Ran a half size more than my usual size. The grip is excellent and that Continental tire branding is not a gimmick I truly feel that grab. It’s just a tad uncomfortable and lacks padding in places that I would prefer. I’m taller and thinner so I have bigskinny feet. Nothing thicker socks can’t handle but there is some slide some blister action behind the heal. Simply best shoes I’ve come across but unfortunately maybe not best for me. (I did get this on sale so review based on ~$100)

At 6'1" and 240 lbs I need support and comfort. I've worn this almost daily for 6 months for hiking and running, I average around 30 miles/week. it's extremely impressive! I was stunned at how breathable it is. I've worn this on hot summer runs and hikes, trekked through shallow streams, weathered heavy rain on muddy trails. The durability and traction it provides have me sold. I've finally worn down some of the tread and am looking forward to getting another pair! One note on the size, I ended up adding a thing insert to take up space. The length was perfect for me at a size 12, but w/out the added insert it wasn't as snug as I like my shoes. Your preference may vary.

I’ve had a pair of Terrex AX4 for about 4 years and they were a awesome. Tried out these free hikers because of all the reviews about how comfortable they are due to the Boost foam. Well these were a fail for me. They gave me blisters and after hiking up to Nevada Fall and Upper Falls in Yosemite the rubber on the heel of one shoe started coming unglued and the plastic ridge in the outsole where the heel is was beat up pretty well. Ended up returning them after my return from Yosemite. No way these shoes could last more than 6 months in rugged terrain. For the price they’re not worth it. Picked up some Terrex Swift R3 instead for an upcoming trip to Big Pine, CA.

I've really enjoyed my time with these shoes so far. I've run in Adidas Ultraboosts in the past, and these fit very similarly. I have somewhat wide feet, and these have plenty of room in the toe box. I also have weak ankles and will roll them on hikes sometimes. The high top style provides good additional support without restricting movement. The one flaw is one that I expected. The Gore Tex is hot. I can feel my feet sweating in mild conditions. Not enough to not wear in fall or spring, but I don't plan on using these in hot summer conditions. With that being said, I knew this going in. I'm looking forward to getting more use in cold and wet conditions come winter.
I am pretty impressed by these boots. The first thing you will notice is how easy these are to put on. For an insulated boot, this is an unusual feature. Simply slide your foot into the inner bootie and zip it right up. The zipper gave me no issues unlike many waterproof zippers. The next thing you will notice is the grip. These shoes have wonderful Continental Winter Grip soles, which really do grip quite nicely (although a bit squeaky right out of the box). I tried them out in the slipperiest place I could think of, a wet basement. The final (and maybe the most important) thing you will notice is that these boots are warm and waterproof. The finish is Gore-Tex, so it sheds water like a rain jacket, while still being able to breathe. I'd definitely recommend these ... MoreI am pretty impressed by these boots.

The Terrex Free Hiker GORE-TEX Hiking shoes are a great shoe for hiking. To test this product, I wore them on four hikes with different trail conditions including dirt trails, stream crossings, rocks, steep slopes, gradual inclines, and flat topography. On the last hike I was carrying a 30 lb pack to test foot comfort under weighted conditions. I tested the shoes on all four hikes wearing REI Co-op brand light to medium weight hiking socks.The first hike was on a portion of the Antonovich trail in eastern Los Angeles county and consisted of a dirt riparian trail that had gentle slopes but included frequent rocky stream crossings varying from 1-6 inches in depth. The boots handles the crossings well allowing me to traverse both clean dry rocks as well as wet algae ... MoreThe Terrex Free Hiker GORE-TEX Hiking shoes are a great shoe for hiking.

