FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The base Terrex Skychaser Ax5 model features a durable ripstop upper but is not explicitly marketed as GORE-TEX waterproof; for full water protection, look for the designated GORE-TEX variants in the series.
How should I clean the ripstop upper?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for deeper cleaning. Do not machine wash.
Does this shoe fit true to size?
The Skychaser Ax5 follows a standard regular fit; it is recommended to buy your normal UK shoe size, though wearing thicker hiking socks may require a half-size adjustment.
Are these suitable for light running?
While they are rugged enough for fast-hiking, they are primarily engineered as hiking shoes and may feel heavier than dedicated trail running trainers.
What is the best way to dry them if they get wet?
Remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture. Let them air dry in a cool, ventilated place away from heat.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during activity
Use a double knot or a secure hiker's knot to prevent the laces from slipping during long treks.
Feel of discomfort after long periods
Ensure the shoes are laced evenly across all eyelets to distribute pressure; consider adjusting the tongue to sit flat against the top of the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Terrex Skychaser Ax5, verify that you are selecting the correct UK size before your first outing. Since these shoes feature a regular fit, consider wearing your preferred hiking socks when testing them for size. After returning from a hike, remove surface dirt with a soft-bristled brush. If the shoes become muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid fully submerging them or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the specialized ripstop overlays. Always air-dry your shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the materials to stiffen.
