FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
The GORE-TEX membrane provides waterproofing and some insulation, making them suitable for damp winter conditions. However, they are not insulated hiking boots and may not be warm enough for deep snow or extreme cold without additional thermal socks.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size guide provided by adidas. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the UK sizing. Many users suggest trying them on with the type of socks you would normally wear for hiking.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
While they offer good grip and support, the Terrex Trailmaker 2 are primarily designed as hiking shoes. For dedicated trail running, shoes with more flexibility and lighter construction might be more suitable.
What is the midsole drop?
The midsole drop is 10 mm, with 29 mm in the heel and 19 mm in the forefoot. This is a moderate drop that balances cushioning and ground feel.
How much do the shoes weigh?
The shoes weigh approximately 393.5 grams for a UK size 8.5.
How do I care for the GORE-TEX membrane?
Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach. Clean gently with water and mild soap, and always air dry. Periodic reapplication of a waterproofing spray suitable for GORE-TEX materials can help maintain performance.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX
Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent water entry from the top. Check for any visible damage to the shoe or membrane. The GORE-TEX membrane is highly effective, but prolonged submersion or damage can compromise waterproofing.
Slipping on certain surfaces
Clean the Continental Rubber outsole of any mud or debris, as this can affect grip. Ensure you are using the shoes on terrain they are designed for; while excellent, extreme conditions may require specialized footwear.
Discomfort during long walks
Verify you have the correct size and that the shoes are laced appropriately. The EVA midsole provides cushioning, but breaking in period might be necessary. Ensure socks are suitable for hiking to prevent friction.

Care:
