Product Information

Full details

The adidas Terrex Skychaser AX5 GORE-TEX is designed for active hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who require a lightweight, agile shoe that does not compromise on weather protection. Featuring a breathable GORE-TEX membrane and a specialized Continental rubber outsole, this shoe excels on technical, variable terrain; however, users should note that as a lightweight model, it prioritizes speed and flexibility over the heavy-duty ankle support found in traditional trekking boots.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane that provides a waterproof barrier while maintaining breathability.

Are they suitable for trail running?

While primarily a hiking shoe, their lightweight design and responsive EVA cushioning make them highly capable for fast-hiking and trail running.

How do I care for the Continental rubber outsoles?

Simply rinse them with water after your hike to remove mud and grit, which keeps the rubber clean and maintains maximum traction.

What is the midsole drop of the Skychaser AX5?

The shoe has a 10 mm drop, with a heel height of 32 mm and a forefoot height of 22 mm.

Can the insoles be removed?

Yes, the OrthoLite sockliner is removable if you need to air them out or replace them with custom orthotics.

Are these shoes made with sustainable materials?

Yes, they are partially made with recycled and renewable materials as part of adidas' commitment to sustainability.

Troubleshooting

Water entering the shoe despite GORE-TEX membrane

Ensure the shoe is fully laced and the gusseted tongue is not folded. Check if the exterior waterproof treatment has worn off and consider a DWR spray.

Slippage on very loose terrain

While the Continental rubber is highly capable, extremely loose scree or soft mud may still require cautious foot placement and trekking poles for added stability.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent traction in both wet and dry conditions
  • Waterproof and breathable protection
  • Lightweight build reduces fatigue on fast-paced hikes
  • Durable construction with abrasion-resistant materials
  • Includes antimicrobial insole for improved hygiene

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy-load, multi-day expeditions

  • Limited to specific outdoor trail environments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your adidas Terrex Skychaser AX5 shoes, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after each hike. Use lukewarm water and a mild detergent to clean stubborn mud. Avoid machine washing or drying.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or fireplaces, which can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and warp the EVA midsole.
  3. Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup and maintain the integrity of the antimicrobial insole.
  4. Lacing: Ensure the laces are securely tightened to utilize the gusseted tongue feature fully, preventing debris from entering.
