FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?

While they are waterproof, they are not insulated. They work well for moderate temperatures but may require thicker socks for colder conditions.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

It is not recommended. Hand cleaning with water and a mild detergent is the safest way to maintain the GORE-TEX and material integrity.

How do I determine if I need a wide size?

The Skychaser Ax5 comes in a standard fit; if you typically experience pinching at the widest part of your foot in standard footwear, this model may feel tight.

What kind of terrain are these designed for?

They are designed for technical trail hiking, including rocky terrain, forest paths, and muddy trails.

How long does the GORE-TEX last?

With proper care and cleaning, the membrane will remain functional throughout the normal lifespan of the shoe's tread.

Troubleshooting

Water leaking into the shoe

Check the upper for tears in the ripstop material or ensure that mud buildup is not compromising the breathability/waterproof membrane.

Slipping inside the shoe during descents

Try a 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to secure the midfoot and prevent forward movement of the foot.

Outsole losing traction

Clean the lugs of the Continental rubber outsole with a stiff brush to remove compacted mud or debris that interferes with surface contact.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent grip on wet and muddy surfaces thanks to Continental rubber
  • Effective waterproof protection from the GORE-TEX lining
  • Lightweight construction reduces energy expenditure on long hikes
  • Responsive cushioning provides comfort for rocky terrain

Cons

  • Standard fit may be too narrow for some users
  • GORE-TEX membrane can limit airflow in extremely hot temperatures
  • Requires a break-in period for optimal comfort

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Terrex Skychaser Ax5 shoes, keep the laces secured with a proper tensioning technique to prevent heel slippage. These shoes are compatible with most standard hiking socks, though merino wool blends are recommended to enhance moisture management. For care, remove loose dirt after every hike using a soft brush. If the shoes become soaked, remove the insoles and stuff the interior with newspaper to draw out moisture slowly. Avoid drying them near high heat sources, such as radiators, as this can degrade the waterproof membrane and the foam midsole material.
