FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Terrex Trailmaker 2 features a regular fit, which is designed for average foot widths. If you have significantly wide feet, you may find them too constricting. Trying them on or consulting a sizing chart for alternative models might be beneficial.
How do I clean mud off the shoes?
After removing loose dirt with a dry brush, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently clean the upper and outsole. Rinse the cloth and wipe away any soap residue. Allow the shoes to air dry completely.
Can I use these shoes for running?
While they offer good cushioning, the Terrex Trailmaker 2 are designed primarily for hiking. They provide more stability and protection than typical running shoes, which may make them feel heavier or less flexible for running.
What is the benefit of the Continental Rubber outsole?
Continental Rubber is known for its high-performance grip, similar to that used in automotive tires. It provides reliable traction on both dry and wet surfaces, enhancing stability and confidence during outdoor activities.
How does the GORE-TEX membrane work?
GORE-TEX is a waterproof and breathable membrane. It prevents external water from entering the shoe while allowing internal moisture vapor (sweat) to escape, keeping your feet dry and comfortable.
What does 'Midsole drop: 10 mm' mean?
The midsole drop refers to the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot of the shoe. A 10 mm drop indicates a moderate offset, which is common for trail running and hiking shoes, providing a balance of cushioning and ground feel.
Are these shoes vegan?
The description states that the shoes contain at least 20% recycled content. However, it does not specify if the entire shoe is vegan. For specific material composition regarding vegan status, it is best to check the official adidas product details or contact their customer service.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX
Ensure laces are properly tightened to prevent water ingress. Check for any visible damage to the GORE-TEX membrane or shoe seams. Allow shoes to dry completely, then re-test. Persistent issues may indicate membrane compromise.
Traction is poor on wet surfaces
Clean the Continental Rubber outsole of any mud or debris. Ensure the shoe has not been exposed to oils or solvents that could affect the rubber's grip. Consider if the trail conditions exceed the intended grip capabilities of the shoe.
Soles feel stiff or uncomfortable
The EVA midsole may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for shorter walks initially to allow them to conform to your foot. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks for cushioning and fit.
Laces are difficult to keep tied
Ensure the laces are a suitable length and material. Double-knotting the laces can provide extra security. Consider replacing the original laces with a more grippy alternative if slippage is a persistent problem.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These hiking shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure proper lacing for a secure and comfortable fit before your first hike. Adjust the laces to accommodate your foot's comfort level, ensuring they are snug but not constricting.
Compatibility: The Terrex Trailmaker 2 is designed for general hiking and outdoor activities. It is compatible with most standard hiking socks. Consider thicker socks for colder weather or additional cushioning.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: After cleaning or getting wet, allow the 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 and waterproof membrane.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX membrane is durable, but its performance can be enhanced by occasional cleaning. For long-term care, consider using a waterproofing spray suitable for technical footwear after thorough cleaning and drying.
