FAQs

Are these shoes fully waterproof?

Yes, they feature a Gore-TEX membrane designed to keep water out while allowing moisture vapor to escape.

Do I need to size up for hiking socks?

The Terrex Skychaser AX5 follows standard sizing; however, if you prefer extra thick wool socks, some users find a half-size increase helpful.

Can I use these for running?

While they are designed for hiking, their lightweight nature makes them suitable for fast-paced hiking or trail walking, though they lack the specific cushion profile of a dedicated running shoe.

How often should I treat the exterior?

The waterproof performance comes from the internal Gore-TEX membrane, so chemical waterproofing sprays are generally not required, but keep the outer fabric clean to ensure breathability.

Are these suitable for winter hiking?

They are well-suited for wet and cool autumn or spring conditions, but for deep snow or extreme sub-zero temperatures, an insulated winter-specific boot is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Foot slipping inside the shoe

Adjust the lace tension and ensure you are using a 'heel lock' lacing technique to secure the ankle area.

Moisture buildup inside the shoe

Ensure you are using moisture-wicking socks rather than cotton, which traps perspiration and inhibits the Gore-TEX breathability.

Accumulation of debris in tread

Use a stiff brush or a wooden pick to dislodge stones and mud from the outsole lugs to maintain traction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof protection via Gore-TEX
  • High-traction rubber outsole for technical trails
  • Lightweight and breathable textile upper
  • Secure lace-up system for a stable fit

Cons

  • May require a break-in period for maximum comfort
  • Specific fit profile may not suit extra-wide feet
  • Textile materials require regular cleaning to maintain performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal use, ensure the laces are tightened firmly before beginning your hike to maintain proper ankle alignment. These shoes are compatible with standard hiking socks; however, synthetic or wool-blend moisture-wicking socks are recommended to complement the Gore-TEX lining. To care for your shoes, brush off loose dirt and mud after every hike using a soft-bristled brush. If they become heavily soiled, wash by hand using lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can compromise the waterproof membrane and the structural integrity of the adhesive bonds. Always allow them to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
