Customer Reviews adidas Outdoor Terrex Free Hiker COLD.RDY Hiking Boots

Zipper blew out right before my trek...I was impressed...

I've ordered two pairs - first had quality issues, second in that way was fine. Same time I've also ordered Free Hikers 2 GTX (I also own Free Hikers 1 non-GTX). So this is what I can say about those boots: MUCH harder than FH or FH2, plastic triangle thing built-in the boost outside makes your legs tilt in the opposite sides (absolutely unacceptable for me), hard to put in, Gore-Tex layer looks very "damageable", great colors, supposedly good water protection. I do not recommend those - but instead Free Hikers 2 GTX.

I'll still purchase them I just believe that I got a bad batch

The size was smaller than expected so I had to return them

The boots looked and felt great, however, the particular ones I got sent did not perform as expected with water. Instead of rolling off, water penetrated the top layer, hard to tell with certainty but I don't think it penetrated to my socks, which would be fair enough if I had worn them over a some weeks/months.

I like this shoe. I will buy it again, but it's disappointing that the zipper is not working properly after 3 months of use. In my picture you can see the zipper only goes down about 60% of the way

They seem like great boots but not for my wide feet, couldnt zip them up.

When the zipper breaks your foot could become permanently stuck inside.

These are good cold weather hiking boots, but not great boots. 1.They fit more snugly than the lace up models in the same size. 2. They do not lace up.the only tensioning system is the stretch liner and the exterior zip. The photos led me to believe there were interior laces and an exterior gater. Not so. 3. The zipper is pretty likely to rub on your shin when the boots are fully closed up. Could be irritating.

They look great but the size his all over the place ordered a size 11.5 and was just to small so ordered size 12 should have been just right but no was smaller than the 11.5 madness right so had to send both back was not very happy .adidas do give free returns so that was good just having to take them to the post office

Good product but bad advice on sizes. It said to go up one size bigger than normal but this wasn't needed! And now I have boots that are too big but can exchange the size as they aren't in stock.

Sell more of the other colour! Also stop bothering me for feedback!

It looked good when it arrived but even after ordering a larger than normal size it was still way too small. The narrow ankle openings made it incredibly difficult to get on and off. Sadly returned.

Good quality boot, great Boost sole, quality grip, looks neat design overall, but the hole to put your foot in is far too tight and small with not enough 'give'. Had same problem with Winter Terrex last winter. IF you can get them on, they are fantastic, but the aggro of trying to get them on isn't worth it. The designers should try real world examples of people trying to get these Terrex range boots on. Almost impossible ! Poorly thought through. A shame as it's almost there as being an awesome boot

Couldn't walk one decent length hike in these. Still trying to return them.

They don't even have two months of use and the sole of it is breaking.

Look great, very comfortable, warmest boots I've ever worn, but..... The waterproofing is totally useless. Stood in puddle up to mid way and both boots leaked like a sieve. I could feel the water seeping on to the top of my foot. Socks soaked from toe to ankle (and no, water didn't go over the top..) A real shame, but they need to go back. Won't buy again.

The exterior is great. Very durable. Easily my favorite adventure gear. Unfortunately they only last about 9 months or so if you use them as advertised (I.e. hiking, backpacking, playing in the mud. Due to the waterproof design, they do not breathe. Even with powder spray, the inside of the shoe traps moisture too well. Overall I'm very disappointed with the purchase. Shoes are great, but for the price, I expected to get more than a year out of them.

These have been sent back not worth the money and not waterproof

I ordered UK 12.5 - the biggest size - and unfortunately they were too small. everything else about this shoe I loved and would have 100% kept, but had to return due to being too short. Adidas, please please make your shoes in bigger sizes. Too many shoe brands only make the ugly designs in large sizes, please make all your designs in a wide range of sizes - I promise, there is a market for it.

Shoes are made with cheap materials, after trying the shoe on for the first time the zipper broke in the middle and it took over an hour to remove the shoes from my feet. Adidas shoes are made with cheap materials period!

Is to tight, that at a certain point is really uncomfortable.

Would like to speak to a member of customer service to Exchange the shoes. It's a shame as they are really good shoes and perfect for walking but are now unwearable due to this ripping. Please contact me ASAP

250 for gore-Tex with a zipper system like that is a joke. And I'm a HUGE adidas fan. I would not purchase again.
