FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The standard Terrex Skychaser Ax5 features a durable synthetic and textile upper for breathability and protection, but it does not feature an integrated waterproof membrane unless otherwise specified in the model name.

What is the sizing like for this model?

This model follows standard UK sizing. If you typically wear thicker hiking socks, consider if you prefer a snug performance fit or a slightly roomier feel when selecting your size.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the textile sockliner is removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles if needed for additional arch support.

Are these suitable for trail running?

While primarily designed for hiking, their lightweight construction and grip make them suitable for fast-packing or light trail running, though they are more substantial than dedicated road-running shoes.

How do I maintain the color of the grey/white upper?

Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners. Spot clean with a gentle detergent and avoid scrubbing too aggressively, which can damage the surface fibers.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure points after short hikes

Adjust the lace tension. The secure closure allows for localized tightening or loosening to relieve pressure on the top of the foot.

Slipping on very slick or wet rocks

Ensure the outsole tread is free of dried mud, as compacted debris reduces the effectiveness of the grip pattern.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent traction on various terrains
  • Durable synthetic materials for long-lasting wear
  • Secure fit ensures stability on uneven ground
  • Lightweight feel compared to traditional hiking boots

Cons

  • Requires a break-in period for optimal comfort
  • Limited to a regular fit, which may not suit extra-wide feet
  • Grey/White colorway may show trail dirt more prominently

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Terrex Skychaser Ax5 shoes last, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Break-in: Wear your shoes on shorter walks before taking them on long-distance mountain expeditions to allow the materials to conform to your foot.
  2. Cleaning: After hikes, remove loose mud using a soft-bristled brush. Wipe down the synthetic upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed.
  3. Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators or open fires, as this can degrade the synthetic materials and adhesives.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and material degradation.
