adidas Terrex Skychaser XT GORE-TEX Walking Shoes

Alpine hike or rugged terrain, these shoes are designed for moving fast. Theses agile, low-cut trail shoes feature a responsive Boost midsole for endless energy with every step. The durable upper and stabilising build offer support and abrasion resistance to handle uneven ground.

GORE-TEX Upper

Constructed using an abrasion-resistant mesh, the Terrex Skychaser XT Walking Shoes ensure ample breathability and top abrasion resistance. The mesh allows air to fully permeate throughout the shoe, providing a constant supply of fresh, cool air whilst simultaneously pushing out hot, muggy air. Supplying flexible support, the mesh works to increase ventilation and eradicate 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 clock up the miles in extreme comfort. Abrasion-resistant weldings protect your shoes and feet from loose debris so you can run without worry. To avoid damp feet, and therefore dampened spirits, a GORE-TEX membrane resides inside the shoe; supplying a combination of durable waterproofing and optimised breathability. Sometimes it's hard to stay dry without developing that distracting clammy feeling, but GORE-TEX keeps water on the outside while letting perspiration escape from the inside; keeping sweat to a minimum and you, cool and comfy. Completing the upper is a speed lacing system which allows for quick and easy adjustments to ensure a locked-down fit at all times.

Boost Midsole

adidas take 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 sprint down onto hard, unforgiving concrete. 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. Completing the midsole is an EVA stabilisation frame which increases later stability to you can enjoy added mid-foot support with every stride.

Continental Rubber Outsole

The Terrex Skychaser XT features a Rubber outsole from Continental. Their decades of experience with tyres has allowed Continental to develop an elite rubber outsole that allows you to reach unprecedented levels of both speed and safety, whether you are on flats, uphill, or downhill. The winter compounds created by Continental are used on their award-winning tyres, so you can rely on this outsole for outstanding traction and control. An adidas Continental sole gives you 30% more grip on dry and wet surfaces; as you run you can feel this incredible technology working and keeping you safe, whether you are on mud, grass, stone, snow or ice. Lastly, outsole cutouts have been used to reduce the overall weight of the shoe and to provide multi-directional grip.
