Product Information

Full details

The adidas Terrex Skychaser AX5 GORE-TEX is a performance-driven hiking shoe designed for active men who tackle technical terrain with speed and agility. Featuring a lightweight build and a reliable GORE-TEX membrane, these shoes excel at keeping feet dry in wet conditions while maintaining breathability. While they offer superior traction and comfort, users should be aware that the performance-oriented fit is designed for quick movement rather than heavy-duty backpacking or long-distance expedition loads.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?

Yes, they provide good protection in cold, wet conditions, though they are not insulated, so you may want to pair them with thicker wool socks.

How often should I clean the shoes?

It is best to clean them after every muddy or dusty hike to keep the breathable pores of the GORE-TEX membrane clear.

Can I remove the insoles?

Yes, the OrthoLite sockliners are removable, which is helpful if you need to air them out or use custom orthotics.

What is the weight of the shoe?

The shoe weighs approximately 15.2 ounces (430.1 grams) for a UK size 8.5.

Does the Continental rubber wear out quickly?

Continental rubber is formulated for durability and high-friction grip; however, like all outsoles, wear depends on the abrasiveness of the trails you frequent.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure points on the top of the foot

Try adjusting the lacing technique, such as using a window-lacing style to relieve pressure over the high-volume areas.

Water entering the shoe despite the GORE-TEX membrane

Ensure your pants cover the ankle opening to prevent water from running down your leg and into the shoe; GORE-TEX is waterproof, but the cuff opening is not sealed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent traction on diverse terrains thanks to Continental rubber
  • Effective waterproof protection from the GORE-TEX lining
  • Lightweight construction reduces foot fatigue on long days
  • Responsive cushioning via the LIGHTMOTION midsole
  • Durable ripstop upper withstands trail wear and tear

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy-duty, multi-day backpacking with large packs
  • The technical fit may feel narrow for those with wider feet
  • GORE-TEX waterproofing makes them warmer than non-membrane alternatives in extreme heat

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best fit, ensure you wear the same type of hiking socks you plan to use on the trail when trying them on. The lace closure allows for a customizable lockdown; tighten the mid-foot area to prevent slippage during descents.

Care Instructions:

  1. After muddy hikes, remove loose dirt using a soft brush.
  2. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth; avoid harsh detergents that may compromise the waterproof membrane.
  3. Remove the OrthoLite insole to air dry separately if the shoes become saturated.
  4. Always air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and warp the EVA midsole.
