FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
They are designed for general hiking and trail use. While they are waterproof, they do not feature specific thermal insulation for extreme cold.
Can I use these for trail running?
Yes, their lightweight construction and responsive cushioning make them highly capable for trail running on technical surfaces.
How do I maintain the waterproof membrane?
Keep the interior and exterior clean of grit and dirt, and never wash them in a machine, as agitation can damage the membrane.
Do these shoes come in different widths?
The Skychaser AX5 typically comes in a standard performance width. If you have wide feet, consider sizing up by a half size.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the provided insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe on descents
Use a 'heel lock' lacing technique by utilizing the final eyelet to create a loop, ensuring the heel stays planted firmly.
Water penetrating the shoe during heavy rain
Check that the shoe is not saturated and check the waterproof membrane for debris; ensure that your socks are not absorbing water at the cuff.
Reduced traction in muddy conditions
Thoroughly clean the outsole treads using a brush to remove packed-in dirt, which restores the grip profile.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, pair these shoes with moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool socks to maximize the effectiveness of the breathable membrane.
- Fitting: Ensure you have a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling on long hikes.
- Lacing: Use the eyelets effectively to secure the midfoot; ensure the tongue is centered to prevent pressure points.
- Cleaning: After muddy treks, allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the adhesive and waterproof membrane. Brush off dried debris with a soft-bristled brush to maintain the integrity of the outsole tread.
