FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a specialized breathable waterproof membrane designed to seal out external moisture effectively.
Are the Terrex Skychaser AX5 shoes true to size?
Yes, these shoes generally fit true to standard adult UK sizing; however, if you plan to wear thick winter socks, consider if you prefer extra room.
Can I use these for trail running?
Yes, the agile, lightweight design and high-traction outsole make them a versatile choice for fast-hiking and light trail running.
How do I maintain the waterproof membrane?
Keep the shoes clean of mud and debris. If the exterior becomes heavily soiled, gently rinse with water, but avoid harsh chemicals that could strip the protective coating.
Are they suitable for snowy conditions?
They provide good protection, but they are not insulated winter boots. They are best suited for rain, mud, and temperate trail conditions.
Troubleshooting
Moisture buildup inside the shoe
Ensure you are using moisture-wicking socks and check that the waterproof membrane isn't blocked by excessive dirt on the exterior.
Slippage on very loose gravel
While the outsole is designed for grip, ensure your laces are tightened securely to keep your foot locked in place, preventing lateral movement.
Foot discomfort during long hikes
Verify that your sock thickness is appropriate and consider adjusting the lacing pattern to provide more room for foot expansion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Terrex Skychaser AX5, begin by wearing them for short walks on flat surfaces to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape before attempting longer, high-intensity hikes. These shoes are compatible with standard hiking socks; for best results, pair them with moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool socks to maximize the effectiveness of the breathable membrane.
Care Instructions:
- After a hike, remove loose dirt using a soft-bristled brush.
- Clean the surface with a damp cloth and mild, soap-free detergent if necessary.
- Remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a cool, ventilated area away from direct heat sources.
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as extreme heat can compromise the waterproof membrane and adhesive integrity.
