FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
Yes, the Gore-Tex membrane provides good protection against cold, wet conditions, though you should pair them with thermal socks.
How do I determine the right size?
The Terrex Skychaser Ax5 follows standard UK sizing; we recommend choosing your typical size, leaving roughly a thumb's width of space at the toes.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the Gore-Tex membrane. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is strongly recommended.
Is the outsole suitable for icy surfaces?
While the rubber is high-traction, these are not specialized ice boots and should not be used on glare ice without additional traction aids.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
They feature a standard supportive textile sockliner, but you can swap this for custom orthotic insoles if you require specific arch support.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels slightly cramped after long hours.
Adjust the lace tension and ensure your socks are not too thick; remove the insole temporarily to see if it provides extra volume.
Waterproofing appears less effective over time.
Check for dried mud clogging the surface pores; clean thoroughly and consider using a recommended DWR spray to refresh the water-repellent finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Terrex Skychaser shoes maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear your new shoes on short walks before tackling long-distance hikes to allow the materials to adapt to your foot.
- Lacing: Use the full lace-up system to secure your midfoot, ensuring the tongue is centered to prevent pressure points.
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush after each hike. If necessary, use a damp cloth and mild soap to clean the upper. Avoid machine washing.
- Drying: Air dry only. Avoid placing near direct heat sources like heaters or radiators, which can damage the synthetic fibers and Gore-Tex membrane.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
