Full details
The adidas Terrex Trailmaker 2.0 GORE-TEX Mid Hiking Shoes are engineered for hikers who demand a blend of lightweight agility and reliable weather protection. Featuring a GORE-TEX membrane for waterproof performance and a mid-cut silhouette for ankle support, these shoes are ideal for varied trail conditions and unpredictable weather. While they offer excellent comfort for long-distance treks, they are best suited for moderate terrain rather than highly technical mountaineering or steep, rugged alpine scrambling.

FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane designed to keep water out while remaining breathable.
Are they suitable for snow?
They are ideal for light snow and winter hiking, though they are not insulated, so they may not be warm enough for extreme sub-zero temperatures.
Can I use these for trail running?
While they are lightweight, they are designed primarily for hiking and may feel a bit stiff for high-speed trail running.
How should I clean the GORE-TEX membrane?
Clean the exterior with water and a soft brush. Avoid using harsh detergents or brushes that can tear the material.
Do I need to size up?
It is generally recommended to account for the thickness of hiking socks; many hikers prefer a half-size larger than their everyday casual shoes.
What kind of terrain is best for this model?
They are best for mixed terrain, including dirt, mud, gravel, and rocky paths.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe during heavy rain
Ensure the shoe is securely laced and that water is not entering through the top of the collar. If the DWR coating on the exterior fabric has worn off, re-apply a waterproofing spray.
Feelings of discomfort or friction on the heel
Check your lacing technique to ensure the heel is locked into the back of the shoe. Using a proper hiking-specific sock can also reduce friction.
Foot feels too hot during dry weather
While GORE-TEX is breathable, it is a membrane. Ensure you are wearing lightweight, moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool socks to maximize airflow.
Pros and Cons

- Breathable design prevents overheating
- Ankle support provided by mid-cut profile
- Versatile grip suitable for diverse trail surfaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum performance and longevity, break in your shoes gradually by wearing them on shorter walks before attempting long-distance hikes. The shoes are compatible with standard hiking socks; avoid wearing thick cotton socks as they retain moisture.
Care Instructions:
- Remove loose dirt and debris after every hike using a soft brush.
- Clean the exterior with lukewarm water and a mild soap if heavily soiled.
- Remove the sockliner to allow the inside to dry naturally.
- Dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and glues.
- Re-apply a water-repellent spray specifically designed for waterproof footwear if the outer fabric stops beading water.
