Product Information
Full details
The adidas Terrex Trailmaker 2 Gore-TEX Hiking Shoes are designed for adult males seeking versatile and waterproof footwear for various outdoor activities, from light trail walking to more demanding treks. Their key benefit is reliable performance and all-day comfort in all weather conditions, thanks to the GORE-TEX membrane and grippy Continental Rubber outsole. A potential consideration is their specific weight, noted at 393.5 g (size UK 8.5), which might be a factor for ultralight hikers. These shoes feature a regular fit, lace closure, a textile and synthetic upper with abrasion-resistant overlays, a waterproof GORE-TEX membrane, an EVA midsole for cushioning, and a gusseted tongue for enhanced comfort. They also incorporate a Continental Rubber outsole for superior grip and are made with at least 20% recycled content.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The shoes feature a regular fit. While they offer comfort, individuals with significantly wide feet may want to consider trying them on for fit or looking for models specifically designed for wider widths.
How do I clean the GORE-TEX membrane?
The GORE-TEX membrane is integrated into the shoe lining. Clean the exterior of the shoe as recommended in the Care section. Avoid using solvents or harsh chemicals directly on the membrane, as this can degrade its performance.
What is the midsole drop?
The midsole drop is 10 mm, with a heel height of 29 mm and a forefoot height of 19 mm.
Can these shoes be used for trail running?
While they offer good grip and cushioning, they are primarily designed for hiking and trekking. For dedicated trail running, shoes with more flexibility and specific running features might be more suitable.
What does 'contains at least 20% recycled content' mean?
This indicates that a significant portion of the shoe's materials are derived from recycled sources, contributing to a reduced environmental impact.
How much do the shoes weigh?
The shoes weigh approximately 393.5 grams for a size UK 8.5.
Do these shoes come in other colors?
Yes, the Terrex Trailmaker 2 GORE-TEX model is available in various colorways, including Blue and Bronze, in addition to Grey.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX
Ensure laces are properly tied to prevent water ingress from the top. Check if any debris is lodged in the shoe. If the issue persists after cleaning, the membrane may be compromised; contact customer support.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The Continental Rubber outsole provides excellent grip, but extreme conditions may still pose a risk. Ensure the outsole is clean, as mud or debris can reduce traction. Adjust your walking gait for the terrain.
Discomfort during long walks
Ensure you have the correct size and that laces are not too tight or too loose. Consider wearing appropriate hiking socks. Break in the shoes on shorter walks before attempting long distances.
Abrasion-resistant overlays showing wear
The overlays are designed to protect, but heavy abrasion can still cause marks. Clean the areas gently. Minor scuffs are cosmetic and do not typically affect performance unless they compromise the structural integrity of the shoe.

Care:
- Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt. For tougher grime, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with cool water. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, remove excess water gently. Stuff them with newspaper or a dry cloth and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and waterproof membrane.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX membrane is designed for durability. Regular cleaning helps maintain its performance. Avoid applying any waterproofing treatments unless specifically recommended for GORE-TEX materials, and always follow product instructions carefully.
