FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy backpacking trips?
The Terrex Trailmaker 2 are best suited for day hikes and moderate trails. For heavy backpacking with significant weight, consider more robust hiking boots with enhanced ankle support.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. Your heel should feel secure with minimal lift when walking.
Can I wear these in hot weather?
The GORE-TEX membrane provides waterproofing but also breathability. While suitable for general outdoor use, they may feel warmer than non-waterproof shoes in very hot, dry conditions.
What is the lifespan of the GORE-TEX membrane?
The GORE-TEX membrane is designed for durability. With proper care and regular cleaning, it should maintain its waterproof and breathable properties for the typical lifespan of the shoe.
Are these shoes waterproof or water-resistant?
These shoes feature a GORE-TEX membrane, making them fully waterproof and highly breathable.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and the GORE-TEX membrane. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX.
Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress at the ankle. Check for any tears or damage to the GORE-TEX membrane. Condensation can also occur during high activity; ensure socks are breathable and consider the shoe's natural breathability limits.
Slipping on wet surfaces.
While the outsole provides grip, extreme conditions may challenge any footwear. Ensure the shoes are properly fitted. For very slick conditions, consider alternative footwear designed for such environments.
Discomfort or rubbing.
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Wear appropriate hiking socks. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter walks before embarking on long hikes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes require no assembly. Simply ensure they are the correct size and lace them up for a secure fit before your activity.
Compatibility: Designed for general hiking and outdoor activities. They are compatible with most standard hiking socks.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. Wipe down the upper with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh detergents.
- 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 affect the GORE-TEX membrane. You can stuff them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
