adidas Men's Terrex Ax4 GTX Sneaker

Product Information

In its widest part, the shoe's forefoot is 102.1 mm. This is 3.2 mm wider than the average 98.9 mm among hiking shoes. Re-engineered heel brake. The Terrex AX4's heel brake has been redesigned and provides virtually the same level of skid resistance on loose terrain but with better mud-shedding capabilities. The unique mesh and synthetic materials of the TERREX shoe range contribute to a comfortable foot environment. Perspiration is routed away, to ensure a dry and comfortable shoe even after hours of jogging. Both adiPRENE® and TORSION® provide extra heel or midfoot stability, for traction on all types of surfaces. Even after many hours of exertion, the EVA midsole softly cushions every step. Final verdict

We thought that the insole was the evidence of cost-cutting in the shoe. But the good news is that it is removable and you can easily replace it with any other insole of your choice. We discovered that the fourth iteration in the Terrex AX series comes with improvements over to its predecessor, the Terrex AX3. Here is what has changed:

Adidas’ entry-level hiker offers excellent grip, support, and durability for the price

On a positive note, the shoe's toebox offers plenty of toe space as long as you have the right size length-wise.

Even for running, whether on trails or on the road, we adored the pair. The shoe's sustainable sibling Adidas markets these shoes as offering a “lightweight trail running feel with the stability of a hiking shoe ”. We wanted them to feel as light as a feather, but unfortunately, they’re a touch heavier duty than anticipated. Adidas indeed uses a very thin insole for the Terrex AX4. It is only 2.6 mm in the heel as opposed to the average of 5.3 mm. The shoe's rubber compound is also slightly softer than average, which subtracts from the shoe's abrasion resistance as well. The standard for pliability meets rigidity has been set. The AVA midsole adds support and stability through your foot so your foot still feels adequately encased without the fear of dodgy rolled ankles.

The Terrex AX4 is surprisingly comfortable for the price, combining reasonable cushion, firmness, and flexibility with a reliable lacing system. Many commented on the size, recommending fellow buyers consider a half or full-size up. One user commented, “these shoes would be suitable for climbing a mountain,” and praised their “rugged toughness”, while another loved the sturdy base. You need only glance at particular models of hiking shoes to know it’s going to be a painful few months breaking them in, but that’s not the case with the Adidas Terrex AX4 GORE-TEX hiking shoes; they’re comfortable from the get-go. For long-distance strolls and whole-day travels and hikes, we couldn't be more satisfied. Terrex AX4 has a sufficient amount of cushioning for long hours on the trail.
