FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the mesh upper is abrasion-resistant and durable, this specific model is not explicitly marked as waterproof. For wet conditions, consider an AX4 Gore-Tex variant.
How should I size these shoes?
The Terrex AX4 tends to run small. It is recommended to size up if you are between sizes or prefer extra room for thicker hiking socks.
Can I use these for trail running?
Yes, their lightweight construction and excellent traction make them suitable for light trail running and fast-paced hiking.
What is the best way to clean the mesh?
Use a soft brush and mild soap with lukewarm water to remove dirt. Allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area.
Do these provide arch support?
Yes, the EVA midsole provides structural support designed to keep the foot comfortable over long distances.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight across the midfoot
Adjust the lace tension and ensure the tongue is centered. If discomfort persists, consider a thinner sock or sizing up.
Outsole losing traction
Check the tread for embedded rocks or caked-on mud; scrub the outsole with a soft brush and warm water.
Interior debris accumulating during hikes
Ensure the gusseted tongue is pulled tight against the instep before lacing to seal the entry point.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these shoes may run small, it is highly recommended to try them on with the specific hiking socks you intend to use to ensure proper volume inside the shoe. To maintain the integrity of the abrasion-resistant mesh, avoid using harsh industrial cleaners or washing machines, which can degrade the synthetic overlays. After muddy hikes, remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. Periodically check the outsole lugs to clear out stuck stones or hardened mud to maintain peak traction performance.
