FAQs

Are these shoes fully waterproof?

The shoes feature RAIN.RDY technology, which provides excellent water resistance to keep feet dry in wet conditions. However, they are not designed for prolonged submersion in water and may not be considered fully waterproof for activities like crossing deep streams.

How do I determine the correct size for my child?

It is recommended to measure your child's foot length and compare it to the brand's sizing chart. Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe for comfort and growth.

Can these shoes be machine washed?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and affect the waterproofing properties. Hand wash with cold water and mild soap, and air dry.

What is the main benefit of the EVA midsole?

The EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) midsole provides lightweight cushioning and shock absorption, making the shoes comfortable for extended wear on various terrains.

Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?

While comfortable and durable, their design is optimized for hiking and outdoor activities. They can be worn casually, but their specific features like RAIN.RDY and rugged tread are most beneficial during outdoor adventures.

How should I store the shoes when not in use?

Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing to prevent odor or material degradation.

What does 'RAIN.RDY' mean for the shoe's performance?

RAIN.RDY is adidas's technology designed to keep feet dry by blocking rain and wetness while allowing for some breathability. It's engineered for protection against wet weather conditions encountered during outdoor activities.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel damp inside after a hike.

This can occur if the shoes were exposed to significant moisture or if sweat buildup is high. Ensure they are thoroughly air-dried after use. If the dampness persists, it might indicate prolonged water exposure exceeding the RAIN.RDY's capability or a potential issue with the membrane over time.

Laces are difficult to tie securely.

Ensure the eyelets are clear of debris. Try lacing the shoes evenly, pulling firmly at each stage. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with new, robust hiking laces.

Child complains of discomfort.

Verify the shoe size is correct and that they are laced appropriately. Ensure there are no creases or foreign objects inside the shoe. Children's feet grow quickly, so re-check the fit regularly.

Tread appears worn down quickly.

Aggressive use on hard surfaces or constant friction can wear down the tread faster than on typical trails. Ensure the shoes are used primarily for their intended purpose (hiking and outdoor activities) to maximize tread life.

Pros and Cons

  • Keeps feet dry in wet and rainy conditions.
  • Built to withstand the rigors of hiking and outdoor play.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the laces are tied securely for optimal fit and support.

Compatibility: Designed as children's hiking shoes, they are compatible with typical outdoor terrain. They are not designed for specialized activities like mountaineering or extreme sports.

Care: To maintain the performance and lifespan of your Terrex Trailmaker 2 RAIN.RDY shoes:

  1. Cleaning: Brush off loose dirt after each use. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with cold water and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Never dry shoes near a direct heat source like a radiator or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. You can stuff them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  3. Water Repellency: While RAIN.RDY provides water resistance, the effectiveness can diminish over time. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion in water. Consider using a suitable water-repellent spray designed for footwear if needed.
