FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Terrex Skychaser AX5 features a ripstop upper with synthetic overlays for durability, but they are not categorized as fully waterproof.
What is the best way to clean the Ortholite sockliner?
The sockliner can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and cold water; air dry completely before re-inserting.
Can I use these for trail running?
While durable and lightweight, they are specifically optimized for hiking; for dedicated trail running, look for shoes with specialized running outsoles.
How should I store these shoes long-term?
Keep them in a ventilated area, ideally stuffed with paper to help maintain their shape.
Does the fit run true to size?
The shoes are designed with a regular fit that typically aligns with standard athletic shoe sizing for adults.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort or hot spots during a hike
Adjust the lacing tension to ensure an even fit and ensure your socks are not bunched inside the shoe.
Accumulation of dirt in the tread
Use a specialized boot brush or a stiff-bristled brush to clear debris from the outsole lugs to maintain traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your adidas Terrex Skychaser AX5 shoes, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While they offer a regular fit, it is recommended to wear them on short walks before attempting long-distance hikes to ensure the material adapts to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove loose mud and debris with a soft-bristle brush after every hike. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, to prevent the midsole foam and synthetic materials from degrading.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew and ensure the structural integrity of the upper materials.
