Product Information
Full details
The adidas Terrex Skychaser AX5 is designed for adult hikers who need a reliable, high-performance shoe for technical trails and diverse terrain. Featuring a responsive LIGHTMOTION EVA midsole and a rugged Continental rubber outsole, these shoes provide excellent traction and underfoot comfort for long days on the move. While they offer superior stability and protection, potential buyers should note that they are engineered for a precise regular fit, which may require a break-in period for those with wider foot profiles.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the ripstop upper is durable and protective, please check specific model labeling if you require full GORE-TEX waterproofing.
What is the weight of these shoes?
The weight is approximately 440 grams based on a UK size 8.5.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the OrthoLite sockliner is removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.
Are these suitable for trail running?
While primarily a hiking shoe, their lightweight construction and responsive cushioning make them capable of handling fast-paced hiking and light trail running.
How do I determine my correct size?
These shoes follow standard UK sizing; we recommend choosing your usual athletic shoe size.
What kind of terrain are these best for?
They are ideal for mixed mountain terrain, rocky trails, and loose gravel paths thanks to the Continental outsole grip.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot
Try adjusting the lacing technique by using a 'parallel' lacing method to reduce pressure points across the top of the foot.
Slippage inside the shoe during descents
Ensure the heel is pushed fully back and use a 'runner's loop' lacing technique to lock the heel in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Terrex Skychaser shoes, proper care is essential. After hiking in muddy or wet conditions, remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. For cleaning, use a soft brush to remove dried mud and a damp cloth with mild soap for the exterior ripstop material. Always ensure your laces are securely tied to maintain the structural integrity of the upper overlays. Avoid machine washing, as this can compromise the adhesives and cushioning properties of the midsole.
