FAQs
Should I buy these shoes in my usual size?
The product description advises to 'Buy 1 Size Bigger' for these specific shoes. It's recommended to follow this guidance to ensure a comfortable fit, especially considering potential foot swelling during hikes.
Are these shoes suitable for heavy rain?
The RAIN.RDY technology offers water repellency, making them suitable for light rain and wet conditions. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours or deep water, they may not provide complete waterproofness.
What kind of terrain are these shoes best for?
These shoes are designed for moderate hiking trails, including forest paths, gravel, and light rocky terrain. The Traxion outsole provides good grip on varied surfaces.
How do I clean the shoes?
Gently brush off loose dirt. For more thorough cleaning, use a damp cloth or sponge with cool water and mild soap. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What is the benefit of the gusseted tongue?
A gusseted tongue is attached to the sides of the shoe, helping to prevent water, mud, and debris from entering the shoe, thus keeping your feet cleaner and drier.
Does the upper material have any environmental benefits?
Yes, the upper of these shoes contains a minimum of 50% recycled content, contributing to adidas's commitment to reducing environmental impact.
Can I use these for trail running?
While they offer good grip and cushioning, these shoes are primarily designed for hiking. For dedicated trail running, specialized trail running shoes might offer better performance and features.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp despite RAIN.RDY
Ensure the tongue is properly positioned and that no water has entered from the top opening. RAIN.RDY is water-repellent, not fully waterproof under submersion. Consider if the water ingress is from the top rather than through the shoe material. Check if the water-repellent finish needs reapplication.
Traction feels insufficient on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsole tread to remove mud or debris that can reduce grip. The Traxion outsole is designed for multi-directional grip, but very slick surfaces like wet ice may still pose a challenge. Ensure the shoes are the correct size for a secure fit.
Discomfort or pressure points during wear
Try wearing the shoes with different types of hiking socks. It is recommended to buy one size larger, so if the fit still feels off, consider trying a different size. Break them in with shorter walks before longer hikes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.
Compatibility: Designed for adult female hikers engaging in moderate outdoor activities. They are best suited for trails, light trekking, and general outdoor wear in damp conditions.
Care: To maintain the water-repellent properties and condition of the shoes:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or sponge with cool water and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Water Repellency: Reapply a waterproofing spray specifically designed for footwear periodically, following the product's instructions, to maintain the RAIN.RDY performance.
