Adidas Terrex Trailmaker GTX review

Who should buy the Adidas Terrex Trailmaker GTX

This lightweight day hiking shoe is ideal for people who want to hike faster on the trail. Recommended if:

• The trail has some wet areas, which could definitely use waterproof footwear.
• A low-cut shoe is needed, bringing a range of movements, especially during speed hiking.

Rockered heel and forefoot

Speaking of momentum, the shoe’s rockered construction will let you speed your way across level terrain with glide-like, energy-efficient strides.

Rearfoot counter + stability frame

These two components in concert provide enhanced footing on rocky paths by keeping the heel centered and the rest of the foot as flat on the ground as possible.

Deep ankle pockets

Sometimes getting to your destination requires more than just forward momentum. Sometimes you need to make ankle-dependent moves (like shimmying sideways) to safely and efficiently negotiate tricky trails. With the Terrex Trailmaker GTX’s highly curved collar, you can do such and more.
