FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday school wear?
While durable and comfortable, these are primarily designed as hiking shoes. They can certainly be worn for general outdoor activities and on active days, but their specialized tread and waterproof features are best utilized for their intended purpose.
How do I choose the right size for my child?
Use the included Adifit length-measuring insole. Have your child stand on it with their heel against the back. The markings on the insole will indicate if there is enough room for growth. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit, with no excessive rubbing.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these hiking shoes. Machine washing can damage the waterproof membrane, adhesives, and structural integrity of the shoe. Hand clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, and air dry.
What is the difference between RAIN.RDY and GORE-TEX?
RAIN.RDY is adidas's own waterproof technology, designed to keep feet dry and comfortable in wet conditions. While effective, GORE-TEX is a third-party membrane known for its high level of waterproofing and breathability, often found in premium outdoor gear.
How much do these shoes weigh?
The adidas Terrex Trailmaker 2 RAIN.RDY hiking shoes weigh approximately 180 grams per shoe, making them lightweight for children's footwear.
What is the midsole drop?
The midsole drop is 8.5 mm, with a heel height of 20.5 mm and a forefoot height of 12 mm. This provides a balanced feel for running and hiking.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, the Terrex Trailmaker 2 model is available in various colorways, including combinations of Grey/Black and Grey/Purple, as well as Red/Purple and Red/Brown options.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite RAIN.RDY technology
Ensure the laces are properly tightened to prevent water from entering through the top opening. Check for any damage to the shoe's upper or seams. If the shoes have been heavily saturated, allow them to dry completely before use.
Shoes feel uncomfortable or cause blisters
Verify the size using the Adifit length-measuring insole. Ensure the shoes are laced correctly, not too tight or too loose. Break in the shoes with short walks before embarking on long hikes.
Traction is poor on slippery surfaces
The Traxion outsole is designed for grip, but extreme conditions like thick mud or ice may reduce effectiveness. Clean the outsole treads of any debris that might be hindering grip. Consider alternative footwear for highly specialized conditions.
Materials appear worn or damaged after use
The abrasion-resistant overlays are designed to protect the shoe. Minor scuffs are normal for hiking and active play. Ensure cleaning and care instructions are followed to maintain the integrity of the materials.

Compatibility: Designed for unisex kids, these shoes are suitable for various outdoor activities, including hiking, trail walking, and general outdoor play. They are compatible with typical outdoor clothing and gear.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your adidas Terrex Trailmaker 2 RAIN.RDY shoes:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For tougher stains or after muddy use, wipe the shoes with a damp cloth or sponge. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes 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 and affect waterproofing.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically, you may consider using a waterproofing spray suitable for technical footwear to maintain the RAIN.RDY membrane's effectiveness, especially after extensive use or cleaning. Ensure the product is compatible with synthetic and textile materials.
