Customer Reviews adidas Outdoor Terrex Free Hiker 2 GTX

Not what I expected. I loved the Terrex Free Hiker Gore Tex 1.0 so much that i finally replaced them with these 2.0 versions. The key difference is that the 1.0 had a sock-like, woven opening to put your foot in. The 2.0 is the more traditional separated tongue and heel opening (like most shoes). The back of the heel also extends WAY up. I haven't had these long enough to see if the 2.0 is an improvement, but I do miss the sock-like opening. These 2.0 do have a nice big toe box.

I love BOOST SOLES They are comfortable and help saves energy

The fit feels great and the water resistance is spot on for my needs, I don't have a bad word to say about these yet. I just hope that they last a good while.

Great boot for hiking and outdoor adventuring, however I'd prefer if the boost was encapsulated in a more durable material. It's very easy to scratch and damage when hiking, especially on loose rocks. Comfort is great as with all boost products. Overall pleased with my purchase.

Love these hikers. ADIDAS didn't disappoint yet again. Nice cushning, comfortable during hikes , enough shoebox space even though me feet are pretty wide. However one aspect//problem I run into with Adidas shoes is sizing. Size 9.5 feels and looks like size 10. Overall super nice hiker. Gets 4 stars just because of sizing. I did keep the hikers but regret not exchangeing it for half size smaller.

I got wide feet and they probably expend as a day goes on when I first got these out of the box I put them on and they were super comfortable as I warm as a day progressed the toe box I realizes really narrow so if you got wide feet you're in for a world of hurt normally Adidas accommodates my wide feet but these you're in for a nasty surprise

I live in Guatemala and they sell them here like other regular shoes. I tried them on in the store and they felt great, but after using them, they felt too hot and unbreathable. So sad, because the boost technology is great and they are good-looking shoes."

Switching from the elastic top to the more rigid fabric around the ankle was a mistake in my opinion. While it may be 'better' ankle support, I think it makes full mobility when you lace them up tightly(even after breaking them in for 3-4 months). If you decide to loosen them, they kinda chafe and create a gap for things (water, gravel, grass) to get inside your shoe. Still a good shoe to grab if you can get it on sale, otherwise I would wait for a 3.0. The 1.0 is my favorite shoe Ive ever purchased though!

Extremely comfortable and versatile. The fit is great and a perfect lightweight option for winter. However, seriously question the quality. After only one winter, the color on the sole is starting to fade. The quality doesn't stand up to the asking price.

This version 2.0, has a stiff upper bit around your ankles and the tongue is too thick and folded inside the shoe which adds pressure on your foot making it uncomfortable. The previous version had a sock like fit with the upper ankle area, the tongue was gusseted and didn't add any pressure to your foot. I prefer the first version by a lot, please bring it back.

Was out walking in rain and top of shoe is definitely not waterproof

Well made, runs quite narrow and is very tight to put on, same as the all in one sock version of the shoe.

It's a cool-looking boot. It's a shame about the sizing. I ordered my usual size (I already have the Free Hiker 2.0 low version which fits perfectly). However, I only realised afterward that though I selected my usual size from the men's product page, the order selected the women's size instead. When I tried it on it was tight, so I returned it. I wish Adidas could be clearer with the differences between the men's and women's shoe sizes. Some of the 'women's' hiking shoes look good and I would have no problem wearing them, but converting shoe sizes is such a faff. Adidas, please make it clearer. Thanks.

Very light but narrow and not the most cushion for having ultraboost in my opinion.

THEY ARE GREAT HIKING BOOTS THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT WITH TIME THE RUBBER PART AT THE BOTTTON GETS DAMAGE AND TURNS WHITE.

Haven't had it for 5 months and only been on a couple hikes and already falling apart

I have owned these shoes less than a year and they are already falling apart. Way to high of a price tag for a shoe with no durability

Its GORE-TEX which serve as a good water repellent against storm. However, it was rather bulky and heavy which may not be suitable for long distance walk/hike

very nice grip to the gore-tex 2,0 hiding shoe and very comfortable when walking except for my left shoe which hurts my left ankle. It seem irritate the ankle bone. The right shoe is fine so I don't know what is causing it. Think I will try using some mole skin on that area and see if it helps.

Midsole came apart from the upper pretty quickly, shoe is too stiff to feel the boost no cushiness

Style is great very supportive but a little stiff don't like having to break them in, lightweight for a hiking shoe overall good shoes

Got some heel blisters on back of right foot. Left was fine.

i have loved the previous free hikers, and in theory these should be a really positive upgrade. But the padding on the top of the heel has stitching up the middle of it that created blisters on both my heels after a very short distance.

Comfort is great, they feel quite bouncy when walking and I don't really feel the terrain underneath me. Foot feels secure in these, but due a seam at the back they do tend to cause blisters right on the achilles, and I have had 2 of my toes on my Right Foot get blisters whilst walking in these even with good quality socks. Size, I sized up a half size (usually 9.5, ordered 10) as recommended, but probably should've gone up a full size as these are very narrow, if you have wide feet you should look at other options or size up a full size. Length wise they're fine. Grip/Sole, the sole has pretty poor durability. I haven't walked in these too much yet, done 4000-5000 steps each day for the past week and a bit and the sole has worn down a very noticeable amount in that time, I dread to think how quickly they'll wear down on dirt, rocks or gravel terrain. Also noticed these lose a lot of grip on gravel/small stones, worse than my 2 year old trainers. They look good though, so that's a plus

Love these boots have been my go-to this past winter into the first part of the spring. Kept my feet dry and warm in the cold snowy days. Noticed some white residue on the sole of both boots abut 3 months of use. I sparingly wore them as not to put too much wear and tear on them my first winter having them. Put them away as the seasons changed into the warmer months. Brought them back out for a cold spell at the end of spring time and wanted to clean them up and was disheartened to see the whitening was from the black paint of the "boost" outer sole peeling away in the same spot of both boots. This will only get worse and am very bummed my fav pair of boots look so bad after only one winter, especially at this price point. Tried to get some kind of replacement through the adidas customer service and was denied saying my window to claim that had passed. Wished I would have spoken up when I first noticed the whitening. The agent wasn't very concerned with helping my case at all.
