FAQs
What does 'RAIN.RDY' mean?
RAIN.RDY is adidas's technology that provides water-repellent protection, helping to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.
Is there a specific reason to buy one size bigger?
The product recommendation to 'Buy 1 Size Bigger' suggests that the sizing may run slightly smaller than usual, or it accounts for wearing thicker hiking socks. It's advisable to follow this recommendation or try them on to ensure a comfortable fit.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
These shoes are designed for hiking, offering features like durable uppers, cushioning, and grip suitable for trails. While they can handle varied terrain, they are not specifically engineered for the demands of trail running, which often requires lighter, more responsive footwear.
How much recycled content is in the shoe?
The upper of the shoe contains a minimum of 50% recycled content, contributing to adidas's commitment to reducing environmental impact.
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
The shoes offer water-repellent properties, which are beneficial in wet winter conditions. However, they are not insulated for extreme cold. For very cold temperatures, consider adding thermal socks or looking for footwear with dedicated insulation.
What is the best way to clean the shoes?
Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry naturally. Avoid machine washing or using direct heat.
What type of terrain is the Traxion outsole best for?
The Traxion outsole is designed for maximum grip on a wide variety of surfaces, including uneven, rocky, and potentially slippery trails, both wet and dry.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
The product advises buying one size larger. If you have not done so, consider exchanging for a larger size. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.
Feet get wet during use.
While RAIN.RDY is water-repellent, prolonged submersion or heavy downpours can eventually allow water ingress. Ensure all closures are secure and check for any visible damage to the upper or seams. Reapply water-repellent treatment if necessary.
Traction is poor on slippery surfaces.
Clean the Traxion outsole to remove any mud or debris that might be hindering grip. Ensure you are walking on appropriate terrain for the shoe's design. For extreme conditions, consider specialized footwear.
Material appears worn or damaged.
Inspect the abrasion-resistant mesh and synthetic overlays. Minor scuffs are normal with use. For significant damage, it may indicate the shoe has reached the end of its lifespan or has been subjected to excessive wear.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- 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 affect the shoe's shape and water-repellent properties.
