is advisable.
Can I use these for trail running?
While they offer good grip, these shoes are designed for hiking and walking. For dedicated trail running, specialized trail running shoes with more flexibility and cushioning profiles are generally recommended.
What is the weight of the shoes?
The shoes weigh approximately 337.6 grams, which is relatively light for a hiking shoe, contributing to comfort during extended wear.
How should I clean the synthetic and textile upper?
Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For persistent marks, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely away from heat.
What is the midsole drop?
The midsole drop is 9 mm. This is a moderate drop that provides a balance between ground feel and cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the Traxion outsole provides good grip, exceptionally slick surfaces may still pose a risk. Ensure you maintain a steady pace and adjust your footing accordingly. For very wet conditions, consider trail-specific footwear with more aggressive tread patterns.
Discomfort after extended wear
Check the lacing to ensure a secure but not overly tight fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. If discomfort persists, the shoes may not be suited for very long distances or the specific demands of your hike.
Inner sole feeling loose
The textile sockliner is designed to be removable for cleaning. Ensure it is placed back correctly inside the shoe. If it is damaged or excessively worn, it may need replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These hiking shoes come ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. We recommend trying them on with the type of socks you typically use for hiking.
Compatibility: The Terrex Eastrail 3 is designed for general outdoor terrain. They are compatible with standard hiking socks and suitable for use with most types of outdoor trousers or shorts. They are not designed for specialized activities like rock climbing or extended snow travel.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt and mud with a dry brush. For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing in damp conditions, which can degrade materials over time.
