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 trails to rugged terrain. Their key benefit is reliable performance and all-day comfort in all weather conditions.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?

The GORE-TEX membrane provides waterproofing and some insulation, making them suitable for damp or mildly cold conditions. For deep snow or extreme cold, consider adding thermal socks or looking for winter-specific footwear.

How do I clean mud off the Continental Rubber outsole?

Use a stiff brush to remove loose mud. For stubborn dirt, a damp cloth or sponge with mild soap and water can be effective. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry.

What is the main advantage of the EVA midsole?

The EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) midsole provides lightweight cushioning and shock absorption, contributing to overall comfort during long walks and hikes.

Can I wear these shoes for trail running?

While they offer good grip and support, these shoes are primarily designed for hiking. They may be suitable for some trail running due to their lightweight nature and secure fit, but dedicated trail running shoes offer specialized features for that activity.

What does 'abrasion-resistant overlays' mean for durability?

These are reinforced sections on the upper material designed to withstand rubbing and wear, particularly in high-contact areas, thereby increasing the lifespan of the shoes.

How much do these shoes weigh?

The shoes weigh approximately 393.5 grams for a size UK 8.5, making them relatively lightweight for a hiking shoe.

What is the benefit of a gusseted tongue?

A gusseted tongue is attached to the sides of the shoe, which helps to prevent water, dirt, and debris from entering the shoe, while also improving the overall fit and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping into shoes

Ensure laces are tied securely and the gusseted tongue is properly positioned. Check for any visible damage to the GORE-TEX membrane or seams. Allow shoes to dry completely and re-evaluate.

Reduced grip on slippery surfaces

Clean the Continental Rubber outsole to remove mud or debris that may be hindering traction. Check the outsole for excessive wear.

Discomfort or pressure points

Adjust the lacing system for a more customized fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. If discomfort persists, the fit may not be suitable for your foot shape.

Material stiffness after drying

Avoid drying shoes near heat sources. If materials feel stiff, a specialized footwear conditioner for textile and synthetic materials can be applied after cleaning.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent waterproofing with GORE-TEX membrane.
  • Superior grip in various conditions thanks to Continental Rubber.
  • Comfortable cushioning from the EVA midsole for all-day wear.
  • Durable construction with abrasion-resistant overlays.

Cons

  • May not be suitable for extreme mountaineering or highly technical terrain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. Lace them up to your preferred tightness using the secure lace closure.

Compatibility:

The Terrex Trailmaker 2 GORE-TEX shoes are designed for compatibility with standard hiking socks. They are suitable for use on a wide variety of surfaces, from dry dirt paths to wet and rocky terrain.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources such as radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and affect the GORE-TEX membrane.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their condition.
