FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature Gore-Tex technology, which is designed to be waterproof while allowing sweat vapor to escape.
Can I use these for daily walking?
While designed for technical trails, they can be used for everyday wear, though the stiff sole may feel different than a dedicated road-running shoe.
How should I clean the Gore-Tex membrane?
Use warm water and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh detergents that can degrade the membrane's breathability.
Do these shoes come in half sizes?
Yes, the Terrex Skychaser range includes various UK sizing options; please check the specific availability for your preferred model.
What kind of terrain are these best for?
They are ideal for rugged, uneven hiking trails, mountain paths, and wet or muddy conditions.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe
Ensure the laces are tied properly and verify that the upper material has not been punctured by sharp rocks or thorns.
Foot discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you are using appropriate moisture-wicking hiking socks and verify that the shoe size allows for slight foot expansion during long hikes.
Reduced grip on trails
Check the outsole for caked-on mud or debris. Use a stiff brush to clear the tread patterns to restore maximum friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Terrex Skychaser shoes, proper care is essential:
- Cleaning: After muddy hikes, remove surface debris with a soft-bristled brush. Wipe down with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: If the water repellency starts to fade, consider using a recommended outdoor footwear DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for Gore-Tex membranes.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry area to prevent moisture buildup and potential odor issues.
