FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, this specific model of the Terrex AX4 features a breathable mesh upper and does not include a waterproof Gore-Tex membrane.
How should I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt and wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical detergents.
Can I use these for trail running?
While designed primarily for hiking, the lightweight nature and cushioning make them suitable for light trail walking and easy-paced hiking activities.
Does the shoe provide good arch support?
The EVA midsole provides a neutral level of arch support suitable for most hikers. You may swap the standard insole for a custom orthotic if you require specific arch reinforcement.
What is the best way to dry them if they get wet?
Remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper. Let them air dry in a well-ventilated area, avoiding direct sunlight or artificial heat.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the heel during initial use
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to be looser at the lower eyelets and tighter at the top to lock the heel in place.
Accumulation of dust and dirt inside the shoe
Ensure the gusseted tongue is centered properly before tightening the laces to maintain the protective seal.
Midsole feels stiff after long storage
Walk in the shoes for short periods on flat surfaces to allow the EVA foam to regain its flexibility and response.
Pros and Cons

- Gusseted tongue effectively blocks out trail debris

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Terrex AX4 shoes, always ensure the laces are tightened firmly across the midfoot before hitting the trail. If the shoes become muddy, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or campfires, as extreme heat can degrade the synthetic adhesives. Use a soft brush to remove dried dirt from the mesh upper to maintain breathability. These shoes are compatible with standard hiking socks; for maximum comfort, pair them with moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool socks to complement the breathable mesh design.
