FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
These shoes feature a regular fit. If you have particularly wide feet, it is recommended to try them on before purchasing or check reviews for specific feedback on width accommodation.
What is the purpose of the midsole drop?
The 9 mm midsole drop (heel: 26 mm / forefoot: 17 mm) provides a balanced feel, promoting a more natural foot motion and responsive cushioning during hiking.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Ensure there is about a finger's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. Your heel should feel secure without excessive lift when walking.
Can these shoes be used for trail running?
While they offer good grip and cushioning, these shoes are primarily designed for hiking. For dedicated trail running, shoes with more flexibility and lighter weight might be more suitable.
What does 'RAIN.RDY' mean?
RAIN.RDY is adidas's technology that provides waterproof protection, ensuring your feet stay dry in wet weather conditions.
Are these shoes available in men's sizes?
This particular product is listed as women's sizing. Please check the adidas Terrex range for specific men's models.
How much do these shoes weigh?
The shoes weigh approximately 330 grams for a size UK 5.5.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp despite RAIN.RDY.
Ensure laces are securely fastened to prevent water ingress at the tongue. Check for any visible damage to the shoe material or seams. Extreme saturation or prolonged submersion may eventually exceed the material's capabilities.
Slipping on wet surfaces.
The Traxion outsole provides grip, but extremely slick surfaces (e.g., polished wet rock, thick mud) can still pose a challenge. Ensure you are walking with appropriate caution. Clean the outsole regularly to remove debris that might impede traction.
Discomfort or rubbing during initial wear.
Hiking shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Check that the lacing is not too tight or too loose.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and cool water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and affect the waterproof membrane.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: The RAIN.RDY membrane is durable, but avoid prolonged immersion in water. For extended water protection, consider reapplying a suitable footwear waterproofing treatment specifically designed for synthetic and textile materials.
