FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy trekking or mountaineering?
The Terrex Trailmaker 2 Hiking Shoes are primarily designed for light to moderate hiking and trail walking. For heavy trekking or mountaineering with significant load-bearing, consider models with more robust ankle support and stiffer soles.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. Your heel should feel secure and not lift excessively when walking. Trying them on with the type of socks you typically hike in is recommended.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and the GORE-TEX membrane. Hand wash using a soft brush, mild soap, and water as per the care instructions.
What is the benefit of the gusseted tongue?
A gusseted tongue is attached to the sides of the shoe, creating a barrier that helps prevent water, mud, and small debris from entering the shoe, enhancing overall comfort and protection.
How long does the GORE-TEX waterproofing typically last?
The GORE-TEX membrane is highly durable. With proper care and cleaning, the waterproof and breathable properties can last for the functional lifetime of the shoe. Regular cleaning is key to maintaining performance.
Do these shoes contain recycled materials?
Yes, the shoes contain at least 20% recycled content in their construction, reflecting a commitment to sustainability.
Troubleshooting
Feet feeling wet despite GORE-TEX
Check for obvious tears in the fabric or membrane. Ensure laces are tied securely and the tongue is properly seated to prevent water ingress from the top. The shoe may have been submerged in deep water beyond the membrane's protection level.
Slipping on certain surfaces
Ensure the Continental Rubber outsole is clean from mud or debris. For extremely slick surfaces, caution should still be exercised as no outsole guarantees slip-proof performance in all conditions.
Discomfort or rubbing
Verify the shoe size and width are correct. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter walks. Ensure socks are appropriate for hiking and fit well without bunching.
Reduced breathability over time
Clean the exterior and interior of the shoe. Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is not clogged with dirt. Follow care instructions to maintain membrane function.
