FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The base model features a durable ripstop upper designed for breathability and trail protection, but it is not inherently waterproof. Ensure you check for specific 'Gore-TEX' labeled variants if waterproof performance is required.
Are these suitable for daily gym use?
While they are comfortable, these are specifically designed for hiking. The tread pattern is optimized for trail traction and may wear down quickly on flat, hard gym surfaces.
How should I clean the exterior?
Use a soft brush to remove loose debris and a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains. Do not machine wash.
Do these fit true to size?
Yes, they feature a regular fit. However, if you prefer wearing thick wool hiking socks, consider testing your fit with those socks on.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from high-durability ripstop fabric reinforced with protective synthetic overlays.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming loose during hikes
Use a double knot or consider using a 'heel lock' lacing technique to increase tension around the ankle.
Foot discomfort during initial use
Ensure the shoe is correctly sized and verify that the socks worn are moisture-wicking hiking socks, which provide better padding and reduce friction.
Excessive dirt buildup in the mesh
Once dry, use a stiff-bristled brush to knock dirt out of the ripstop weave; do not use heavy solvents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Terrex Skychaser Ax5 shoes, follow these care guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for shorter walks before embarking on a long-distance hike to allow the materials to mold to your foot.
- Cleaning: After muddy hikes, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Wipe the ripstop upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary; avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Never place them directly on radiators or use a tumble dryer, as heat can warp the structural overlays and degrade adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the synthetic materials.
