adidas Terrex Anylander Mid RAIN.RDY Hiking Shoes - Olive Strata/Night Cargo/Core Black - 6 UK

The RAIN.RDY technology is designed to keep your feet dry in rainy conditions and puddles by repelling water. They are highly water-resistant, but like most hiking shoes, they are not intended for full submersion in deep water.

With their Traxion outsole and EVA midsole, these shoes offer excellent grip and cushioning for a variety of hiking surfaces, including dirt trails, gravel paths, and mixed natural terrain.

Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap and water solution, gently scrub the textile upper, and rinse lightly. Always allow them to air dry away from direct heat to preserve the materials.

This signifies adidas's commitment to sustainability. It means at least 20% of the materials used in the shoe's construction are either recycled (reducing waste) or sourced from renewable resources (less reliance on virgin materials).

The shoes weigh approximately `330 g` for a size UK 5.5. This indicates a lightweight design for a mid-cut hiking shoe, contributing to less fatigue during long excursions.

The midsole drop is `9 mm` (heel: 26 mm / forefoot: 17 mm). This measurement indicates the difference in height between the heel and forefoot, influencing the foot's angle and stride while hiking.

Yes, the product is described as `True to Size`. You should generally order your regular shoe size for the best fit.

Ensure the shoe's collar is snug and water is not entering from the top (e.g., splashing over the ankle in deep puddles or heavy rain). RAIN.RDY is highly water-resistant for rain and splashes, but not designed for full submersion. Also, check if your socks are wicking moisture effectively.

Verify the Traxion outsole is clean and free from embedded mud or debris, which can reduce traction. While the outsole offers excellent grip, extreme conditions like ice or heavily slick mud may exceed its intended performance. Consider replacing if the outsole tread is significantly worn.

Ensure you have selected your correct size; the shoes are described as `True to Size`. Experiment with different lacing techniques to secure the gusseted tongue and customize fit. Always wear appropriate hiking socks that prevent friction and wick moisture. Allow for a short break-in period on shorter walks before attempting longer treks.

For heavy mud, allow it to dry completely, then gently tap the shoes together to dislodge large clumps. Use a stiff brush for the outsole and a soft brush with mild soap and water for the textile upper. Rinse lightly with water and air dry thoroughly.
