FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Terrex Skychaser is designed with a standard fit. While the materials offer some flexibility, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consider alternatives if you require a wide-fit shoe.
How do I clean the GORE-TEX membrane?
The GORE-TEX membrane is integrated into the shoe lining. Clean the exterior of the shoe as instructed in the care section. The membrane itself is maintenance-free under normal use, but ensure the shoe is properly dried to maintain its breathability.
Can I use these for trail running?
Yes, these shoes blend trail running agility with hiking boot support, making them suitable for faster-paced trail running where extra protection and grip are beneficial.
What is the primary benefit of the Continental™ rubber?
The Continental™ rubber outsole provides exceptional grip across a wide range of conditions, including wet and dry surfaces, ensuring stability and confidence on technical terrain.
How long does the waterproofing last?
The GORE-TEX EPE membrane is designed for long-lasting waterproofness and breathability. Proper care and avoiding damage to the shoe will help maintain its effectiveness over time.
Are these shoes heavy?
No, these shoes are designed to be lightweight, featuring Lightstrike cushioning for agility and speed without compromising on support or protection.
What does 'recycled and renewable materials' mean for the shoe?
It means the shoe incorporates materials that have been reclaimed from existing products or derived from renewable resources, contributing to a reduced environmental footprint.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet inside the shoe
Ensure laces are tied correctly to seal the GORE-TEX membrane. Check for any damage to the membrane or wear on the outsole. If the issue persists after drying, the membrane may be compromised.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Allow for a break-in period of a few wears on shorter walks. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. If discomfort persists, the shoe width may not be suitable for your foot type.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean from mud and debris. The Continental™ rubber provides excellent grip, but heavy contamination can reduce its effectiveness.
Stiffness after getting wet
Proper drying at room temperature is crucial. Avoid direct heat, which can make the materials stiff. Stuffing with newspaper can help maintain shape and absorb moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed for hiking, trail running, and outdoor activities. Not recommended for casual wear on smooth, indoor surfaces due to aggressive tread.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.

- Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX membrane is durable, but avoid exposing the shoes to excessive heat or sharp objects. Re-waterproofing sprays can be used periodically if water absorption is noticed over time, following the product's instructions.
