FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
Yes, they feature a built-in GORE-TEX membrane designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.
Can I use these for trail running?
While designed primarily for hiking, their lightweight build and responsive cushioning make them suitable for fast-paced hiking and light trail use.
How should I clean them if they get muddy?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and wash with lukewarm water. Avoid using a washing machine or dryer.
Do they provide good arch support?
The LIGHTMOTION midsole provides a structured, responsive platform that offers support suitable for most hikers on uneven terrain.
Are they suitable for wide feet?
The Terrex Skychaser AX5 follows a regular fit design; if you have very wide feet, you may want to try them on with your preferred hiking socks to ensure the width is comfortable.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or hot spots during the first few wears
Wear the shoes around the house or on short walks to break in the materials before taking them on a long, strenuous hike.
Moisture buildup inside the shoe
Ensure you are using moisture-wicking synthetic or wool socks; cotton socks will hold sweat and negate the breathability of the GORE-TEX membrane.
Reduced traction in muddy conditions
Clean debris trapped between the lugs on the outsole with a stiff brush to restore the full gripping power of the rubber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Terrex Skychaser AX5 shoes, use a proper hiking sock to manage moisture and reduce friction. The shoes fit true to size, but consider the thickness of your socks when determining fit. For maintenance, remove loose dirt after every hike using a soft brush. If the shoes become muddy, hand-wash them with lukewarm water and a mild detergent, avoiding harsh chemicals that could degrade the GORE-TEX membrane. Always air-dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the midsole adhesives and the synthetic upper material.
