The adidas Terrex Trailmaker 2 Hiking Shoes are designed for adult male hikers seeking a reliable and comfortable shoe for various trails.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
The GORE-TEX membrane provides waterproofing, and the Continental Rubber outsole offers good grip. However, they are not insulated, so for very cold conditions, consider adding thermal socks or looking for winter-specific footwear.
What is the main advantage of the Continental Rubber outsole?
The Continental Rubber outsole is known for its exceptional grip, comparable to high-performance tires, providing superior traction and durability on a wide range of surfaces, including wet and slippery conditions.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Your toes should not touch the front of the shoe when standing. There should be enough room to wiggle your toes. Ensure the heel doesn't slip excessively when walking. It's best to try them on with the type of socks you'll be hiking in.
Can I machine wash these hiking shoes?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these shoes as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and the GORE-TEX membrane. Hand wash them with mild soap and water.
What does a 10mm midsole drop mean?
A 10mm midsole drop means there is a 10mm difference in height between the heel and the forefoot of the shoe. This provides a balanced feel that is comfortable for many types of hiking.
Do these shoes contain recycled materials?
Yes, the shoes contain at least 20% recycled content, contributing to sustainability efforts.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX
Ensure laces are tightly secured and the gusseted tongue is properly positioned to prevent water ingress. Check for any punctures or damage to the GORE-TEX membrane.
Traction feels insufficient on certain surfaces
Clean the Continental Rubber outsole to remove mud or debris that may be hindering grip. Ensure the shoes are appropriately broken in for optimal performance.
Discomfort or blisters during hikes
Adjust the lacing for a more customized fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Consider if the shoe size or width is correct for your foot. Break in the shoes on shorter walks before attempting long distances.
Shoes smell after use
Remove insoles and air dry shoes thoroughly after each use. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda to absorb odors. Washable insoles can be cleaned separately.
