Product Information
Full details
The adidas Terrex Skychaser AX5 Gore-TEX is designed for male hikers who require a blend of agility and stability on rugged terrain. These shoes feature a responsive LIGHTMOTION EVA midsole and a high-traction Continental rubber outsole, making them ideal for long days on the trail. While they offer excellent durability thanks to their ripstop upper, users should note that the regular fit design may feel snug for those with wider feet, necessitating a proper break-in period.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
Yes, this model features Gore-TEX technology, which provides a breathable, waterproof barrier against the elements.
How much do the shoes weigh?
The Terrex Skychaser AX5 weighs approximately 440 grams in a standard UK size 8.5.
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
While primarily designed for hiking, their lightweight construction and responsive cushioning make them capable of handling fast-paced trail movement.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the OrthoLite sockliners are removable, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics if preferred.
How should I clean the Gore-TEX membrane?
Use warm water and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh detergents that can strip away the water-repellent finish.
What is the heel height of the shoe?
The heel height is 32 mm, paired with a 22 mm forefoot for a 10 mm total drop.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Adjust the lace tension by skipping the eyelet where the pressure occurs to allow more room.
Slippage inside the shoe
Ensure the laces are snug and consider using a 'runner's loop' at the top eyelet to secure the heel.
Accumulation of dirt in the tread
Use a soft-bristled brush to clear debris from the Continental outsole lugs after every hike to maintain maximum traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Terrex Skychaser AX5 shoes, always use a lace-up fit that feels secure but allows for natural foot expansion during activity. After trekking, remove the OrthoLite sockliner to allow the interior to air dry completely if exposed to moisture. To clean, wipe down the ripstop upper with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid machine washing or direct heat sources like radiators, as these can degrade the adhesive bonds of the outsole and the structural integrity of the upper fabric.
