Several adidas Terrex shoes for trail running and hiking are fully waterproof. Others are water-repellent, which means they're made to shed light rain but not to be submerged. For waterproof Terrex shoes, look for GORE-TEX or adidas RAIN.

Terrex, by sportswear giant Adidas, is a renowned trail running and outdoors brand, with over three decades of heritage. From trail running shoes and trainers to hiking boots, clothing, and accessories, Adidas Terrex is a great brand for blending urban styling with dependable outdoor performance.

Terrex sports shoes are waterproof hiking shoes with a very light low cut. Regardless of this, they provide excellent protection and stability.

Lightly reinforced with a midfoot shank and reinforced heel, the Adidas Terrex AX4 is a small step up in stiffness and stability from a trail running shoe. If you prefer a flexible design for hiking primarily on well-maintained trails—and with a daypack or light backpack—it should work well for you.
