Adidas Terrex Free Hiker GTX vs COLD.RDY The Ultimate Out Door Shoe.
Vložit
- čas přidán 23. 04. 2021
- The Adidas Terrex Free Hiker GTX has received excellent reviews since its release.
The Adidas Free Hiker is as close to hiking shoe , boot perfection as I’ve ever seen.
I purchased two pairs of Free hikers both in GTX ( Gore -Tex)
I got one “regular” pair and one COLD.RDY pair.
I absolutely love them both. I can honestly say after 5 months of winter/fall use, these shoes are the best hiking boots I have used to date.
They aren’t perfect tho. The sizing is a little trail and error. The top of the shoes is a little tight for my foot even after months of use, and I wish they had a Safety Toe. Besides those minor areas for improvement I haven’t seen a better hiking boot on the market.
Even after months of use these boots both passed the submersion test with flying colors. Some GTX boots will develop leaks after a few months of use, but I’m very happy to report that these are still very much water resistant “proof”.

Appreciate the field testing for waterproofing, really helps!! Not every reviewer would wade in a pond to really test the GTX 👍🏼
Glad you liked the review and found it helpful. Submerging the product is my favorite part because I’ve purchased “waterproof” products before and some have leaked out the box our leaked at the worst possible time… Like on the side of a mountain in the winter smh. So I always like to test my gear.
@@KRTLyfe Hey mate, how is the width on these bad boys for either model. Im looking into the GTX free hiker. Every other gore-tex sneaker/hiker ive tried thus far from nike and reebok has been narrow as hell. Do these hold up in width compared to normal sneakers ?
Great review, loved the waterproof testing as well as mentioning the driving difficulties since I would use these for fall/winter in the city for dog walks, I'm going for the trailmaker!
The very best review of these GTX hiking sneakers on CZcams!
Thanks for awesome video, comprehensive approach and water test as well.
Just got a pair of "regular" yesterday, can't wait to try them out on hiking!
Much appreciated! Glad you found the video helpful!
These are like my dream shoes I still can’t find any that are reasonably priced as they have gone through the roof in price , much appreciated the in depth reviews
Great Review!!!!! We going to the Amazon Rain Forest and needed a good hiking sneakerboot. I have flat feet so traditional hiking boots give me the worst foot and leg pain. I'm definitely going to get the non-zipper pair. IM SO EXCITED!!!! Thank you for a great review!
You are welcome, I’m glad you found this review helpful. These boots have definitely earned the high praise they generally receive. I think these boot will work pretty good in that type of environment. We definitely would like to know your experience once you use them in the wild. Thanks for watching.
I just picked up the Terrex Trailmaker Mid GORE-TEX Hiking Shoes based on your review. Got them for 112 because of memorial weekend with a 30% off promo code. They are every bit as impressive as I would hope and more. I filled up the sink and submerged my foot and sure enough they are waterproof. They are so light. Goin to hike in the Amazon next week. Thank you again!!!!
Wow that is a great deal! Can’t wait to hear how they handle the Amazon! That will be a great test for these! Have a great and safe trip!
All Gore-Tex shoes are waterproof when new. The problems start to appear after one season of hiking. I've had so many bad experiences with Gore-Tex shoes that I went back to traditional leather boots. They are more breathable, and with the right treatment they are water proof.
That’s an honest and really informative review, thank you for your kind effort.
Glad it was helpful!
This is exactly what I needed!!! Awesome review 💯, I can't believe I just stumbled on your channel by accident. New subscribers indeed, keep up the fantastic content and doing what others aren't with the complete field testing.
Thank you so much we sincerely appreciate it!
awesome review!
I got the GTX after seeing your review. God bless you guys!
Thank you! Yeah these shoes are awesome! I want all the color ways!
Great review, i don't go hiking, just looking for something weatherproof ( i hate wellingtons) whilst walking the dog. i have an Adidas NMD Gore Tex trainer, they look and feel great but they definitely aren't waterproof and breath terribly. I'm glad to see that Adidas have worked out the kinks as i love their aesthetic.