The boots handles the crossings well allowing me to traverse both clean dry rocks as well as wet algae covered rocks without slipping. When I tested them by stepping directly into the stream the boots repelled the water from penetrating into the boot even when I submerged the boot to the laces. While underwater my toes inside the shoe did feel colder but did not feel wet.The second hike was in the foothills of San Dimes Canyon Park which consisted of a short 1 mile loop up a few rolling hills on dirt trails followed by walking through a park consisting of numerous live oak trees and grassy conditions with my dog. The shoes were conformable during the whole experience even when my dog tried to twist, pull, and run me over live oak tree roots chasing after grey squirrels and ground squirrels guarding their burrows in the park.The third hike was on a continuously ascending rocky trail up the foothills along the Etiwanda waterfall trail in San Bernardino. Once again the shoe preformed quite well even over extremely rocky conditions and the only noticeable limitation is my feet felt warm after the hike. However my feet were not warm enough to make me want to change shoes before driving home so I stayed in these shoes both for the hike and to drive.The fourth hike was in the foothills of the Los Angeles National Forest. For this hike I tested the shoes while carrying a 30 lb pack. There was no noticeable change in comfort hiking with the pack compared to hiking without one other then my feet were marginally warmer and sweated.I would recommend this shoe to my friends! I liked the foot support and comfort it provided. My foot fit very well in the size 10 shoe. I liked that the shoe was able to resist water while traversing streams and could handle both rocky terrain and dirt trails quite well. The only limitations to the shoe although very minor are the following, initially sliding your foot into the shoe is challenging with the material used at the top of the shoe, your foot will feel warm after walks, and I had the black colored shoes that became dirty really quickly as seen in the attached photos. Possible recommendations to alleviate these problems would be to offer tan or brown colored shoes to mask the dirt, add more elastic where you put your foot into the shoe, and experimenting with increased breath-ability to reduce foot warming during hikes. I was not able to test these shoes under cold conditions.
It was the bright blue, red, and sea foam green colorways that caught my eye, and which complement many outfits in my wardrobe. They get compliments as if they were some limited edition high-top sneakers when I wear them out dancing, but on the trails and walking on snow in winter, they're by far the most comfortable hiking boots I've owned - compared to a bunch of more expensive, leather and suede boots made by Italian mountaineering brands even! Whereas many boots I've owned trap in the cold - my feet have circulation problems and are often cold from within - these Adidas hiking kicks do a great job of warming my feet and toes without ever feeling constricting.My only wish is that they could be completely stain-proof, to keep looking fly even after having been ... MoreIt was the bright blue, red, and sea foam green colorways that caught my eye, and which complement many outfits in my wardrobe.

Also, I got lucky with the size fitting me well. How is it that these 11s fit me just as well as some older Adidas trail-running shoes that are size 9.5?
I have heel issues and am constantly on the look for comfy shoes. I had been aware of these particular shoes for a while, but they had always been just too expensive for me. Then they came on sale at Very and I had a money off code so I too the plunge.I'm so glad I did, they are fabulous, straight out of the box they are so comfortable. They hug your foot with their lovely padded sides and are great underfoot. I swapped out the insole for a cheap memory foam insole and I sink deep into the heel with every step, pain free.While they hug you foot, the toebox is really big and roomy, I could probably wear them without laces. With my foot issues, I never wear a pair of shoes 2 days in a row, I wore these for 4 days in a row and had zero issues, I will probably live ... MoreI have heel issues and am constantly on the look for comfy shoes.

1st time I put them on I discovered I had an ankle bone that sticks out. These are tight, stretchy and take getting used to. Absolutely water proof even in boggy terrain, I solved my problem by putting a pad over the bone. By yjr third walk they felt just right. They look good, feel good and are worth the price. Its a cold spring now, will have to see what they are like in hotter weather.
I've been hiking with these several times a week as I train for the 500-mile Colorado Trail this summer. Most of my training hikes are 8-12 miles in length on very rugged limestone trails in mountainous terrain.These will definitely be the boots I'll be wearing on the trail. My true foot size is 12.5 and I purchased the same sized boot. I typically wear a liner sock plus a light to medium weight wool sock and the boots fit perfectly. The lacing system provides the ability to loosen or tighten the boot wherever needed for a perfect fit. I have not experienced any blisters whatsoever from day one. The uppers fit like a sock to prevent dust and small rocks from getting into the boot. These are the only hiking boots I've every worn which do not require special inserts ... MoreI've been hiking with these several times a week as I train for the 500-mile Colorado Trail this summer.

The uppers fit like a sock to prevent dust and small rocks from getting into the boot. These are the only hiking boots I've every worn which do not require special inserts or a foot wrap to prevent plantar fasciitis (which I'm prone to). The "Boost' technology in the sole has been great in this regard. After three months of usage the treads and uppers are holding up extremely well on the punishing limestone trails. Limestone is very sharp and can tear lower-quality boots to shreds. The ankle support on the boots is extremely supportive and has prevented my front twisting my ankle several times on rocky and uneven trails. The treads on the boots grip to various types of rock including limestone, sandstone and granite likes glue in both dry and wet conditions. In light of all this these boots are highly recommended!
