adidasMen's Terrex Free Hiker 2.0 Hiking Shoe

These are perfect for your everyday hikes, occasional multiday trips, or really anything you’d need a litttle extra rigidity for.Pros•Comfort: feels like an extension of my foot. Because of the sock-like design it really hugs your ankle. If you’re not used to this design just imagine you feel taller and your feet are longer/wider. If you want to replace the insole I would go half a size up.•Durability: The Continental sole holds up to abuse and tackles muddy/rocky terrain well. I got them super wet, covered in dirt/mud, and didn’t have any issues with snagging or tearing.•Design: Just looks great. I wore them at the airport and got a few compliments. I think they’ll shine most design wise for your day hikes (and date hikes) because you can easily wear them both on/off trail and style them well with whatever you wear.Cons•Cleaning: They are a pain to clean if you get a lighter color. The sole cleans easily, however, everything else is stained. It doesn’t bother me, but if it’ll bother you I’d recommend a more natural or darker color.•Water Resistance: It’s not designed to be waterproof so that isn’t an issue. They just dry weird because the only escape for moisture from the inside of the shoe is the smaller foot insert. If you’re on a multiday trip just leaving them next to the fire won’t dry them the way they would other shoes. Remove the insoles and rotate the shoe around the heat. Really try to funnel heat into the shoe if you can. I just couldn’t get them dry enough before bringing them in the tent for the night and had to continue drying them the next morning by the fire. Again, they’re not designed to be waterproof. The inside just don’t dry as easily as other brands.

I have two pair of the Adidas Free hiker 2.0’s. One is the standard pair, the other is the waterproof goretex. For use in the summertime I prefer the standard pair because they are more breathable, but they aren’t moisture proof. If you plan on hiking trails with small water crossings or early mornings with dew on the ground, the waterproof pair is for you. I’ve had the waterproof pair for over a year and a half and they still keep my feet dry in standing water. I’ve also used them in snow and they performed well for not being a dedicated snow boot. They run true to size, but the standard pair is a sock like fit and feel snug on your feet. Overall I’d recommend these to anyone who wants a comfortable boot that feels like wearing sneakers.

You won't find anything else quite like these shoes. Firm yet cushy; supportive and rigid yet flexible; a built-in sock that manages to stay clean. For me, this shoe is a home run.Do some homework before you buy. For starters, the pricing is all over the place. You can pay anywhere between $80 and $200 for the exact same shoe. Amazon alone has several listings all over the pricing map.Also, these are great hiking shoes, but some of the color combinations are way too out-there if you're a nature photographer like me. The ones with the seemingly innocuous gray tops glow like the sun in daylight. The black-dominant ones are best for nature.The fit and finish are both superb. This is a high-quality shoe. It's well-assembled and tough. Good-looking, too.Walking feels very natural. The shoe has a slight incline that propels the walker but stays balanced for hiking uneven terrain. The cushioning is excellent from heel to toe. Ankle support is surprisingly good for a shoe that's not quite a boot. The integrated sock fits tight and is further supported by a hard collar below.Several posters complain about how difficult the shoe is to put on, with the tight sock and all. Someone said it took several minutes. Yes, the first few times it's like putting on a ski boot, not a lot of fun. I timed my first try at 15 seconds, which is an eternity compared with the 2-3 seconds for a normal mid-rise boot. I've gotten it down to 5-7 seconds as the shoe has broken in a bit, no big deal.Adidas makes a waterproof version, but this ain't it. However, they manage light rain quite well, and mud cleans off easily. Adidas also has a YouTube video that gives you tips for easy cleaning.Bottom line is that these sturdy, comfy, lightweight boots are my favorite nature photography shoes ever. Thumbs up!

Excelente producto.

Durable and comfortable

Very comfortable. I bought these for the trails originally but ended up wearing them for work everyday. In soul feels amazing.

Altamente recomendado, el diseño tiene buen aspecto, aunque por un precio más alto podría tener un modelo más bonito de la misma marca, pero si lo recomiendo

Nice pair of "hikers"
