Product Information

Full details

The adidas Terrex Trailmaker 2 GORE-TEX Hiking Shoes are designed for adult males seeking versatile and waterproof footwear for everyday trails and rugged terrain. Their key benefit is reliable performance and all-day comfort in various weather conditions, thanks to the GORE-TEX membrane and grippy Continental Rubber outsole. A minor caveat is their weight, which is 393.5g (size UK 8.5), making them less ideal for ultra-lightweight pursuits. These shoes feature a secure lace closure, a durable textile and synthetic upper with protective overlays, a comfortable EVA midsole, and a gusseted tongue for enhanced fit.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for heavy-duty mountaineering?

The Trailmaker 2 GORE-TEX shoes are designed for versatile trail use and everyday adventures. For extreme mountaineering requiring extensive ankle support and heavy load bearing, a more specialized boot would be recommended.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without excessive slipping. Trying them on at the end of the day, when feet are slightly swollen, is often recommended.

What does 'midsole drop' mean?

Midsole drop refers to the height difference between the heel and the forefoot cushioning. A 10mm drop means the heel is 10mm higher than the forefoot, which can influence your running or walking posture and biomechanics.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the existing insoles are typically removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics or alternative insoles if desired.

How long does the GORE-TEX waterproofness typically last?

The GORE-TEX membrane is highly durable. With proper care, the waterproof and breathable properties can last for the lifespan of the shoe. Regular cleaning and avoiding damage to the membrane are key.

What is the benefit of the gusseted tongue?

A gusseted tongue is attached to the sides of the shoe, helping to prevent water, dirt, and debris from entering the shoe through the lace area, while also improving the overall fit and comfort.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The shoes are described with a 'Regular fit'. While not specifically designed for wide feet, individual experiences may vary. It is best to try them on or consult specific sizing guides if you have wider feet.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX.

Ensure laces are properly tied and the gusseted tongue is aligned. Check for any visible damage to the shoe or membrane. If the issue persists, the waterproof barrier might be compromised.

Traction is poor on slippery surfaces.

Clean the Continental Rubber outsole of any mud or debris. Inspect the tread pattern for wear. The outsole is designed for grip, but extreme conditions can still pose challenges.

Discomfort during long walks.

Verify the shoe size and fit. Ensure laces are adjusted appropriately for a snug but not overly tight feel. The EVA midsole provides cushioning, but personal preference for support may vary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX membrane for all-weather protection.
  • Excellent grip and durability from the Continental Rubber outsole.
  • Comfortable cushioning provided by the EVA midsole.
  • Made with a significant percentage of recycled materials.
  • Versatile design suitable for various trail conditions.

Cons

  • Can be heavier than minimalist trail shoes (393.5g for size UK 8.5).
  • May not offer the same ankle support as mid-cut hiking boots.
  • Lace closure requires manual adjustment for optimal fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure the fit is comfortable by adjusting the lace closure. The gusseted tongue helps maintain its position.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult males with standard foot widths. The UK size 12 listed is compatible with typical footwear sizing. Available in multiple colors like Blue, Grey, Bronze, and Black.

Care: To maintain the GORE-TEX membrane and overall shoe integrity:

  1. Remove excess dirt with a soft brush.
  2. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh detergents.
  3. Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  4. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
