FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
The CLIMAPROOF technology offers water and wind resistance, making them suitable for damp or cold conditions. However, they are not insulated and may not provide sufficient warmth or aggressive traction for deep snow or icy winter trails.
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, and the midfoot should be snug but not constricting.
Can I wear these for trail running?
While they offer good grip and cushioning, they are primarily designed as hiking shoes. Their weight and stiffness are optimized for walking rather than the dynamic movements of trail running. For dedicated trail running, a lighter, more flexible shoe is recommended.
What is the difference between CLIMAPROOF and GORE-TEX?
CLIMAPROOF is adidas' own proprietary waterproof and breathable technology. GORE-TEX is a third-party membrane widely used in outdoor gear. Both aim to keep feet dry, but performance characteristics can vary.
How often should I clean my hiking shoes?
It's best to clean them after each significant use, especially if they have been exposed to mud or dirt, to maintain their condition and performance. Regular light cleaning prevents buildup.
What is the midsole drop?
The midsole drop is the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot of the shoe's midsole. A 9 mm drop indicates a moderate offset, which is common for hiking shoes and balances cushioning with a natural feel.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite CLIMAPROOF
Ensure the shoe is properly laced to prevent water ingress. Check for any damage to the CLIMAPROOF membrane or excessive wear. Consider if the shoes have been submerged for too long, as no waterproof membrane is 100% effective under extreme conditions.
Traction is poor on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsole tread to remove mud or debris that may be hindering grip. Ensure the shoes are not worn out; the tread pattern can wear down over time. For exceptionally slick conditions, consider the limitations of any rubber sole.
Discomfort or rubbing
Verify the shoe size and width are appropriate. Ensure socks are suitable for hiking. Break in the shoes with shorter walks before undertaking longer hikes. Adjust lacing to find a more comfortable, secure fit.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Waterproof and breathable with CLIMAPROOF technology.
- Good grip on diverse surfaces thanks to the rubber outsole.
- Comfortable cushioning from the EVA midsole for extended wear.
- Lightweight construction for agility on trails.
Cons
- May lack ankle support for advanced backpacking.
- Designed primarily for day hikes and lighter trails.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes require no setup. Simply ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit.
Compatibility: Suitable for general hiking, walking, and everyday outdoor activities. They are designed for adult female foot sizes.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the upper with a damp cloth after use. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and waterproof membrane.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are completely dry before storing.
- Waterproofing: While CLIMAPROOF technology is durable, avoid prolonged submersion in water. Reapply waterproofing treatments specifically designed for footwear if water resistance diminishes over time.