Thanks for the excellent review! Now I can finally make up my mind on what to buy.
Glad you found the review helpful! Thanks for watching commenting and subscribing!
Have a Cold.RDY pair on it's way. Appreciate the review. Appears it will do more than what I will use it for.
Sounds Awesome I love mine they function great!
Great review, I got the cold ones recently after watching this video the first time. I got em in an 11 but my true size is 11.5. They fit perfect! I don’t mind driving in these boots I love how versatile they are. I work in them a lot! Got them in the triple black colorway.
Glad you like them they are great boots and very comfortable! Depending on your job you can get a lot of usage out of these boots!
Love your video. You and Kat make a nice production. I just bought the cold weather Terrex. Hope you guys have a wonderful future.
Thanks, you too! We sincerely appreciate it!
Thanks for this video it was really useful, I'm happy to report that Adidas made a black boost version of the GTX which I am very seriously considering since the cold version is so tough to find here in Canada for some reason.
I saw the black version they are really nice. I’m thinking might sell my mine and get those.
I have both these boots in the exact same colour! Fantastic boots and a welcome change from the traditional hiking boot, like your video says they can be worn in the city just as much as on the hills! Great video thanks 👌🏻
Totally agree, glad you are getting maximum use out of yours as well! Really considering getting the black ones that are out now as well!!!
The high boots. Are they waterproof above zipper?
Do you still have/use them? The one with the orange are they too narrow? And how has that zipper held up?
Great review!
I loved the immersion test😄
I wish you really immersed both shoes all the way up though. But I’m thinking of grabbing the zip version (I just love how they look)
Thank you, I didn’t go all the way up because I don’t believe the Goretex membrane goes that high.
I could be wrong tho. There are actually two version of the zip version. The normal one and the Humanrace version.
You can’t go wrong with either in my opinion!
@@KRTLyfe Haha, no worries. It's good you brought up that point. I am definitely in for the Pharrell Wiliams version; this triple black look is fire!!! Keep up your great work.
@@user-fh7dm1ux9e thank you thank you! 🙌🏾
YOU'RE GOD SENT!
been looking for a boot that was comfortable and water resistant for my job! I wash dishes and bus tables but my feet would be soaked by the end of the day SOO i needed this video more than anything!!!
Glad I could help! You also might want to consider Dr Martens I think they make some boots designed specifically for what you are looking for.
Stumbled across your channel. Enjoyed the video and overall presentation. You've got yourself a subscriber, Brother.
Awesome, thank you! Glad you enjoyed the review and found it useful!
Great video, thorough review. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Great review, and a great boot.
Perfect review bud thanks so much. I'm a security guard in the rainy uk on a huge building site and my pair of the cold version arrived today. I've brought them into work and walked through all the biggest puddles which must be 3" deep in places and not even so much as any damp got in. I then came inside and switched back to my trainers as my feet were super toasty!
They will also be perfect for cycling or motorcycling in cold wet conditions albeit without the armour of motorbike boots.
Snagged mine for less than $200usd so I'm thrilled with them, well worth the wonga! £€$
That is awesome! I’m glad you like them seems like you are going to get some good use out of them as well! You definitely got a great price! You might want to consider treating them with some DWR every so often. Mine have been great so far and haven’t had a need to just yet. Thanks for watching commenting and Subscribing!!! Cheers
@@KRTLyfe sound advice sir I will be making these last for many years to come. I wonder when the "upgrade" to these will be released? I may have just developed a sneaker problem 🤣
@@MuscleBandit I just got over my sneaker addiction lol, I was kinda forced to due to COVID 😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@KRTLyfe Sad times. We'll bounce back soon enough. Best of luck with the channel mate.
@@MuscleBandit thanks man, appreciate it!
Thanks for review, I have them both and you're right on about driving with them on. Its very uncomfortable I end up loosing down lase, or unzipping.
Great review, really helped me make up my mind!
Glad I could help! Thank you for watching!
Coolest couple ever. Great review!
Thank you so much! 🥰 We sincerely appreciate the positive vibes!!!!!!! Glad you liked the review and hopefully you found it helpful.
12 seconds in and I subbed great energy
Wow, thank you so much. We really really appreciate the support!
@@KRTLyfe no worries a "top 5 waterproof jackets" or something like that would be cool
I definitely understand what u mean about the yellowing of the white boost but if u don’t already know, u can buy shoe soul markers and I can color it black or re-do the white. I’ve had the same plaid of ultraboost for 5 years and they still look fresh out of the box! Keep making great videos!
Thank you for the tip and thank you so much for watching. We really appreciate it.
Awesome review! 💯Thanks a lot!!
Thank you.
Great video…..just bought those boots and love them 😜
Glad you like them! I just ordered another pair lol!
Bought Free Hiker GTX cos the felt better to me and look more stylish (don't look like expedition wear). The shoes are for different temperature ranges as was mentioned. Boost make them feel softer/bouncier than regular winter boots but not as soft as X9000L4 I have.
I just purchased the COLD.RDY boots, I live in Wisconsin and work as a cart attendant so I'm outside and on my feet all day. I have a pretty hardcore pair of winter boots, Rocky Bear Claws, But they weigh too much to use as a work boot so hopefully these COLD.RDY boots keep my feet warm and dry while also being nice and ventilated.
Yeah, I would totally try these. My feet get cold very easy and these keep me very warm and dry.
Merci, j'hésitais à me les prendre et tu m'a convaincu :) bonne chance pour la suite ^^
Great review. I already own the CLD.RDY. They are, in my opinion the best hiking boot I’ve ever owned. I find them super comfy and extremely warm and keep my feet dry. However they’re too warm for summer hiking so here to find what’s the best option for a summer hiking boot :).
Yeah, I like the regular GTX for the summer… I get cold easy tho, so they work well for me.
@@KRTLyfe I’ve opted for the Terrex Trailmaker GoreTex hiking shoe. Adidas definitely won me over with the CLD.RDY
Got the CLDRDY last veterans day. I don't wear hiking socks with them. It's an all day shoe for me. Michigan winters. I walk everyday for 2 hours. I wear them as a work shoe also. A year later, still functional. I wear shorts or shorts with baselines. I wear Adidas soccer socks, my feet never get cold. Driving is like wearing a tennis shoe. The lace‐up version comes in an all black version now. I'm about to use my veteran discount today.
Awesome, yeah I love these boots but when I’m driving i have to unzip them. Thank you for your service sir!
Great review brotha!
Thank you very much.
Agree 100% I own both pairs and with black boost soles and love them
Thank you!
Great video guys, new subscriber.
Thank you very much we appreciate it.
Awesome review! Thanks for remembering the water test!
You bet! We are glad you enjoyed the review and found it helpful!
They do run large but not large enough to size down. The normal free hikers are too stretchy on the top of the foot which made them horrible to hike downhill in. My current go to hiking shoes are the Arcteryx Aerios GTX, which are superb in terms of lockdown, weight and grip.
Same experience. I found them good on relatively flat terrain, nice to ascend with so long as it wasn't too muddy. They were horrible to descend with. Unbalanced, couldn't heel brake. Just horrible. It felt like trying to descend in a trainer. They're not for mountains as far as I can see. Scarpa, Lowa, Salewa etc make mountain boots.
a real test. thank you
Great content, I have the free hiker and the lower cut version for trail running.
So I’ve been pondering using the regular Free Hiker as a trail running shoe but I’m on the fence about it. I saw a guy on CZcams that said he did a 40 mile hike/run on them and that had me thinking…
@@KRTLyfe It is a fairly good trail shoe for longer distance, but the wt is a bit heavy, I prefer the INOV 8 G300 for long run past 15 miles or the Salmon Ultra glide for the same distance. Hoka has the speed goat as well another great contender for trail running. But for slower pace stuff the free hiker is comfortable and long lasting build well…love it for mix stuff like fast packing etc…Hope that helped have a great weekend.
Cool review of these Adidas hiking shoes. I have been binge watching lots of AT thru hikers CZcams videos. Majority of them choose not to hike in gortex boots/shoes as they do not dry out quick enough if hiking all day in heavy rain and having to wake through too many streams flowing with deeper water. I might have to buy a pair of Adidas trail running shoes and see if they work for my size 12/2E wide feet.
