FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for very cold weather?
While the GORE-TEX membrane offers waterproofing and some insulation, these shoes are primarily designed for three-season hiking. For extreme cold, consider insulated winter boots.
How long does the GORE-TEX waterproofing typically last?
The GORE-TEX membrane is durable and designed for the lifetime of the shoe, provided the footwear is cared for properly. Regular cleaning helps maintain its performance.
Can I wear these for casual everyday use?
Yes, while optimized for hiking, their comfortable and supportive design makes them suitable for casual wear, especially if you anticipate walking on varied surfaces.
What is the main advantage of the Continental™ rubber sole?
The Continental™ rubber outsole provides exceptional grip and traction, comparable to high-performance bicycle tires, ensuring stability on wet and dry surfaces.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Generally, these shoes fit true to the specified UK size. However, individual fit can vary. Trying them on or consulting size charts and reviews is recommended.
How do I clean the textile and synthetic upper?
Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Rinse lightly and allow to air dry.
Are these shoes available in other colors?
Yes, the adidas Terrex Trailmaker 2 Gore-TEX line is available in a range of colors. Please check the product listings for available options.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX
Ensure laces are properly tightened to prevent water ingress from the top. Check for any visible damage to the shoe or membrane. If the shoe has been submerged, some water may enter from the ankle collar.
Slipping on certain surfaces
Clean the Continental™ rubber outsole of any mud or debris, as this can affect grip. Ensure the shoes are adequately broken in for optimal traction. Be aware that no outsole is completely slip-proof on all surfaces, especially ice.
Discomfort or blisters during wear
The shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks initially and gradually increase duration. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks and that the lacing provides a secure, non-binding fit.
Odors inside the shoe
Remove the insoles (if possible) and allow both the insoles and shoes to air out completely. Using anti-odor sprays or powders designed for footwear can also help. Regular cleaning and drying are essential.

Care:
