adidasMen's Terrex Swift Sneaker

Perfect trail shoe. Perfect for light snow as well. I wear these to ski resorts and to shovel the drive. I wear them to the gym as well. These are my fourth pair of the Gore Terrex. I still like them best.There are other brands of Gore trail runners out there, and I own some. These have the best soles with more grip in the wet and longest wear. Adidas wins again.

Bought these and purposely did NOT break them in prior to a 20-mile Sawtooths (Idaho) hike. Report:After three days on the trail, I'm sold on non-boots. These were solid, wear well, and provide a fantastic foundation for hiking across rocky, sandy, and wet terrain. Our route had muddy crossings, creeks, and drier high-elevation scree and rock crossings. No water in. Breathable and no "swamp foot" even on the hottest, driest miles. The Terrex delivered comfort, confidence, and I had zero hot spots. The footbox is great even for my EE width feet. My feet were not constrained but cradled. I'd been looking at these for a while and when the deal hit, I bought them. They will replace my La Sportiva hiking shoes and Merrell boots going forward. Looking forward to seeing how the Continental rubber outsoles wear--but after 20 miles, wear is zero.

As you can see from the photos, I put these shoes to the test through mud and dirt and water. The good news is that they do exactly what they are supposed to do. They are rugged, COMPLETELY WATERPROOF, and I have no concerns at all about walking through any kind of mushy terrain in the early springtime when the ground is soft and muddy. I bought these specifically because of the waterproof aspect of them. They look great, although on the website the color was a little more of a golden-ish brown, and these were almost completely army green. Keep that in mind if this color attracts you.I have a few criticisms of these shoes. My number one criticism is the fit. This is hard to describe accurately and fairly because they are, sort of, comfortable - once you break them in. However, after an extended period of time, I get to the point to where I am ready to get them off.For me, the toe box is just a little too narrow. Because of the stiffness of these shoes, there is absolutely no give in them at all, so I do find that after walking around in them for multiple hours, I am ready to take them off. In addition to the stiff toe box, the heel is a MAJOR gripe of mine. The heel of the shoe does not capture the heel of my foot AT ALL. Each step I take, my heel is pulling up out of the bottom of the shoe, so imagine taking 10,000 steps in these... that's a lot of skin irritation and potential blisters. When I wear these shoes for a long time, I make sure to prep by putting a large bandaid on both heels to dampen that friction. I read other peoples' reviews before I purchased these and this was a common gripe of other people, so it is very real with the design of these shoes.The general construction of these shoes is that they are VERY tough and stiff, but they are meant to be that way because of their intended use. With that being said, there is hardly any give in these shoes at all, so it is easy to get sore feet in them if you wear them for long periods of time.Overall I think these are a killer design of a shoe, and they do their job well. Just be aware that there is absolutely a need for a break-in period with these shoes. Don't expect to put them on and wear them all day right out of the box. You will definitely have to plan out shorter sessions in them at first until you have them broken in, and even after that they are pretty stiff.In conclusion, I am happy with these shoes, but they do leave room for improvement in a few fit aspects. If they release a future version and improve upon some of those gripes, they would for sure have a five-star shoe.

Me gustó un poco estrechos en la punta pero muy buen calzado

So far, I’m very happy with the shoes. They seem to be of good quality, and I’m confident they will hold up well.

Bought these shoes just over a year ago. Loved the look, loved the waterproofing, and thought they'd be great for taking my dog out 3-times-a-day for potty breaks and for 30 minute walks, especially in bad weather. Only worn on my lawn and on pavement. They were not used heavily or off-road.At first try-on, fit was unusual. These shoes felt narrower and more snug than others in my size,different, but not uncomfortable. I debated returning them because I thought they might be too small, but then I read a description of the shoe on Adidas' website where it indicated they are intentionally designed to hug and curve around the foot so your feet don't slide around the shoe while hiking.... and they do their job. So I kept them.I wish I had returned them.After about 5 months, the rubberized component over the toes began pulling away from the upper and the sole began pulling away from the bottom of the shoe, just from occasionally use. Now they've begun began leaking water. Not very useful for taking the dog out in bad weather.These shoes were way too expensive to be experiencing such problems in less than a year. I would never repurchase these shoes again AND I would think twice about buying Adidas shoes, because these really disappointed me.When these shoes were good, they were really good. But leaky waterproof shoes that come apart aren't useful in any capacity.One star...

I was hesitating when buying new hiking shoes because they’re expensive so I did a ton of research. I bought these because people seemed to like the performance on wet rocks and those reviews were helpful! I hiked a volcano in the rainforest in Costa Rica and these not only did they perform they kept my feet dry up until the very end of the hike which was about 4 hours. I’m the pouring rain and In comparison to the other people I was hiking with, mine outlasted theirs! Slippery rock? Doesn’t exist in these shoes . Had to break them in a little bit where your foot creases the shoe but other than that, these beat my Merrill’s by a landslide in comfort. I hiked 16 hours in Merrill’s and they were so rough I couldn’t move the next day but these adidas did the same hike with little to no soreness and I felt like I could have kept hiking!! These top brand hiking shoes out there, I can’t speak for all of them but I can promise these are a safe purchase and you’ll be satisfied 110%. I’ve had 2 friends buy them because of how much of a difference they are .
