The Adidas Terrex AX4 is a surprisingly quality lightweight hiking shoe for the price, but there are lots of options to choose from these days, including perhaps the most classic budget offering: Merrell's Moab 3. For $10 more, the Moab 3 is softer and more cushioned, with a wider toe box and more toe protection.

adidas TERREX clothing is the ultimate training kit for the outdoors. A selection of footwear and jackets is allied with lightweight, breathable GORE-TEX weather-dry technology that repels water while releasing vapour, helping you stay in control and break on through when the going gets tough.

Versatile, comfortable and waterproof, these adidas Terrex hiking shoes are made for light hikes and everyday adventures. A waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX membrane seals out water while letting your feet breathe for all-conditions comfort.

Waterproofing and Breathability The Adidas Terrex Swift R3 GTX comes with a Gore-Tex liner, making it fully waterproof (a non-waterproof model is available for $20 less).
