FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
This specific variant uses a ripstop upper designed for breathability and durability; check for 'Gore-Tex' labeling if you require full waterproofing.
What is the primary use for the LIGHTMOTION midsole?
The midsole is designed for responsive cushioning, helping to absorb shock and provide energy return during hiking or fast-paced trail walking.
Can I remove the Ortholite sockliner?
Yes, the sockliner is removable if you need to replace it with custom orthotics or if it requires separate cleaning.
How do I ensure the correct size?
These follow standard UK sizing. Ensure you leave roughly a half-inch of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling on long hikes.
Can these be used for daily city wear?
While designed for trails, the styling and comfort make them suitable for casual, everyday use on paved surfaces as well.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming loose during activity
Use a double-knot or a locking lacing technique, as the laces are designed for durability and might require extra tension to stay secure.
Visible debris buildup in the tread
Use a stiff brush or a specialized shoe cleaning tool to clear out rocks or mud from the outsole lugs to maintain optimal grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Terrex Skychaser Ax5 shoes, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for short periods on flat ground for 2-3 days before attempting a strenuous hike.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt using a soft-bristled brush. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water and a mild detergent; avoid harsh chemicals that can degrade the synthetic overlays.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally. Never place them in a clothes dryer or near a direct heat source like a radiator, as this can warp the midsole and damage the adhesive.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
