Adidas Terrex AX4 Trail Shoe Review

Amazon: amzn.to/45SxQgh
The Adidas Terrex AX4 is a trail shoe that came highly recommended to me as a budget friendly hiking shoe fit for rough terrain. I put this shoe through its paces in the Adirondack Mountains in New York and it lived up to the hype. If you’re looking for a shoe to hike in and don’t want to break the bank, be sure to give the Adidas Terrex AX4 a look.

I picked up a pair today and the biggest problem I have with them is that they decided to glue the insoles so you can’t replace them with something better, I may be returning them because of that. I did find that they do run a tad smaller than other brands.

[@Lpph96]

Just bought a pair today in the UK and they were removable. I added another gel insole ontop of that to make them a bit more snug. Maybe they changed it or its just different regionally. Here in the UK, Adidas always come up half a size to a size smaller, but the poster may have been a bit more lucky or had a less weird foot shape than me

The sole is soft and wears out quickly, within 9-12 months. Other than that, great shoe!

[@jtact5487]

Try thru-hiking and burning out a shoe in 3-4 weeks lol😂

[@b16crxt]

I wear anywhere from 11-13 depending on the shoe but most are 12. Had to get these in 13. They do run a bit small. Just got them so I’m hoping I like em!

Great review! I'm thinking of buying this shoe as my very first hiking shoes. Do you recommend this?

[@tkreviews]

This is my very first hiking shoe and for the very limited amount of hiking that I do (2 to 3 hikes/year), they seem perfectly sufficient. When you factor the price in, I think these are pretty great. Many of the other shoes in this category are well over $100. If you hike very frequently you might want to choose something a step or two up from this.

@@tkreviews oh thanks for a quick reply! I don’t think I’ll hike often so I’ll buy this one. Thanks!

[@yubianasfar]

can you use this for snow road?

[@tkreviews]

I haven’t had the opportunity to test these in the snow yet but I will be as soon as we start to get snowfall in New York. I have a feeling they’ll do a great job based on the tread of the shoe.

[@mohamedzuraidi136]

Hi there can I know if the insole has an arch or is it flat?

[@tkreviews]

Feeling around the inside, it has a very slight arch but not as much as other shoes that I own. If you require a significant arch you would likely have to add your own. Hope this helps

[@psimetric8887]

Are really water resistant?

[@samve7926]

no, its not gore-tex version

[@tkreviews]

This version is not. But they do make a gore-tex waterproofed version. I sprayed these with a waterproofing spray which gave them a little bit of water resistance.

[@jtact5487]

The majority of the time, I find it better to have US shoes that dry faster than preventing wetness. Water resistance also means negative in drying

[@xo2308]

Can I trail run in these?

[@tkreviews]

I don’t think these would be the best choice for running. For me they’re a little roomy inside which works well with thick socks but I think they’d have too much movement on your foot for a run.

[@MrCtateo]

I wouldn't run in these. I've had them for over a year, great for walking and hiking, but I wouldn't trust them for running.

[@georgiantraveler8058]

is it water resist ?

[@tkreviews]

This particular pair isn’t. I sprayed them with waterproofing spray to help out. But they do sell a version of this shoe that is waterproof using gore-tex. Definitely worth checking out

[@robertbidochon7949]

better take them a bit too big, because your toes hitting the tip of the shoe while coming down... ***ouch***

[@tkreviews]

Certainly want to avoid that!
