FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Terrex Skychaser Solo is designed with a textile and synthetic upper that offers some water resistance, but they are not fully waterproof. For very wet conditions, consider waterproof hiking boots.
What is the primary use for these shoes?
These are approach shoes, ideal for activities that involve hiking to climbing routes, scrambling, and general trail use where a combination of comfort, grip, and protection is needed.
How do I know if the 'Standard Fit' is right for me?
A standard fit is designed for average-width feet. If you have notably wide or narrow feet, it's recommended to try them on before purchasing or consult sizing guides carefully.
Can I replace the OrthoLite insole?
Yes, the OrthoLite insole is removable and can be replaced with aftermarket insoles if desired, though the original is designed for optimal cushioning and comfort.
How durable is the Continental™ rubber outsole?
Continental™ rubber is known for its durability and high-performance grip, designed to withstand abrasion from rugged terrain.
What type of socks are best to wear with these shoes?
Hiking-specific socks made from moisture-wicking materials like merino wool or synthetic blends are recommended for comfort and to help prevent blisters.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight/loose
Adjust the extended lacing system to your preference. Ensure the fit is snug around the midfoot and heel, but not restrictive to the toes.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Ensure the Continental™ rubber outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. While effective, extreme wet conditions can still challenge any footwear's grip.
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. The OrthoLite insole and upper materials will adapt to your foot shape over time.
Insole moving around
Remove the insole and re-position it firmly within the shoe. Ensure no debris is trapped underneath the insole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Terrex Skychaser Solo comes ready to wear. Simply unlace the shoes, insert your feet, and use the lacing system to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure the lacing is snug but not constricting, especially around the ankle.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed for compatibility with standard hiking socks and are suitable for use with a variety of outdoor gear. They are best suited for trails, approach routes, and light hiking.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your shoes:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush. For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Insoles: The OrthoLite insole can be removed for separate cleaning and drying if needed. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
