FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

Yes, they feature an integrated GORE-TEX membrane, making them fully waterproof while remaining breathable.

How heavy are the Skychaser AX5 shoes?

A standard size UK 8.5 weighs approximately 440 grams.

Can I use these for winter hiking?

Yes, the GORE-TEX protection and grippy rubber outsole make them suitable for winter hiking, provided the conditions are not extremely icy or requiring specialized crampons.

Do I need to break these in?

Because of the durable ripstop and protective construction, it is recommended to wear them on a few short walks before taking them on a long, arduous hike.

What is the midsole drop?

The midsole drop is 10 mm, with a heel height of 32 mm and a forefoot height of 22 mm.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the OrthoLite sockliners are removable if you prefer to replace them with custom orthotics.

Troubleshooting

Water entering the shoe despite GORE-TEX

Check if water is entering over the collar of the shoe or through the laces; ensure socks are tucked in properly.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

Inspect the rubber outsole for caked-on mud or debris that may be obstructing the tread patterns.

Foot discomfort or pressure points

Re-adjust the lace tension to ensure a uniform fit across the bridge of the foot, or consider an aftermarket insole if needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent weatherproofing via integrated GORE-TEX technology
  • Lightweight build prevents foot fatigue on long-distance hikes
  • Superior traction on varied trail surfaces
  • High-durability materials handle rough, rocky terrain
  • Consistent comfort provided by OrthoLite internals

Cons

  • Less breathability compared to non-waterproof mesh alternatives
  • Stiffer midsole feel might require a break-in period
  • Design is specialized for hiking and may lack versatility for casual lifestyle wear

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best performance, ensure you pair these with moisture-wicking hiking socks to complement the GORE-TEX lining. After each hike, remove excess mud with a soft-bristle brush and lukewarm water. Do not submerge the shoes in harsh detergents, as this can degrade the waterproof membrane. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause the materials to warp or crack. If the interior becomes wet, stuffing them with newspaper can help draw out moisture without damaging the lining.
