FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?

The GORE-TEX membrane provides waterproofing, but these shoes are primarily designed for three-season hiking. For deep snow or extreme cold, insulated and waterproof winter boots are recommended.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Your toes should not touch the front of the shoe when standing. There should be enough room to wiggle your toes, and the heel should feel secure without slipping when walking. Refer to the adidas sizing chart for precise measurements.

Can I machine wash these hiking shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and the GORE-TEX membrane. Hand-wash using a soft brush, damp cloth, and mild soap if necessary.

What is the weight of these shoes?

The shoes weigh approximately 393.5 grams for a UK size 8.5.

What does 'midsole drop' mean?

Midsole drop refers to the height difference between the heel and the forefoot of the shoe. A 10 mm drop (29 mm heel / 19 mm forefoot) is a moderate drop, offering a balance between cushioning and a more natural foot position.

How durable is the Continental Rubber outsole?

Continental Rubber is known for its high durability and excellent grip properties, comparable to high-performance tire rubber, ensuring long-lasting traction.

Are there other color options available?

Yes, the Terrex Trailmaker series is available in various colorways. Please check the product listings for available options.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX

Check for damaged seams or holes. Ensure laces are tightened properly to prevent water ingress from the top. The issue might be sweat if the conditions are very warm and humid, as GORE-TEX breathability has limits.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the Continental Rubber offers excellent grip, extremely slick surfaces can still pose a challenge. Ensure the outsole is clean from mud or debris, as this can impede traction.

Discomfort or blisters

Ensure you have the correct size and consider wearing appropriate hiking socks. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter walks before undertaking long hikes.

Shoes smell after use

Remove insoles and allow shoes to air out completely after each use. Washing with mild soap and water and drying thoroughly can help. Consider using odor-eliminating sprays or powders.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing and breathability thanks to GORE-TEX.
  • Durable construction suitable for challenging trails.
  • Superior grip on various surfaces from Continental Rubber.
  • Comfortable cushioning from the EVA midsole.
  • Made with a significant portion of recycled materials.

Cons

  • Regular fit may require careful sizing consideration.
  • May not offer the same level of ankle support as mid-cut boots.
  • Styling might be specific to outdoor use.
  • Specific weight (393.5 g for size UK 8.5) could be a factor for ultralight hikers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready for use right out of the box. Ensure you select the correct size for a comfortable fit. The lace closure allows for adjustable tightness.

Compatibility: Designed for hiking and trail running. Compatible with standard hiking socks. Not intended for highly technical mountaineering or extreme cold conditions without additional specialized gear.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe down the upper. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap and water solution can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow 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 the GORE-TEX membrane. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
  3. Waterproofing: The GORE-TEX membrane is designed for long-term performance. Periodic reapplication of appropriate waterproofing treatments for textiles and synthetics can help maintain overall water repellency of the shoe's exterior, but is not necessary for the membrane's function.
