FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
This specific model utilizes a ripstop upper designed for breathability. While it provides some protection, it is not listed as waterproof unless specifically marked with GORE-TEX technology.
How do I determine my size?
These shoes follow standard UK sizing for adults. We recommend measuring your foot at the end of the day when it is at its largest and comparing it to the adidas sizing chart.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the Ortholite sockliners are removable and can be swapped for custom orthotics if preferred.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they are designed for hiking, their lightweight build makes them suitable for fast-packing or brisk trail walking, though they are specifically tuned for hiking stability.
What is the best way to clean the laces?
Remove the laces and soak them in warm, soapy water, then air dry them completely before re-threading.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels too tight or restricted
Try skipping the eyelets closest to the tightest area when lacing to increase volume, or use thinner socks.
Excessive dirt accumulation in the outsole
Tap the soles together or use a soft-bristled brush to clear debris after the mud has dried.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Terrex Skychaser Ax5, start by adjusting the laces to distribute tension evenly across the midfoot. For care, remove the Ortholite sockliner after wet hikes to allow it to air dry separately from the shoe. To clean, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid using a washing machine, as high-heat drying or agitation can compromise the synthetic overlays and foam density. Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
