Adidas likely isn’t the first brand that comes to mind when you think of hiking—but with one try-on of their new Terrex line of hiking sneakers, you might end up thinking differently.
The Terrex Free Hiker 2 has all the standard qualities you’re looking for in a hiking boot: Gore-Tex lining for all-weather performance, welded construction at its stress points for extra durability, and a high-grip rubber outsole for traction in any conditions.
But from there, it starts to resemble a super-comfortable sneaker more than a hiking boot. Adidas’s trademarked Boost midsole provides a huge amount of cushion and shock absorption, and the Free Hiker’s soft knit uppers are as comfortable as your favorite pair of sneakers. Overall, they’re a fantastic reinterpretation of the classic hiking boot style, now with casual shoe comfort.
