FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?

The GORE-TEX membrane provides waterproofness, but these shoes are primarily designed for moderate conditions. For deep snow or extreme cold, consider insulated winter hiking boots.

How do I break in these hiking shoes?

The Terrex Trailmaker 2 shoes generally require minimal break-in time due to their design. Wear them for short walks initially and gradually increase the distance to allow them to conform to your feet.

Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and the GORE-TEX membrane. Hand wash gently with a soft brush and mild soap.

What is the expected lifespan of the GORE-TEX membrane?

With proper care and regular cleaning, the GORE-TEX membrane is designed to last for the functional lifetime of the shoe. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods or harsh chemicals.

Are there other color options available?

Yes, this model is available in various colorways, including Blue, Grey, and Black, often with different secondary color accents.

What does 'Midsole drop' mean?

Midsole drop refers to the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot of the shoe. A 10mm drop indicates a moderate offset, common in trail running and hiking shoes, promoting a natural stride.

Does this shoe contain recycled materials?

Yes, the shoe contains at least 20% recycled content, reflecting a commitment to sustainability in its manufacturing.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX

Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent water entering from the top. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX membrane or if the DWR coating needs reapplication. Clean the shoe as debris can impede membrane function.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While Continental Rubber offers excellent grip, extreme conditions can still pose challenges. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris. If persistent, consider the terrain limitations for this shoe model.

Discomfort after a hike

Verify the shoe size and fit; consider trying thicker or thinner socks. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, causing pressure points. The EVA midsole is designed for day hikes; for longer, more demanding treks, a shoe with more robust support might be necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof performance thanks to the GORE-TEX membrane.
  • Superior grip on diverse surfaces with Continental Rubber.
  • Comfortable cushioning for day hikes and moderate trails.
  • Durable construction with protective overlays.
  • Lightweight design for reduced fatigue.

Cons

  • Fit may vary; trying on is recommended for best results.
  • Primarily designed for day hikes, may lack support for multi-day backpacking.
  • Specific care needed for the GORE-TEX membrane to maintain performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes require no specific setup beyond ensuring the correct fit. Lace them snugly for a secure feel, adjusting the tightness based on the terrain and your comfort.

Compatibility: Suitable for use with standard hiking socks. The GORE-TEX membrane is compatible with most weather conditions typically encountered on day hikes.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place near direct heat sources like radiators or fireplaces, as this can damage the materials and membrane.
  3. Waterproofing: Periodically check the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. If water is no longer beading on the surface, consider reapplying a GORE-TEX-approved waterproofing treatment.