I am leaning towards buying a goid pair of altra mont blonc or Olympus trail sneakers or the hooka speed goat or altra lone peaks model trail shies.
That is interesting. What materials and shoes are they using? I definitely have not put mine through the same rigors of thru hikers but I have stayed out doors in them for several days on end. I haven’t experienced drying issues at all. I can’t imagine what dries faster than Gore Tex & Nylon coated with DWR. Please share your findings I’m very interested.
Thank you, very helpful!
I got a pair of each, they are my shoes when it snows so my feet still completely dry and I can wear them all day because they are absolutely comfortable.
Yes, these are great shoes.
I’ve been wearing adidas boost sneakers for years. If they are tight just take the insole out. You’re right on the boost so it’s not hard.
Great content!
Thank you and thanks for watching commenting and subscribing!
Love the design and quality material but unfortunately the bottom rubber soles seemed too thin. I have doubts that it could handle stepping on nails and such during hiking or explorations trips.
Great review man, super helpful! Did you find that the COLD.RDY shoe ankle section stretched a bit over time? Mine feel a bit too tight but the foot fits perfectly
No mine have not stretched at all. I zip them up when walking or standing but unzip them when I’m driving or sitting down for a while.
Definitely takes a little manipulation to get on…. But then comfy. I’m with you on the snugness…. But wow the heel and breathability is unmatched. Thx for sharing with us.
Also… when I zip 3/4, surprisingly that zipper does not move which eases the new shoe tension.
Thanks for the suggestion! I think I will try that this winter. I always zip them the full length. I didn’t get much use out of them last year as it didn’t get very cold down here in Georgia! 😭 hopefully this year will be proper cold!
@@KRTLyfe I knooooow. I’m in GA as well. Headed to Montreal this winter. Enough sweating while bringing in the Xmas tree. That’s just not right 😂. That’s the N.E. in me whining🫣. Thank you for sharing your treks with us! Love the content!
Salewa actually does a similar style boot called the Wild Fire Edge Mid GTX. Looks worth trying if you like Salewa
Yeah I saw those, they had mixed reviews tho. I like the way they look but they seem to fall apart fast from what I’ve read.
Well, Cold.Ready at adidas means "Primaloft" Isolation, which is simulation of "down feather" with synthetic material.
Primaloft is for cold wet and coldest dry conditions.
Yeah it works really good!
Gracias por el video. Una pregunta
Como lo ves para utilizarlo con crampones clásicos de cintas. Gracias
I had a pair on the non-bost GTX hikers, sprung a leak somewhere after about 6 months of use during the winter. I dont think the soles sealing is too good nor some of the toe area seals. It feels like the leak always starts near my pinky toe.
Great review! Your girl doesn't say much, but when she does talk, she makes some really good points lol
So I ended up buying these boots. We got our first snow where I live today. I was looking forward to taking my dog for our daily walk. I'm not exaggerating when I say that literally every step I took in the snow, the boots would slip just a little bit. These are definitely NOT confidence inspiring in snowy/icy conditions.
First time on the channel. Great review and outdoor set-up 👌 just one question I'm hoping you can help me with. So like you rezza I'm looking for something that's not the traditional fresh out the woods, cumbersome, hiking boot. I tried walking in Nike Pegasus GTX Trail Runners but it turns out I'm susceptible to spraining my ankles. So I'm basically looking for something similar, but with added ankle support. So with these being high/mid tops, what's the ankle support like on them compared to a boot and compared to a lowtop trail runner?
I would also be interested to hear what you think about the North Face Vectiv Exploris Futurelight Boots.
The Cold Ready version has a decent amount of support. The mid has some support as well but not as much as the Cold Ready. Adidas does have a few other designs that might be better suited for you.
Great review!! Will it withstand the canadian winters, Sir?? Please advice as I really like them.
I “think” the COLD.RDY version should be well suited for that region. I have only been able to test mine down to the 20s Fahrenheit. They performed well in cold windy and wet Georgia winter. I honestly felt them to be overkill for the southern United States.
