FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?

Yes, the Gore-Tex waterproofing and aggressive grip make them capable of handling wet and chilly conditions, though they are not insulated for extreme arctic temperatures.

Can I wash my Terrex Skychaser AX5 in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the Gore-Tex membrane. Please clean them by hand.

How do I know if I have the right size?

You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for foot swelling during long hikes.

What should I do if the Gore-Tex stops repelling water?

If the outer fabric begins to soak through, you may need to re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to the exterior of the shoe.

Are these suitable for trail running?

While they provide excellent support, they are primarily designed for hiking. Their weight and build are optimized for stability rather than the high-speed gait of trail running.

Troubleshooting

Feeling discomfort or hot spots during the first hike.

The shoes may require a break-in period. Try wearing them for shorter walks on flat ground before committing to long, steep treks.

Water seems to be entering the shoe during heavy rain.

Check that the shoe is properly tightened and that water is not entering over the top collar. Ensure the inner membrane is not punctured by sharp debris.

Laces feel loose after several hours of walking.

Ensure the quick lacing toggle is fully engaged and locked into its housing. Re-tighten if necessary during trail breaks.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof protection via Gore-Tex technology
  • High-traction rubber outsole for stability on technical terrain
  • Shock-absorbing midsole reduces long-term fatigue
  • Quick lacing system allows for a fast, secure fit
  • Durable yet lightweight materials suited for rugged expeditions

Cons

  • Performance-focused build may be less comfortable for casual city walking
  • Requires proper break-in period for optimal comfort
  • Gore-Tex material can feel warmer in intense heat

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your shoes maintain their performance, begin by adjusting the quick lacing system until you achieve a snug, secure fit that prevents heel slippage. Wear moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool socks, as these work in harmony with the shoe's internal membrane to manage perspiration.

For care, remove surface mud and debris after every hike using a soft-bristled brush. If the shoes become heavily soiled, hand wash them with lukewarm water and a mild soap, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can compromise the materials. Do not machine wash or tumble dry these shoes.
