adidas Terrex Anylander Hiking Shoes - Green/Black - UK 12

These shoes are constructed with a textile upper and are not fully waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture but are best suited for dry to moderately wet conditions. For complete waterproofing, consider a RAIN.RDY or GORE-TEX model.

The midsole drop is 10 mm, with a stack height of 27 mm at the heel and 17 mm at the forefoot. This provides a balanced feel with good cushioning.

The shoes weigh approximately 390 grams for a size UK 8.5, making them relatively lightweight for hiking footwear.

While they offer good grip and cushioning, they are primarily designed for hiking. For dedicated trail running, shoes with more flexibility and a different tread pattern might be more suitable.

This indicates that at least 20% of the shoe's materials are sourced from recycled waste or renewable resources, contributing to a more sustainable product.

Refer to the adidas sizing chart available on the product page or retailer website. It's recommended to measure your foot and compare it to the provided guide. Trying them on with hiking socks is also advisable.

Ensure laces are adjusted properly, not too tight. Try wearing thicker hiking socks for a snugger fit. If discomfort persists, the size may not be suitable; consider a half-size larger or consult sizing charts.

Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove embedded dirt or mud, which can compromise traction. Ensure the shoes are appropriate for the surface type; the Traxion outsole is designed for a wide range of conditions but may have limitations on extremely slick, wet rock.

Normal wear and tear will occur with consistent use. If significant degradation of the sole's tread or midsole cushioning occurs prematurely, contact customer support.