Hopefully that helps just my 2 cents.
Love your vibe
Thank you so much brother as asalaamalakum!
This midfoot tightness is present in any ultraboost I have had. Just got the Free Hiker NLB’s and it’s very familiar.
That is interesting. Thank you for watching commenting and subscribing!
Can you do a long term review? My terrex gtx boots have lost waterproofing after some months.
Hello, I would appreciate if you can share the link to the non winter boots. I went to Adidas website and I could not find them. Thanks for your great reviews.
www.adidas.com/us/terrex-free-hiker-gtx-hiking-shoes/FX4510.html
great video, love the contrasting opinions you have on both model boots and how you break down some pros and cons. I recently purchased the Adidas Terrex Free Hiker and am giving some thought now to purchase the TERREX FREE HIKER COLD.RDY HIKING BOOT. My only question and concern is with the zipper, so I have to ask; has the zipper held up in the ways you have used the boot, and how are both after almost a year?
Thanks for sharing! My zipper has held up, but to be honest, even tho I haven’t had any issues it does sit in the back of my mind… If this zipper ever breaks these shoes are done. They didn’t use a YKK zipper either, but so far so good! I sold my regular GTX version because I started defaulting to my COLD RDY model and I don’t like keeping too many shoes.
Oh and nothing was wrong with my regular GTX model. They were still in really good shape and never leaked after a lot of usage.
@@KRTLyfe Thank you for the input. I actually ordered a pair of the COLD RDY and see for myself if it can hold up to the New England weather I have to deal with in MASS. Thanks again.
@@KRTLyfe I have been noticing something you slightly mentioned in your video regarding the around the foot material being a little tight on the Adidas Terrex Free Hiker GTX; question is; was that the reason why you sold that model over the zipper make? Did you find that it didn't exist with the zipper model? This very well might make me want to return the Adidas Terrex Free Hiker GTX is the tightness doesn't go away, Thanks
@@PetersonBlanc no the tightness wasn’t really a deal breaker for me. I actually wore the lace version a lot. I just felt like having two pairs of a very similar shoe was overkill for my wardrobe and I am trying to cut the fat so to speak.
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching commenting and subscribing!
Nice review!
How about ankle support on these? I had injury on my left ankle and after long mountain walks its geting a bit swell. Should I look for higher boots for more ankle support? Thanks!
I’m not sure, you really need to find a boot that works best for you but these do have a lot of support on the ankles.
Or maybe just get barefoot shoes in which it's impossible to roll your ankle and will actually strengthen it instead of weakening it further.
best review ever
Thank you so much, we sincerely appreciate it.
You should try out the gtx version of the shoe ver. They are the same but have gtx layer added and they have a all black version. They are on sale right now and bought 2 cuz I work outside alot.
I am confused. I did try the GTX version.
Like your video man, so which means even the regular TERREX FREE HIKER HIKING SHOES are not leaking with water-resistant as good as Adidas Terrex Free Hiker Zip?
Yes, they seem to have very similar performance levels. Thanks for watching commenting and subscribing!
Great video! Are those free hiker GTX (the normal ones) not the cold ones ... are they hot on a walk ? Say over 10 miles? Not very breathable some say? I’m just about to get these or the non goretex version for extra breathability and maybe spray them with nano waterproof spray just so they are breathable over the goretex example. Any thoughts very welcome! ✌️
I personally don’t find the normal GTX pair hot at all… but my feet are always cold so take my option with a grain of salt.
@@KRTLyfe thanks for the response! So many different opinions on the gortex! Thanks.
I like those Adidas boots. Where did you get them from and what is the link brother? Is that a rain jacket you got ? Can you share some of the links ? I am in Atlanta by the way now.
You can get them on the Adidas website. The Jacket is no longer available on TNF website tho.
Main question, do we really need to buy a half size up (I wear 9, so 9.5) as with many hiking shoes to allow layered socks? Or as the reviewer says these get loose? Any experience guys?
