- Is the Terrex Skychaser AX5 Mid GTX truly waterproof?
- Yes. It has a GORE-TEX membrane and a waterproof ripstop upper, so rain and puddles stay out. Water can still enter over the ankle collar in deep water.
- How does it compare with the Salomon X Ultra Mid GTX?
- Both are light waterproof mid shoes with strong grip. The adidas is a bit firmer underfoot and narrower; the Salomon has softer cushioning and a wider fit.
- Is it good for long backpacking trips?
- It works for day hikes and light overnight packs. The thin cushioning and modest ankle support make it less suited to heavy loads over many days.
- Does it fit true to size?
- Most buyers take their normal size, but the fit runs narrow. Try a half size up if you have wide feet or wear thick socks.
- What is the heel-to-toe drop?
- The heel sits at 32 mm, which is a moderate drop for a hiking shoe. It suits most hikers without feeling flat or steeply tilted.
- Can I use it for trail running?
- Yes. Its light weight and grippy outsole suit fast trail running, though the mid-cut collar is more restrictive than a low running shoe.
