Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
They are suitable for damp, cool conditions due to their waterproof membrane, but they are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended, as mechanical agitation can damage the waterproof membrane and the structural integrity of the shoe.
How does the sizing compare to regular running shoes?
They generally follow standard adidas sizing, but many hikers prefer a half-size up to account for thicker hiking socks.
Is the GORE-TEX membrane permanently waterproof?
The membrane is highly durable, but its effectiveness depends on keeping the outer fabric clean to ensure breathability and preventing physical tears.
Do these shoes provide enough arch support?
The midsole is designed for neutral stability; if you require specific arch support, the insoles are removable and replaceable with custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe despite GORE-TEX membrane
Ensure the water level does not exceed the tongue gusset height and check that the waterproof membrane has not been punctured by sharp objects.
Slippage on wet rock
While the outsole is designed for traction, ensure the rubber is free of mud and debris; clean the grooves thoroughly to restore grip.
Odor buildup after long hikes
Remove the Ortholite insoles and wash them separately with mild detergent; air out the shoes thoroughly between uses.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Terrex Trailmaker 2 shoes last as long as possible, proper care is essential:
- Fit: Ensure you wear the socks you intend to hike with when testing the fit; the shoes should feel snug in the heel and midfoot with enough room in the toe box to prevent blistering.
- Cleaning: After muddy hikes, rinse the outsoles with water. Clean the upper with a soft brush and mild soap; avoid harsh detergents that could damage the GORE-TEX membrane.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally at room temperature. Never place them directly on a heater or use a tumble dryer, as extreme heat can warp the midsole and degrade the waterproof membrane.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup and mold growth.