I would say try them in store with different socks. Everyone’s feet and needs are so different.
random question, what brand beanie is that?! fire!
I just recently purchased a pair of the gtx free hiker version and was wondering if the upper (prime knit) area is waterproof or holds up against rain?
If you look at our Instagram @KRTLYFE. I just up loaded a story walking through some pretty deep water. It should give you a good ideal.
Hey, great review 😊
I’m thinking of buying the cold.dry version. Do you think it would work alright for rainy autumn and winter days in the city? I’m going to be using them for at least 5-6 hours a day (a couple walking, the rest sitting) and am wondering if they’d get too hot if the conditions aren’t too extreme (negative Celsius, snow etc). Should I just opt for the regular gtx version? (I do clearly prefer the look of the cold.rdy 😂).
Hopefully you see this, thanks in advance.
So IMHO if you live in Toronto, Denver or similar climate I think you would get a decent amount of use out of them. If you live any where south of those cities I would say the “Normal” version is better. I get cold really easy especially my feet and I have struggled to find situations where I would use the COLD.RDY. They are definitely overkill for southern cities like mine.
@@KRTLyfe Thanks so much for the response. I guess regular is the way to go. Much appreciated 🥲
@@demianbell6415 mmm but how about the circulation ???
Noice. Have the cold rdy one. It's -20c here and I'm good
Thank you!
You're welcome! Thank you for watching commenting and subscribing.
yo great video, liked the way you broke it all down. I'm thinking about getting the cold.rdy pair bc I like the way it looks, only problem is that I live in south Florida where it only gets cold like for like a day or two out of the whole year haha. would you recommend me getting them?
Absolutely not, it barely gets cold enough in north Georgia for me to break these out. If you just want to look you could try but I feel like you would get way more usage out of the regular GTX model.
@@KRTLyfe thanks! I’ve never seen/ held them in person so I didn’t know if it really was insulated inside of it. Hopefully they make the same boot style of the cold.rdy but just with the GTX technology!
I think Hiking boots are not meant for driving, if you do so then sure you will see the difference . I just bought SALOMON Hike GTX I cant wait to try them.
Are they actually warm enough for cold weather? UB21 c.rdy aint doing anything abt the cold weather. Im planning to get free hiker 2.0 gtx for winter season. But im worried it wont do cold resistance.
I’m not sure about your climate but I was only able to wear the CLD RDY a hand full of times here in Georgia and my feet wear too warm in them. That never happens to me, so I would say they are very, very warm.
Howdy, mighty fine review. For the free hiker is the goretex all the way up the knit section? Thanks for any help
It goes a little more than half almost 3/4 of the way up.
@@KRTLyfe So does that include the tongue section?
I plan to bay this TERREX FREE HIKER GORE-TEX
Could you tell me something about how it feels on snow is it could standing on ice or snow for longer time???
Btw very gooood video.👍
With the COLD.RDY I couldn’t tell i was standing on snow. However I was only standing on snow for an hour or so.
If the shoe is too tight then swap out insole with a thinner insole. You can also wear them without the insole and just wear a thicker sock.
Great suggestion, thank you.
Hey guys, can u give an update now on how they fit after awhile? they still holding up? do they break in/strech out? im inbetween sizes, which one i pic is gonna depend on if they break in/strech out a little bit.
They haven’t stretched out at all. I would definitely get the size that fits you best. I don’t see these stretching for a long time.
Loved the review man, I have the free hikers but am considering the cold.rdy and I think with your review you got me sold. I also wanted to know what pants those were at the end of your video, where you checked for the goretex or if you have any recommendations where I can get pants like those?
ADIDAS Z.N.E. PARLEY PANTS
Those are some super cheap H&M pants... However they work excellent for camping and outdoor activities. I’ve gone on several multi day camping and fishing trips wearing only these pants. In weather ranging from 30F to 90f They are very comfortable, dry pretty fast, warm when wet, breath decent for the weight of the material, Zippered pockets I could go on and on about these pants lol. H&M mistakenly made one stellar pair of pants.
