These hiking shoes had such high hopes for me. I'm big Adidas wearer from trainers to runners and I thought I would give these hiking shoes a go. The design is really refreshing, but the shoe itself is clunky. I wore them around the house for a full day before trail testing them and I wish I hadn't worn them outside. There is padding on the inner part of the ankle that rubbed both of my ankles to the point of bleeding - through wool socks mind you. There were other fit issues like the toe box being narrower than a typical hiking shoe. The other glaring issue is there are only 3 sets of lace holes with no 4th grommet up around the ankle which doesn't work with the bulky tongue and movement in the shoe. I wouldn't buy them again unfortunately, but I will buy other Adidas shoes!

It is for my wife, and she found it is very comfortable, yet light weight and offer good traction on the trail.

I should have read the reviews and notes... I have several other Terrex pairs and the sizing was consistent across models. Not this one, though, definitely runs short. I had to go up 1/2 size from my normal one.
