FAQs
Do I really need to buy one size bigger?
The product description recommends buying one size bigger. This is a common suggestion for hiking shoes to allow for foot swelling during long treks and to accommodate thicker socks, ensuring a comfortable fit. It's advisable to try them on or consider this recommendation.
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
The RAIN.RDY technology offers waterproofing, which is beneficial in wet winter conditions. However, they are not insulated for extreme cold. For very cold or snowy hikes, consider adding thermal socks or opting for a more specialized winter hiking boot.
How do I clean the mud off these shoes?
After removing loose dirt with a dry brush, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Rinse the cloth and wipe again. Allow them to air dry completely away from heat sources.
Can I wear these for casual everyday use?
Yes, the comfort and water-resistant features make them suitable for casual wear, especially in unpredictable weather. However, their primary design is for hiking, so they may offer more support and durability than typical casual shoes.
What does 'RAIN.RDY' mean?
RAIN.RDY is adidas's technology designed to keep you dry in wet conditions. It provides a waterproof barrier that prevents water from entering the shoe while allowing some breathability.
What kind of terrain are these shoes best for?
These shoes are best suited for day hikes and light trekking on moderate trails, including dirt paths, gravel, and rocky terrain, especially when conditions are wet or damp.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite RAIN.RDY
Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress from the top. Check for any damage to the shoe material or seams that might compromise waterproofing. Prolonged submersion may exceed the RAIN.RDY capabilities.
Traction feels insufficient on slippery surfaces
Clean the Traxion outsole of any mud or debris, as this can reduce grip. Ensure you are on terrain suitable for the shoe's intended use; for extremely slick or icy conditions, specialized footwear may be required.
Discomfort or rubbing after a hike
Verify you have purchased the correct size, considering the recommendation to buy one size larger. Ensure socks are appropriate for hiking and fit well. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter walks before embarking on long hikes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The adidas Eastrail 2.0 Mid RAIN.RDY Hiking Shoes are designed for hiking and general outdoor activities. They are compatible with standard hiking socks.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth. For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials and waterproofing.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: While RAIN.RDY is durable, avoid prolonged submersion in water. Periodically, you may consider using a specialized waterproofing spray suitable for hiking footwear to maintain optimal water resistance.
