FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?

The GORE-TEX membrane offers waterproofing and breathability, making them suitable for wet conditions. For very cold, snowy conditions, consider adding thermal socks or looking for insulated winter hiking boots.

How do I break in these hiking shoes?

While the LIGHTMOTION EVA midsole offers immediate comfort, it's recommended to wear them for shorter walks initially to allow them to fully conform to your foot shape. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly during this period.

What is the purpose of the 10 mm midsole drop?

The 10 mm drop (32 mm heel / 22 mm forefoot) is designed to promote a natural foot motion while providing sufficient cushioning. It offers a balanced feel for many hikers, with more cushioning in the heel.

Can I machine wash these hiking shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and the waterproof membrane. Hand clean them with cool water and a soft brush.

What is the weight of these shoes?

The shoes weigh approximately 460 grams for a size FR 42 2/3, making them a relatively lightweight option for extended wear.

How does the Continental™ rubber outsole differ from standard rubber?

Continental™ rubber is a high-performance compound known for its superior grip and durability, providing reliable traction in both wet and dry conditions, similar to tires used by the automotive industry.

Is this shoe available in other colors or widths?

The Terrex Skychaser Ax5 model is available in various colorways and sizes. Please check the product listings for specific availability. This particular guide focuses on the brown variant.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet inside the shoe.

Ensure laces are securely fastened to prevent water ingress. Check if the GORE-TEX membrane is intact; if damaged, the waterproofing may be compromised. Ensure socks are not holding moisture.

Reduced grip on slippery surfaces.

Clean the Continental™ rubber outsole to remove mud or debris that may be hindering traction. Ensure the shoe is not excessively worn.

Discomfort or pressure points during hikes.

Adjust the lacing to relieve pressure. Consider using aftermarket insoles for personalized arch support if needed. Ensure the correct size has been selected, as an improper fit is a common cause of discomfort.

Shoes feel stiff after getting wet.

Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid using artificial heat sources. Once dry, the flexibility should return.
