FAQs
Should I size up for these shoes?
Yes, it is highly recommended to buy at least one size larger than your standard size for the best fit.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The standard Terrex AX4 models feature an abrasion-resistant mesh; they do not have a built-in waterproof membrane like Gore-Tex models.
Are these suitable for everyday walking?
Yes, their comfortable EVA midsole makes them suitable for daily wear, not just for technical hiking trails.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
How do I best clean the mesh upper?
Gently scrub the mesh with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid harsh chemicals or heavy machine cycles.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during long hikes
Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks and consider loosening the laces along the midfoot to allow for natural foot swelling.
Difficulty keeping the shoes clean
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud immediately after your hike; for deeper stains, use a cloth dampened with cool water and mild soap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Terrex AX4 typically runs small, it is essential to purchase one size larger than your standard shoe size to ensure adequate toe room. Proper care involves brushing off loose dirt after every hike and cleaning the mesh with a soft brush and mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can compromise the adhesive and material integrity. Air-dry the shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, which can cause the materials to fade or become brittle over time.
