FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
The RAIN.RDY technology provides waterproofing and warmth, making them suitable for damp and cool conditions. For deep snow or extreme cold, consider adding thermal insoles or opting for a winter-specific boot.
How much recycled content is in the upper?
The upper contains a minimum of 50% recycled content, contributing to adidas's commitment to reducing plastic waste.
Can I machine wash these hiking shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoes. Hand wash with mild soap and a damp cloth as per the care instructions.
What is the primary benefit of the Traxion outsole?
The Traxion outsole is designed to provide maximum grip on a variety of surfaces, enhancing stability and preventing slips during hikes.
Is the ankle support sufficient for rough terrain?
These are mid-cut shoes, offering a balance of ankle support and flexibility. For extensive hiking on very rugged or unstable terrain where maximum ankle support is critical, a higher-cut hiking boot might be preferable.
How do I ensure the waterproofing lasts?
Follow the care instructions for cleaning and drying. Periodically applying a suitable waterproofing spray can help maintain the water-repellent properties of the shoe materials over time.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite RAIN.RDY
Ensure the laces are tied snugly and the tongue is properly seated to prevent water ingress. Check for any damage to the shoe that might compromise the waterproof membrane. Prolonged submersion in deep water may eventually lead to saturation.
Traction is poor on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsole of mud, dirt, or debris as these can impede grip. Ensure the tread pattern is not excessively worn down. For extremely slick surfaces, proceed with caution.
Discomfort or blisters after wearing
Verify you have the correct size. Consider wearing thicker hiking socks. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods before longer hikes. Ensure the gusseted tongue is lying flat and not causing pressure points.
Smell inside the shoes
Remove insoles and dry them separately. Air out the shoes in a well-ventilated area. Use odor-absorbing insoles or a shoe deodorizer spray. Regular cleaning will also help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have appropriate hiking socks for optimal comfort and performance.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: While RAIN.RDY is durable, consider using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for outdoor footwear periodically to maintain water resistance, especially after significant wear.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
