FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

These shoes are designed to be water-friendly with quick-drying materials and a drainage system, rather than fully waterproof. They excel at shedding water and managing moisture.

What is the primary advantage of the Continental Rubber outsole?

The Continental Rubber outsole provides exceptional grip, particularly on wet and slippery surfaces, offering enhanced stability and confidence during hikes near water.

How do I clean my Terrex Skychaser Ax5 shoes?

Rinse with clean water, use a soft brush for dirt, and air dry naturally. Avoid machine washing or direct heat.

What does CLIMACOOL technology do?

CLIMACOOL technology actively wicks away sweat and regulates humidity, helping to keep your feet cool and dry during activity.

What is the midsole drop, and why is it important?

The midsole drop is 10 mm. This measurement represents the height difference between the heel and the forefoot. A 10 mm drop offers a balanced feel suitable for many hikers, promoting a natural foot strike.

Can these shoes be used for general hiking on dry trails?

Yes, while optimized for water-adjacent activities, they offer good grip and comfort for general hiking on moderate, dry trails due to their durable construction and cushioned midsole.

What is the weight of the shoe?

The weight is approximately 460 grams for a pair in UK size 8.5. Individual shoe weight may vary slightly by size.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the lace closure for a more secure or relaxed fit. Ensure you are using the correct UK size; consult the sizing chart if unsure.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces.

Ensure the Continental Rubber outsole is clean. Mud or debris can significantly reduce traction. Rinse the shoes and scrub the outsole gently.

Feet feel damp or sweaty.

While CLIMACOOL wicks moisture, very high humidity or intense activity can still lead to dampness. Ensure socks are also moisture-wicking. Allow shoes to dry completely between uses.

Slight odor after use.

Allow shoes to air dry completely between wears. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda to absorb odors. Regular cleaning will also help.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent grip on wet and slippery surfaces thanks to the Continental Rubber outsole.
  • CLIMACOOL technology keeps feet cool and dry by wicking away sweat.
  • Quick-drying materials and drainage system are ideal for water activities.
  • Durable ripstop upper provides protection and longevity.
  • Lightweight EVA midsole offers good cushioning for comfort.

Cons

  • May not offer the same level of ankle support as mid-cut hiking boots.
  • The focus on water-friendliness might mean slightly less insulation for very cold, dry conditions.
  • Ripstop material, while durable, might require specific cleaning to maintain performance.
  • Weight listed at 460 grams (UK 8.5) is for the pair, individual shoe weight can vary.
  • Midsole drop is 10mm, which is moderate and might not suit those preferring zero-drop or very high-drop footwear.
