FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane, which is designed to keep water out while allowing internal moisture to escape.
Can I use these for long-distance backpacking?
These shoes are best for light-to-moderate hiking. If you are carrying a heavy overnight pack, you may prefer a stiffer, high-top boot for additional stability.
How do I clean the mud off?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and wipe with a damp cloth. Do not put them in a washing machine, as this can damage the performance materials.
Is the sole suitable for slippery rocks?
Yes, the Continental Rubber outsole is specifically designed to provide superior traction on wet surfaces, including slippery rocks.
How should I store them?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme heat to prevent material degradation.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the Ortholite sockliner is removable, allowing you to air it out or replace it with custom orthotics if needed.
Troubleshooting
Moisture accumulation inside the shoe
Ensure you are using technical, moisture-wicking socks. Cotton socks trap sweat, which can mimic the feeling of a leaking waterproof membrane.
Slippage or poor lockdown
Adjust the lacing pattern to use the eyelets closer to the ankle for a more secure fit, or check that the sockliner is correctly positioned inside the shoe.
Loss of traction over time
Check the outsole lugs for embedded rocks or caked mud, which can reduce surface area contact with the trail.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Terrex Skychaser AX5 shoes provide the best performance, it is recommended to wear them with moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool hiking socks to complement the breathability of the GORE-TEX liner. Always ensure the laces are snug to maintain a secure fit on uneven terrain. For maintenance, remove surface dirt after each hike using a soft-bristled brush. If the shoes become muddy, clean them with lukewarm water and a mild detergent; avoid soaking them in deep water for extended periods. Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or open fires, to prevent the midsole foam from degrading or the materials from warping. Removing the Ortholite sockliner occasionally will help it air out and maintain its anti-microbial effectiveness.
