FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy rain?
Yes, the GORE-TEX membrane provides excellent waterproof protection against rain and wet conditions, keeping your feet dry.
Can I wear these shoes for trail running?
While they offer good comfort and support, the Terrex Trailmaker 2 are primarily designed for hiking and general trail use. They may not offer the specific responsiveness or cushioning optimized for intense trail running.
How do I clean the GORE-TEX membrane?
The GORE-TEX membrane is integrated into the shoe's construction. Regular cleaning of the shoe with a damp cloth and mild soap, followed by air drying, is sufficient to maintain its performance. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What is the expected lifespan of these shoes?
With proper care and use on appropriate terrains, the shoes are built for durability. The lifespan depends on usage frequency, terrain, and maintenance, but the abrasion-resistant features contribute to longevity.
Are these shoes good for wide feet?
The shoes feature a regular fit. While some users find them accommodating, individuals with significantly wide feet may want to try them on or consider socks that can help adjust the fit.
What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?
For optimal comfort and moisture management, it is recommended to wear moisture-wicking hiking socks made from materials like wool or synthetic blends. Avoid cotton socks, which can retain moisture.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX
Ensure laces are tightened for a snug fit, preventing water ingress. Check for any visible damage to the shoe or membrane. If the issue persists, the GORE-TEX membrane might be compromised or require professional assessment.
Discomfort or rubbing
Verify that the shoe size is correct and that laces are adjusted properly without being too tight or too loose. Wear appropriate hiking socks. Break in the shoes on shorter walks before undertaking long hikes.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces
The outsole is designed for varied terrain, but extreme conditions like wet ice or polished surfaces may reduce grip. Ensure the outsole is clean, as mud or debris can affect traction. For exceptionally slippery conditions, consider alternative footwear or traction devices.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials and affect the GORE-TEX membrane. You can stuff them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain shape while drying.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: While the GORE-TEX membrane is durable, its performance can be maintained by occasional cleaning. For enhanced water repellency on the outer fabric, consider using a specialized re-waterproofing spray designed for outdoor footwear.
