adidas Men's Terrex Swift R2 Gore-Tex Hiking Shoe

these are really great very sturdy feeling , not the as comfortable as their brother the ax2 but better grip on the soles, and still fairly comfortable , more sturdy , they have a hard shell type material , where as the ax 2 is much more pliablethe gortex is noticeably warm , haven't been in wet or rain yet . they are just slightly looser then the ax2 fit , a bit stiffer in the upper , but over all very similarthe elastic tag that keeps the speed laces in place is nice and should be on every pair of shoe in modern times . or a lace locker like the solomon has .over all great you will love them for hiking , if you want a little more casual shoe and want to save some money the ax2 will do you great , if you want something a little more sturdy and warm with the gortex go with the r2i get the sense that adidas stooped making the r2 and the ax2 versions , and i like them more then the newer versions so i will probably stock up on both .

I’ve been a fan of low top trail hiking shoes for over 20 years. Tried just about every brand in that time. As a carpenter, I wear them every day at work, on my feet, climbing ladders & scaffolding, carrying loads.After wearing the Adidas Terrex Swift For well over a month now (at work, around town & on the trail), I can confidently say they are fantastic shoes. I will 100% be buying an identical 2nd pair.FEEL: Great support and grip on the sole and tread. Light but sturdy side walls. Zero issues with the “low back” that some harp on where your Achilles is.FIT: I was a bit worried about the width, as my 10.5 size & foot width sometimes warrants an 11. Not so on this shoe. Because the toe box is NOT wrapped completely with a rubber guard (like the KEENs, SCARPA, or other models) the front of your foot has room to roam and settle.BREAK IN: Took about 4-5 days of daily wear to soften up and stretch out to full comfort. Out of the box they were a bit snug, but you just gotta keep the faith and wear them in.LOOK: These are by far the best looking trail hiking sport shoe on the market. Most other brands on the shelf at REI look like modern cars with a lot of extra colors & jagged lines (Solomon) or just plain clunky and lame (Keen, Merrill).PERFORMANCE: Great grip. Waterproofing keeps the water out reasonably well. Breathes pretty well for a Gore Tex product.BONUS: The lacing system is fantastic! Like a quick cam belt, you can go from tight & supportive to loose enough to slip right off when entering someone’s house in a snap. Same process in reverse. One of those things you never realize you liked so much until you have the ability (like controlling your car stereo with the buttons on your steering wheel!).With daily wear and moderate abuse at work, I expect to get about 6-10 months out of these shoes.

These are by far the best hiking shoe I've ever worn. Now let me make one thing clear from the start, I'm not a hiker and these shoes are about a week old, so I can't speak to their toughness and durability for hiking and I can't credibly say really anything about the shoes long term. With that said, what I can say is that they are incredibly comfortable and have a great look. The soles are not too ridged and have just the right amount of flex, not to mention the Continental rubber really grip in wet weather, that's one reason I prefer hiking shoes for the winter. The Gortex lining is also another reason I like hiking shoes. They are also extremely lightweight especially for hiking shoes which makes them a joy to walk in. So for me these shoes check all my boxes, 1) extremely comfortable 2) ridged yet flexible sole 3) non-skid tread/sole (not just a marketing ploy) 4) waterproof 5) they look really good. If I had one complaint it would be about the lacing system. I generally like the Bungie style lacing system except for the way Adidas has you pull forward the lacing mechanism to tuck under the front lace to secure it. It's somewhat awkward to do even with a small pull tab on the lace and if you don't shorten the laces, the lace draw tab bounces up on the toe area every time you walk. Shortening the laces fixes that issue but you have to first take apart the mechanism, make the cuts, put it back together and kinda hope you didn't cut them too short. Compared to the way Salomon does theirs with a small flap under the tongue (I believe they call it a "lace garage") to tuck everything under it just seems to me they could have done something similar. But in fairness, you just have to make the adjustment once and you are good to go. The bottom line is except for my minor lace issue these are really great shoes.

I ordered size 12, which is my normal size and they fit as expected. As mentioned in some other reviews, the heel collar is very low and doesn't offer any ankle support. So, if you need ankle support these are not what you're looking for.Something that I didn't see mentioned anywhere is that these seem like they are lightly insulated. The inside of the shoe is a sliver material that seems to reflect the heat of you're foot back to you. Not to the point of being uncomfortable, but enough that I notice it.The shoes seem well built and are made of very stiff material, but are still comfortable.The bottoms are very gripping on the trails and other outdoor surfaces, but I did notice they were a little sketchy when I walked into a wet tiles floor in a restaurant.I have had these for about a month now and have worn them pretty much daily for work, which brings me everywhere from office buildings to job sites to rambling through the woods and they seem to be holding up. I brush the dirt off them every morning if there is any and they still look nice.Edit: 04/30/24: these have held up pretty well. I do rotate them with other seasonally appropriate footwear(winter boots, etc) but I did want to add that they are not comfortable for long drives, if that matters to you. My heels were burning when I wore these, but not with my other shoes while driving the same amount of time.

I got North Face, Salomon GTX hikers. these Adidas Hiking shoes are better in every way possible. I hope they never discontinue this model. Even the newer Terrex Swift R3 is not a better shoes than this.**ADIDAS**You got something people like, stick with it.

Aunque inicialme compré estos tennis y me mandaron otros totalmente diferentes, realice la devolución y me reembolsaron. Volví a comprarlos, tardaron en llagar pero al final si me mandaron estos que yo quería!Totalmente conforme con esta compra.

These shoes are awesome fit perfect and quick delivery

Però sarebbe bene valutarle alla distanza. Ora posso solo dire che sono dotate di buona suola e tomaia confortevoleCalzano un pó stretto

Son el segundo par que me compro, y es que, como podéis ver en la foto, el primero me dio un resultado muy bueno.Las zapatillas son de goretex, cómodas, y con una suela que agarra bastante. Además, no se gastan tan rápido como otras zapatillas de montaña. Y todo con un precio muy ajustado.
