FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The adidas Terrex Trailmaker 2 features a regular fit. While many find this comfortable, individuals with noticeably wide feet may want to try them on first or consider alternative models designed for wider fits.
How do I clean the GORE-TEX membrane?
Clean the exterior of the shoe with a soft brush and lukewarm water. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and a damp cloth. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry. Avoid machine washing or high heat.
What is the main benefit of the Continental Rubber outsole?
The Continental Rubber outsole provides superior grip and durability, similar to the rubber used in high-performance tires. This ensures excellent traction on a variety of surfaces, both wet and dry.
Can these shoes be used in very cold weather?
The GORE-TEX membrane offers waterproofing and some insulation, but these shoes are primarily designed for three-season hiking. For extreme cold or snow, insulated winter boots would be more appropriate.
What does the 'midsole drop' refer to?
The midsole drop is the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot of the shoe. A 10 mm drop (29 mm heel / 19 mm forefoot) indicates a moderate drop, promoting a balanced feel and natural foot movement.
How much recycled content is in these shoes?
These shoes contain at least 20% recycled content, contributing to adidas's commitment to reducing environmental impact.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX
Ensure laces are securely tied to prevent water ingress from the top. Check for any tears or damage to the GORE-TEX membrane. Clean the shoe as per care instructions; dirt can sometimes impede breathability.
Traction feels reduced on certain surfaces
Clean the Continental Rubber outsole of mud and debris. Inspect the tread for excessive wear. Consider the surface conditions; while excellent, no outsole is invincible on extremely slick or icy terrain.
Shoes feel slightly tight
The regular fit may require breaking in. Wear them for shorter periods initially. Ensure you are using appropriate hiking socks. If tightness persists and is uncomfortable, consider trying a half-size larger or a wider fit model if available.
Discomfort after long hikes
Ensure laces are correctly tensioned – not too tight, not too loose. The EVA midsole provides cushioning, but individual comfort varies. Consider if your hiking duration or intensity exceeds the shoe's intended use for day hikes.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For tougher dirt, wipe the shoes with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: To maintain GORE-TEX performance, occasionally clean the shoe's exterior. Refer to specific GORE-TEX care guidelines for best results over time.
