FAQs

Are these shoes truly waterproof?

Yes, the adidas Terrex Anylander Mid features RAIN.RDY technology, which is designed to keep your feet dry in rainy and wet conditions. This means the shoes are constructed with waterproof materials and sealed seams to prevent water entry.

What type of socks should I wear with these hiking shoes?

For optimal comfort and moisture management, we recommend wearing moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool hiking socks. Avoid cotton socks, as they retain moisture and can lead to blisters.

How should I clean mud or dirt off my shoes?

Allow mud to dry, then brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn grime, use a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse with clean water and let them air dry completely away from direct heat.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, these shoes are specifically designed for hiking and walking on trails. Their mid-cut design and robust construction provide stability and protection suitable for hiking, but they are not optimized for the demands of trail running.

Do I need to 'break in' these shoes before a long hike?

While often comfortable immediately, it's always recommended to wear new hiking shoes on a few shorter walks or around town before embarking on a long or challenging hike. This helps the shoes conform to your feet and prevents potential discomfort.

What does 'EVA midsole' mean?

EVA stands for Ethylene-vinyl acetate. An EVA midsole is a soft, flexible, and lightweight material commonly used in footwear for cushioning. It provides shock absorption and comfort, reducing impact on your feet and joints during activity.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite RAIN.RDY technology

Ensure pants or gaiters cover the top of the shoe to prevent water from entering over the collar. Check for any physical damage to the upper that might compromise the waterproof membrane. Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to the outer fabric if water is soaking in.

Discomfort or blisters during hikes

Verify you are wearing appropriate hiking socks (moisture-wicking, non-cotton). Ensure laces are tied snugly but not too tightly. Your shoes may still be in the break-in period; try shorter hikes. Consider trying different lacing techniques to relieve pressure points.

Reduced grip on slippery surfaces

While designed for grip, no shoe is foolproof on all slippery surfaces (e.g., wet roots, slick rocks, ice). Check the outsole for excessive wear. Always tread carefully and test footing on challenging terrain. If frequently encountering icy conditions, consider ice traction devices.

Shoes feel too stiff or heavy

This is common with mid-cut hiking shoes that prioritize support and protection. Continue with the break-in period. If persistent, ensure the fit is correct; an ill-fitting shoe can exacerbate stiffness. These shoes are designed for robust performance over lightweight agility.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent water resistance keeps feet dry in wet conditions
  • Enhanced ankle support for stability on varied and uneven trails
  • Durable construction with reinforced toe cap offers protection
  • Comfortable and lightweight cushioning from EVA midsole for long hikes
  • Secure and adjustable lace closure for a personalized fit

Cons

  • May offer less breathability in very hot and humid conditions due to waterproofing
  • Mid-cut design might feel slightly restrictive for users accustomed to low-cut shoes
  • Potentially heavier than ultra-light trail running shoes
  • Specific color option (Red) might not suit all personal style preferences

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Lacing: Before your first hike, ensure you lace your shoes properly. Start by loosening all laces, slide your foot in, then tighten from the toe upwards. Ensure a snug fit without being too tight, allowing for natural foot movement. A double knot will prevent laces from coming undone on the trail.
  2. Break-In Period: While generally comfortable out of the box, it's advisable to wear your new hiking shoes on a few shorter walks before tackling a long hike. This allows the shoes to mold to your feet and prevents blisters.

Compatibility

  • Terrain: These shoes are best suited for varied terrains, including dirt paths, rocky trails, forest floors, and light to moderate ascents. They perform well in damp conditions thanks to RAIN.RDY.
  • Weather: Ideal for mild to cool temperatures and wet weather. While they offer some insulation, they are not designed for extreme cold or deep snow. Their waterproof nature makes them less breathable in very hot, dry conditions.
  • Activities: Perfect for day hiking, multi-day backpacking (with lighter loads), and general outdoor exploration. Not recommended for trail running or mountaineering.

Care

  1. Cleaning: After each use, especially if muddy, brush off loose dirt with a soft brush or old toothbrush. For stubborn dirt, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not machine wash or use harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Remove insoles and allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials and adhesives. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  3. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mold and mildew.
  4. Waterproofing Maintenance: Over time, the outer textile's water repellency may diminish. You can restore it using a suitable waterproofing spray designed for textile outdoor footwear. Follow the product's instructions.
