FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

While the Terrex Skychaser Ax5 is built with durable synthetic and textile materials, standard models are not listed as waterproof; specific Gore-Tex variants are available if you require full waterproofing.

How do I determine my size?

These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to size up by at least a half-size from your standard casual shoe size to allow for sock thickness and foot swelling during long hikes.

Can I replace the insole?

Yes, the textile sockliner is designed to be removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles if needed.

Are these suitable for trail running?

While they provide excellent traction, they are primarily designed as hiking shoes and may feel heavier and more rigid than dedicated trail running footwear.

What is the best way to store them?

Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the rubber and synthetic components from degrading over time.

Troubleshooting

Feelings of discomfort or hot spots during the first few wears

The stiff upper material needs time to contour to your foot. Wear them for shorter walks initially and ensure your hiking socks are properly moisture-wicking.

Laces coming loose on the trail

Use a double knot or a secure heel-lock lacing technique to maximize tension and maintain a firm fit throughout your hike.

Accumulation of debris inside the shoe

Consider using gaiters if you are frequently hiking on loose gravel or sandy trails to prevent grit from entering the collar.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent grip on challenging terrain
  • High-durability materials for rugged use
  • Secure lacing system for stability
  • Lightweight construction reduces fatigue

Cons

  • Requires a break-in period
  • Not primarily designed for casual street wear
  • Fit may run snug for those with very wide feet

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best experience, start by adjusting the laces while wearing your preferred hiking socks to ensure the correct volume and support. For care, avoid machine washing these shoes as it can compromise the structural integrity of the synthetic overlays. Instead, remove loose dirt after each hike with a soft-bristled brush. If the shoes become muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the materials to warp or stiffen.
