FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance trekking?

The EVA midsole offers good cushioning for comfort, and the lightweight design helps reduce fatigue. They are suitable for extended wear on easy to moderate trails, but for highly technical or multi-day expeditions requiring maximum support, other models might be more appropriate.

How do I ensure the GORE-TEX membrane remains effective?

Clean the shoes regularly and dry them naturally. Avoid heat. Periodically applying a GORE-TEX-specific waterproofing spray can help maintain the membrane's performance.

What is the main advantage of the Continental™ Rubber outsole?

The Continental™ Rubber outsole provides superior traction and grip on a wide variety of surfaces, including wet rocks and slippery trails, offering enhanced stability and confidence in challenging conditions.

Can I wear these shoes in warm weather?

The GORE-TEX membrane is designed to be waterproof yet breathable. While breathable, they are engineered for outdoor conditions and may feel warm in very high temperatures compared to non-waterproofed shoes.

What does 'Midsole drop: 10 mm' mean?

The midsole drop refers to the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot. A 10 mm drop means the heel is 10 mm higher than the forefoot, which is a common and comfortable specification for many athletic and hiking shoes.

How much recycled content is in these shoes?

The shoes contain at least 20% recycled content, reflecting a commitment to sustainability in their manufacturing.

Do these shoes come in other colors or sizes?

Yes, the Terrex Trailmaker 2 line is available in various colorways and sizes. Please check the product listing for available options.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet after hiking in the rain.

Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress. Check that the GORE-TEX membrane is intact; if damaged, waterproofing may be compromised. If socks are the issue, consider moisture-wicking hiking socks.

Slipping on wet surfaces.

Ensure the Continental™ Rubber outsole is clean, as mud or debris can reduce traction. The outsole is designed for grip, but extreme conditions may still pose a risk. Ensure proper gait and body positioning on difficult terrain.

Discomfort or pressure points during wear.

Adjust lacing for a more personalized fit. The gusseted tongue and EVA midsole aim for comfort, but individual foot shapes may require different support. Consider using insoles if additional arch support is needed.

Shoes appear worn or damaged after limited use.

The abrasion-resistant overlays offer protection, but heavy use on extremely rough terrain can still cause wear. Ensure the shoes are being used for their intended purpose (easy to moderate trails). Inspect for potential defects.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX membrane for all-weather comfort.
  • Excellent grip on various surfaces thanks to the Continental™ Rubber outsole.
  • Comfortable cushioning from the EVA midsole for extended wear.
  • Durable construction with abrasion-resistant overlays.
  • Lightweight design reduces foot fatigue.

Cons

  • Best suited for easy trails, may not offer sufficient support for highly technical or rugged terrain.
  • Regular fit might not be ideal for individuals requiring a wider or narrower shoe.
  • The specific weight (393.5 g for size UK 8.5) indicates it's not an ultralight option.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the laces are properly tied for a secure and comfortable fit, adjusting the tightness as needed. The regular fit is designed for standard foot shapes.

Compatibility: The Terrex Trailmaker 2 is designed for hiking and general outdoor activities. It is compatible with standard hiking socks. The shoe's design focuses on providing a good feel and traction on varied natural surfaces.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your shoes:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and affect the waterproof membrane.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically, you may consider using a waterproofing treatment specifically designed for GORE-TEX footwear to maintain water repellency.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
