FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane that provides a waterproof barrier, though it is recommended to avoid submersion above the ankle collar.
Do I need to break these in?
While they are comfortable out of the box, it is recommended to wear them on a few short walks before tackling a long-distance mountain hike to allow the materials to adapt to your foot.
How do I clean the shoes?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Never machine wash or tumble dry.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
They are suitable for light winter conditions due to the traction and waterproofing, but they are not heavily insulated against extreme freezing temperatures.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the Ortholite sockliners are removable if you wish to replace them with custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Waterproofing seems less effective after many uses
Dirt buildup can clog the pores of the GORE-TEX membrane. Clean the upper thoroughly with water and allow to air dry to restore breathability and waterproof performance.
Foot discomfort during long hikes
Ensure you are using the correct sock thickness and that the laces are adjusted to allow for natural foot swelling that occurs during extended exercise.
Slipping on dry, loose surfaces
While Continental rubber is top-tier, ensure your tread is not fully packed with mud. Tap the outsoles together to clear debris for maximum traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your adidas Terrex Skychaser AX5, follow these guidelines. Setup is straightforward: ensure the lace closure is tightened evenly across the bridge of your foot to ensure the midfoot lockdown provided by the upper architecture is effective. These shoes are compatible with standard hiking socks; for best results, pair them with moisture-wicking wool or synthetic blends. To care for your footwear, remove dried mud with a soft brush after each outing. If the shoes become soaked or heavily soiled, hand wash them with lukewarm water and a mild soap. Always air-dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as extreme heat can degrade the adhesive and the GORE-TEX membrane efficiency.
