adidas Terrex Free Hiker 2 GORE-TEX Walking Boots
Hike further. Explore more. Enjoy the view. From thru-hikes to weekend explorations, these lightweight walking boots offer next-level comfort and support to extend your range in the mountains. A BOOST midsole brings energy to every step to keep you moving on hikes long and short. A GORE-TEX membrane seals out wet conditions while letting your feet breathe as they warm up.
Woven Ripstop Upper with GORE-TEX Membrane
The upper of the adidas Terrex Free Hiker has been constructed using a waterproof GORE-TEX membrane to keep your feet dry and protected as you take on the trail. GORE-TEX works tirelessly to shed water, whilst retaining breathable properties to improve comfort and airflow. Assisting the GORE-TEX membrane is a ripstop material, encasing each foot in breathable comfort. Supplying flexible support, the ripstop upper increases ventilation and eradicates the build-up of sweat which is unavoidable during exercise. Sweat and moisture are wicked away from the feet leaving you feeling fresh and ready to push along the trails in extreme comfort. Abrasion-resistant reinforcements adorn the upper and provide you with protection from bumps and knocks, and a traditional lacing closure ensures your feet are locked in and secure to the boots, preventing in-boot slipping and helping you remain comfortable on every adventure. A gusseted tongue prevents stones and debris from getting in the boot. Lastly, the upper of these boots are made with a high-performing recycled material that contains at least 50% recycled contents.
BOOST Midsole
Developed to provide lightweight cushioning, the midsole of the Terrex Free Hiker 2 has been constructed using adidas' signature BOOST cushioning. adidas takes cushioning to new heights, with their ultra-responsive midsole - BOOST. Tiny TPU capsules are moulded together to form a platform that is different to standard, solid foams; absorbing energy and then expelling it back out for a bounce-like effect. This energy return technology reduces the use of superfluous muscle power, diminishing fatigue and enhancing performance; keeping you going for longer. The plush, responsive cushioning will spare your joints as you power down onto hard, unforgiving surfaces. BOOST also manages to maintain its special function and bounce in conditions as low as -20 degrees, making it a reliable, durable and hard-to-beat midsole. Additionally, an EVA stabilisation frame further ensures stability and midfoot support, so you can tackle rough terrain, whilst feeling energised with every step.
Continental Rubber Outsole
The Continental Rubber compound offers maximum traction on a variety of different surfaces. The highly durable compound allows you to grip the ground in both wet and dry conditions to reduce the chance of slipping. Delivering optimal traction on varied surfaces, the Continental outsole uses the ideal combination of specialised rubbers and design. A strong lug pattern works equally well on both hard and smooth or soft and loose surfaces to ensure optimum, multi-surface grip.
