Full details
The adidas Terrex Trailmaker 2 Hiking Shoes are designed for adult male hikers seeking reliable footwear for moderate trails. Their key benefit is a waterproof GORE-TEX membrane combined with a grippy Continental™ Rubber outsole, ensuring comfort and traction in varied conditions. A potential consideration is the 10 mm midsole drop, which might feel different for those accustomed to flatter shoes. These shoes feature a regular fit, lace closure, a textile and synthetic upper with abrasion-resistant overlays, and an EVA midsole for cushioning.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
The GORE-TEX membrane provides waterproofing and breathability, making them suitable for cool, wet conditions. However, they are not insulated for extreme cold or deep snow, and are best suited for moderate winter trails.
How do I clean the GORE-TEX membrane?
The GORE-TEX membrane is part of the shoe's construction. Clean the exterior of the shoe as per the care instructions. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners which could damage the membrane.
What is the purpose of the gusseted tongue?
A gusseted tongue is attached to the sides of the shoe, helping to seal the footwear against dirt, debris, and water, thus keeping your feet cleaner and drier.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles can typically be removed and replaced with custom orthotics or different insoles if desired, provided they are of a similar size and shape.
What is the midsole drop?
The midsole drop is 10 mm, meaning there is a 10 mm difference in height between the heel (29 mm) and the forefoot (19 mm). This offers a slight heel-to-toe transition.
Do these shoes contain any recycled materials?
Yes, the shoes contain at least 20% recycled content in their construction.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet after hiking in rain.
Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is intact and free from punctures. Check that laces are fully tightened and the tongue is properly positioned to prevent water ingress. If the issue persists, the waterproof membrane may be compromised.
Slipping on wet surfaces.
Clean the Continental™ Rubber outsole to remove any mud or debris that might be hindering grip. Ensure you are walking within the intended use of moderate trails; extreme conditions may require specialized footwear.
Discomfort or rubbing during wear.
Adjust the lace closure for a more personalized fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Break in the shoes on shorter walks before undertaking longer hikes.
Shoes feel heavy or cumbersome.
Verify you have the correct size. The weight is typical for a hiking shoe with waterproof features. Consider shorter or less demanding trails if comfort is significantly impacted.
