FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

While the ripstop upper is durable and protective, please check specific model labeling regarding GORE-TEX integration to confirm full waterproof status.

What is the weight of the shoe?

The shoe weighs approximately 440 grams based on a UK 8.5 size.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the OrthoLite sockliner is removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if required.

How does the sizing run?

These shoes follow a standard regular fit; if you are between sizes, it is recommended to try the larger size to accommodate swelling during long hikes.

What kind of terrain are these best for?

They are designed for versatile use on technical trails, dirt paths, and rocky mountain terrain.

Troubleshooting

Feeling instability on uneven ground

Ensure the laces are tightened specifically around the midfoot lock-down area rather than just the top.

Insole sliding during steep descents

Remove the OrthoLite sockliner, clean any trapped grit from the bottom of the shoe interior, and reinsert it firmly.

Mud accumulation in the tread

Use a specialized rubber-safe brush or a blunt tool to clear the Continental rubber lugs to maintain traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Terrex Skychaser AX5s, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fitting: Test the shoes with the specific hiking socks you intend to wear to ensure the regular fit allows for necessary toe splay.
  2. Lacing: Utilize the standard lace closure system to secure the midfoot, ensuring the tongue is centered before tightening.
  3. Cleaning: After a hike, brush off dry dirt using a soft-bristled brush. For deeper cleaning, wipe the ripstop upper with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid soaking the shoes.
  4. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can degrade the EVA midsole material and adhesive bonds.
