FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy-duty mountaineering?
The Terrex Trailmaker 2 GORE-TEX shoes are designed for versatile use on easy trails and rough terrains. For technical mountaineering with significant rock scrambling or ice, more specialized footwear with stiffer soles and enhanced support might be required.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the UK sizing guide provided. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the shoe's internal measurements if available. Trying them on before purchase or consulting customer reviews on fit can also be helpful.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and the GORE-TEX membrane. Hand-wash gently with a damp cloth and mild soap.
What is the midsole drop, and why is it important?
The midsole drop is the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot. This shoe has a 10 mm drop (29 mm heel, 19 mm forefoot), which offers a balanced feel suitable for many hikers. A lower drop is often preferred for a more natural foot position, while a higher drop can provide more cushioning and reduce strain on the Achilles tendon.
How long does the GORE-TEX waterproofing typically last?
The GORE-TEX membrane is highly durable. With proper care, the waterproofing should remain effective for the expected lifespan of the shoe. Avoid damaging the membrane with sharp objects or excessive heat.
Do these shoes contain any recycled materials?
Yes, the Terrex Trailmaker 2 GORE-TEX shoes contain at least 20% recycled content in their construction, aligning with adidas's commitment to sustainability.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX.
Ensure the shoe is properly laced and the tongue is correctly positioned to prevent water ingress. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX membrane or seams. Moisture may also come from sweat, so ensure appropriate socks are worn.
Traction is reduced on slippery surfaces.
Clean the Continental™ rubber outsole of mud and debris, as buildup can reduce grip. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn down. For extremely slick conditions, consider your hiking technique and terrain choice.
Discomfort or rubbing during wear.
Verify the correct shoe size and width. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter walks. Ensure socks are appropriate and free of wrinkles. Adjust lacing for a secure but not overly tight fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct UK size for optimal fit and comfort.
Compatibility: Designed for adult males for hiking and outdoor activities. Compatible with standard hiking socks.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and affect the GORE-TEX membrane.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX membrane is durable, but avoid exposing the shoes to excessive heat or sharp objects that could puncture the material. Re-waterproofing treatments are generally not necessary for the membrane itself but can be applied to the upper materials if needed after significant wear.
