FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
The adidas Terrex Trailmaker 2 GTX offers excellent waterproofing and warmth for wet conditions. For very cold, snowy, or icy conditions, consider adding thermal socks or a shoe specifically designed for winter conditions with enhanced insulation.
How do I clean the GORE-TEX membrane?
The GORE-TEX membrane is integrated into the shoe's lining. Clean the exterior of the shoe as per the care instructions. Avoid using harsh chemicals directly on the membrane. Proper cleaning of the exterior helps maintain the shoe's overall performance and the membrane's effectiveness.
What is the midsole drop?
The midsole drop is 10 mm, with a heel height of 29 mm and a forefoot height of 19 mm. This relatively moderate drop provides a balance of cushioning and ground feel.
How much do the shoes weigh?
The shoes weigh approximately 393.5 grams for a UK size 8.5, making them lightweight for their category.
Can I wear these for everyday use?
While comfortable and supportive, these are technical trail shoes optimized for outdoor activities. For everyday casual wear, they might be more robust than necessary and may wear down faster if not used on trails.
Do they come in different colors or sizes?
Yes, the adidas Terrex Trailmaker 2 GTX is available in various colorways and a wide range of adult sizes. Please check product listings for specific available options.
What does 'Contains at least 20% recycled content' mean?
This indicates that a significant portion of the materials used in the shoe's construction has been sourced from recycled sources, contributing to a reduced environmental impact.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp after use in wet conditions.
Ensure laces are properly tied to prevent water ingress from the top. Check that the gusseted tongue is seated correctly. If the dampness persists after extensive use or significant damage is suspected, the GORE-TEX membrane may be compromised, and it may be time to consider replacement.
Shoe feels uncomfortable or causes blisters.
The shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks initially and gradually increase duration. Ensure the lacing system provides a secure fit without excessive pressure points. Consider wearing thicker hiking socks.
Losing grip on certain surfaces.
Ensure the Traxion outsole is free from embedded mud, stones, or debris. Clean the outsole with water and a brush. Note that while the Traxion outsole offers excellent grip, extreme conditions (like polished ice) may still present challenges.
Difficulty lacing or uneven tension.
Ensure the laces are not tangled and pass smoothly through the eyelets. Experiment with different lacing techniques to achieve even tension across the midfoot and ankle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Terrex Trailmaker 2 GTX comes ready for immediate use. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a secure yet comfortable fit, not too tight to restrict circulation but snug enough to prevent foot slippage. The regular fit is designed to accommodate most foot shapes, but consider sizing up if you have particularly wide feet or prefer more room for thicker socks.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed for trail use, including hiking, trail running, and trekking. They are compatible with standard hiking socks. Due to their waterproof nature, they are best suited for moderate to cool weather conditions; in very hot weather, breathability might be less than non-waterproof alternatives.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and the GORE-TEX membrane. Remove insoles during drying for better ventilation.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX membrane is durable, but maintaining the outer treatment can help water bead off. Periodic re-waterproofing sprays designed for technical footwear can be used, following the product's instructions.
