adidas Terrex Trailmaker 2 Gore-TEX Hiking Shoes - Bronze - 10.5 UK

While they offer good grip and cushioning, they are primarily designed for hiking. For dedicated trail running, specialized shoes might offer more flexibility and lighter weight.

If you typically find standard-width shoes tight across the ball of your foot or experience numbness, you may benefit from a wider fit. This model comes in a regular fit.

The midsole drop is 10 mm (heel: 29 mm / forefoot: 19 mm). This provides a balanced feel between cushioning and ground responsiveness.

The GORE-TEX membrane provides waterproofing, but these are not insulated winter boots. They are suitable for cold, wet conditions but may not provide sufficient warmth for prolonged snow exposure.

The shoes contain at least 20% recycled content in their construction.

The weight is 393.5 grams for a size UK 8.5, making them relatively lightweight for a hiking shoe.

Ensure laces are tied properly and the tongue is fully gusseted. Check for any damage to the shoe or membrane. Re-treat with appropriate waterproofing spray if needed.

Clean the Continental Rubber outsole thoroughly as mud or debris can impact grip. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn.

Ensure you have the correct size. Consider using different lacing techniques. If the issue persists and is due to foot width, wider fitting alternatives might be necessary.

Remove insoles and allow them to dry separately. Stuff shoes with newspaper to absorb excess moisture. Avoid placing them near radiators or direct heat.
