adidas Men's Terrex Ax4 GTX Sneaker

Product Information

Like many footwear companies these days, Adidas is making a shift toward more sustainable production. The brand has pledged to replace virgin polyester with recycled polyester “wherever possible” by 2024—though that’s a fairly vague goal—and to make sure nine out of 10 of their articles contain a sustainable material by 2025. The brand is also experimenting with circular product design in a small line available only to members of their adiclub. What does this all mean for the Terrex AX4 here? Mainly that the upper features at least 50% recycled content. It’s not on par with competitors like Merrell’s Moab 3—which features 100% recycled laces, webbing, and mesh lining—but it’s a start, and we appreciate that. On a positive note, the shoe's toebox offers plenty of toe space as long as you have the right size length-wise. There is a sustainable AX4 variant, and it's called the Adidas Terrex AX4 Primegreen. It comes with an upper made with 50% recycled materials. Complete lab-specs overview 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 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.

We also adore the Terrex AX4's amazing traction. We never slipped an inch in this hiker, and we were able to walk and run on grass without ever slipping. We also established that it provides a perfect grip on slippery conditions, including muddy inclines and mulchy banks. 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. The lower price comes with some durability concerns, including lots of exposed stitching on the upper and a thinner, cheaper insole.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. 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. Thanks to a tried and reliable Gore-Tex textile lining, these hiking shoes are waterproof. Although they only have a flood height of 3 inches, they keep water out of your shoes when crossing shallow creeks and muddy pathways. 3. Traction

High-quality materials are used in Adidas TERREX items to ensure you are ready for any weather. GORE-TEX®, for example, is both waterproof and breathable, making it excellent for long journeys. Polartec Alpha also performs well in terms of moisture control and breathability, ensuring that you keep warm without overheating. This Adidas shoe also does not get as narrow towards the toes as most other hiking shoes do (it remains 15% wider to be exact). 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. The Terrex AX range of entry-level hiking boots by adidas is a must-have preferred choice of shoe for any member of the family. The weather can be unpredictable but your shoe won't be. In addition, the outsole made of Continental rubber ensures a secure grip even in wet conditions. So you can trust that the AX4 will get you to your destination safely. A perfect fit for any trailIn 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. Even for running, whether on trails or on the road, we adored the pair. The shoe's sustainable sibling
