adidas Terrex AX4R Hiking Shoes - Black - 2 UK

The adiFIT® tool is printed on the sockliner and helps ensure you achieve an accurate and comfortable fit by allowing you to check if the shoe length matches your foot length.

These shoes are designed for hiking and outdoor activities and feature a textile upper with synthetic overlays. They are not explicitly waterproof, but the materials offer some resistance to moisture. For fully waterproof needs, consider a Gore-Tex or similar variant.

These shoes contain at least 20% recycled content, contributing to adidas' commitment to sustainability.

The stack height is 20 mm at the heel and 12 mm at the forefoot, resulting in a midsole drop of 8 mm.

While they offer good traction, they are primarily designed as hiking shoes. For trail running, shoes with more specific features for that sport might be more suitable.

Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt, then clean with a damp cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh detergents and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

Adjust the lacing system. For a more precise fit, use the adiFIT® measuring tool to ensure you have the correct size and lace accordingly.

Ensure the Traxion outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. The grip is optimized for intended use; for extremely slippery conditions, consider specialized footwear.

Ensure socks are appropriate for hiking. If discomfort persists, the shoe may not be the right fit for your foot type or the specific activity. Check if the midsole cushioning has compressed over time.
