FAQs

Are these shoes completely waterproof?

Yes, they feature Gore-Tex technology which is a waterproof and breathable membrane designed to keep feet dry in various weather conditions.

Can I use these for trail running?

While designed primarily for hiking, their lightweight construction and agile design make them suitable for faster-paced activities on rugged terrain.

How do I clean my Terrex Skychaser AX5 shoes?

Use a soft brush and water to clean the exterior. Avoid detergents and never put them in the washing machine or tumble dryer.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Skychaser AX5 has a performance fit. If you have wide feet, consider testing them with the socks you plan to use to ensure there is adequate room.

What is the benefit of the quick lacing system?

The system allows for faster entry and exit, as well as easy tension adjustments during your hike without needing to stop and re-tie laces.

Troubleshooting

Foot feels slightly uncomfortable during the first hike

Hiking shoes often require a short break-in period; wear them for short walks before attempting longer, high-intensity expeditions.

Laces feel loose after walking for a while

Ensure the quick lacing toggle is fully engaged and tucked securely into the designated tab to prevent accidental loosening.

Breathability seems reduced after heavy use

Check if the outer fabric is caked with mud or dirt. Cleaning the pores of the material will restore the intended breathability of the Gore-Tex membrane.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing protection via Gore-Tex
  • Highly reliable traction on slippery terrain
  • Comfortable cushioning for long-distance hiking
  • Quick and efficient lacing adjustment

Cons

  • May require a break-in period for maximum comfort
  • Limited to specific colour and size variations
  • Best suited for outdoor use, may feel stiff on paved surfaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best initial experience, ensure you are wearing the correct sock thickness, as hiking socks are generally thicker than standard everyday socks. The quick lacing system should be tightened to provide a snug fit across the midfoot without restricting circulation. To maintain the longevity of your footwear, remove debris such as mud or small rocks immediately after your hike. Clean the exterior with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing, as these can damage the Gore-Tex membrane. Always air-dry your shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the materials to warp or lose their performance properties.
