FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance backpacking?
The adidas Terrex Trailmaker 2 Hiking Shoes offer good cushioning and support for moderate hikes. For very long-distance backpacking with heavy loads, consider models with more robust support and cushioning specifically designed for such demands.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. Your heel should feel secure and not slip excessively when walking.
Can I wear these shoes in very cold weather?
The GORE-TEX membrane provides waterproofness and some warmth, but these shoes are not insulated for extreme cold. For winter hiking in freezing temperatures, consider insulated winter boots.
How often should I clean my hiking shoes?
It's best to clean your shoes after each significant use, especially if they have been exposed to mud or dirt. Regular cleaning helps maintain their performance and longevity.
What does 'midsole drop' mean?
Midsole drop refers to the height difference between the heel and the forefoot of the shoe. A 10 mm drop, as found in the Terrex Trailmaker 2, indicates a moderate drop that suits many hikers.
Are these shoes made with recycled materials?
Yes, the shoes contain at least 20% recycled content, contributing to sustainability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or cause discomfort.
Loosen the laces and readjust for a more personalized fit. Consider wearing thinner socks if the issue persists. Ensure you have the correct size by consulting the sizing chart.
Feet feel wet inside the shoes.
Check if the GORE-TEX membrane has been compromised. Ensure all lace eyelets are secure. If the shoes have been submerged for an extended period, some moisture ingress may occur. Allow them to dry thoroughly.
Traction is poor on certain surfaces.
Ensure the Continental Rubber outsole is clean of mud and debris. The outsole is designed for grip, but extreme conditions may still pose challenges. Consider the terrain and adjust your pace accordingly.
Materials show signs of wear and tear prematurely.
Ensure you are using the shoes for their intended purpose (hiking and trail walking) and not for activities that put excessive stress on the materials. Proper cleaning and drying can extend the life of the materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the lace closure is adjusted for a snug but comfortable fit before your first use. It is recommended to wear them for shorter periods initially to break them in.
Compatibility: Designed for men's UK size 7.5 foot, these shoes are compatible with standard hiking socks. They are suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities including hiking, trail walking, and general outdoor exploration.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. Clean the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials and waterproof membrane.
- Waterproofing: The GORE-TEX membrane offers lasting waterproofness. Regular cleaning helps maintain its performance. Avoid abrasive materials that could compromise the membrane or upper.
