Being prepared for a hike starts with the right footwear — and when you choose to wear the adidas Terrex Skychaser GORE-TEX on the trail, even the toughest conditions can be tackled with confidence. Here’s what sets these hiking shoes apart from the crowd.

Built For Confidence
The adidas Terrex Skychaser Gore-Tex hiking shoes are built for those who want to start their next hike out on the right foot — and they’re prepared for whatever the day has in store. Ripstop uppers with overlays protect toes from trail hazards while keeping you from overheating. The lightweight and agile design minimizes foot fatigue, the waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX membrane seals out wet conditions and a Continental™ Rubber outsole offers superb traction across variable terrain, wet or dry.
Fast, Light and Tough
Unlike traditional hiking boots, hiking shoes are made to be fast and light, and the adidas Terrex Skychaser GORE-TEX takes that to the next level, all without sacrificing durability. Weighing just 15.5 ounces, these hard-working hiking shoes still manage to pack in tons of tech, including the Lightmotion EVA midsole, which gives them a nimble feel while providing support and cushioning on rugged terrain.
Our POV
Whether you’re hiking or traveling, the adidas Terrex Skychaser GORE-TEX will be able to keep up with whatever you throw its way. The GORE-TEX membrane is both breathable and waterproof, so you can stay dry without overheating, and the rugged Continental™ Rubber outsole, Lightmotion EVA midsole and ripstop upper with overlays come together in a lightweight, ready-to-rock package. Now all you need to do is pick your next hike.