@@KRTLyfe thank you, will definitely grab a pair when I can
Hello! I saw one of your guys videos where you compared the terrex free hikers cold.rdy vs gtx. I want to get the cold.rdy but i was curious about the sizing. So i have tried the GTX and i fit quite well in size 8.5, so if i fit well on the size 8.5 on the GTX, what size would you recomand me getting the Cold.rdy ones, 8.5 or 9?
Ps: i cant try the terrex cold.rdy physicaly on for size
I would try going true to size unless you plan to wear really thick socks.
@@KRTLyfe thanks dude thats what i orderd!
How is your experience with sizing? I usually wear 10, but some shoes like 2k boost goretex 10.5 is better. Not sure which size to order. And I can't try them physically.
Both Free Hiker the one with and without GTX is available with painted BOOST midsole. E.g. Camouflage-painted.
if you were to fold them down would it be good for all year use including office? I hate wet feet and don't like owning a whole lot of footwear
I wouldn’t recommend it. The only one you could somewhat “fold” is th COLD RDY and it is very insulated.
Check out Salamon sport cross mid. I love mine just ordered a pair of these as I got them less than half price and I like the look will see how they compair.
I definitely would like to try the Salomon XA Alpine 2. It’s a very nice looking boot.
Can you make a video on free hiker version 2?
Adidas also does a 510 mountain bike boot in goretex
It's quite a lot cheaper than these but just as good/ tougher
I’ve seen them on the website for a few seasons now but never in a store or in person. I am curious to see what are like tho!
Great review, what is the yellow jacket you're wearing at the end?
It is a North Face Jacket from a few years back.
Hey, so is the COLD.RDY version waterproof as the GORETEX ones in every terrex model? Thank You
Yes they are, the COLD. RDY version is also GTX.
Hello sir, thanks for the great video! By the way, can I wear the Terrex Free Hiker on snow day in the city like NYC? Would that be too cold and slippery?
I would recommend it for snow and Ice for sure especially the COLD.RDY version. I wore mine on Ice and snow with no issue at all.
@@KRTLyfe Thanks for the reply!
I prefer the look of Terrex Free Hiker GTX instead of the COLD.RDY. So the Terrex Free Hiker GTX works well on ice and snow too?
@@Mr-Doctor-King I think the regular version will be good as well, just not as warm .
Forget the shoes! That truck tho! 🙌🏻
LOL thank you!
Awesome reviewer, mind sharing the brand of those grey cargo pants?
Sorry for the late reply, I was trying to find out. They are a generic eBay brand with a “unique” name Modern Soldier or something hilarious like that.
Hello i received mine and was raining yesterday!! After 1 hour i started to feel damp on my feet!! And realized that between the 2 layers was very damp!! With a bit of water!! Have no idea!! Was using rain pants aswell!! Thinking to return! Have u experienced something like that?
Never, I have worn mind in hard rain many times and standing water. They have never leaked, maybe you got a defective pair. Try contacting Adidas.
quality review! Those pants are fire, who makes them?
Honestly I don’t ont know my brother gifted them to me. I believe they came from eBay tho.
i know this vid is to review the shoes but i wanna know what pants you got on 4:38
I believe they are available on amazon and eBay. If I remember correctly they are called free soldier… To be honest they are okay, but my 5.11s are vastly superior.
Just ordered some
Going on a trip up to Colorado in the snow and don’t want to use my regular hiking boots would the regular trex keep snow out the boot and feet dry nothing worse then cold wet socks
I would say it depends on how deep the snow is going to be and if you are going to be using gaiters. Either way I would recommend some type of gaiter but if it was me I would lean towards the cold ready version for sure!
Thanks for the review. Can you shed some info/light and that yellow jacket you were wearing at the end of the video?
Yes I can! It is made by The North Face it is called the DRYZZLE jacket. It is released in a variety of colors every year. I don’t think they have the same color yellow at the moment available on the website.
Thank you for watching commenting and subscribing to our channel!
@@KRTLyfe awesome thank you. Too bad that yellow color is no longer available. Now that it has been 8 months since this video what are your thoughts on the adidas gore Tex free hikers? Hopefully you got to put them to more tests in the super cold and wet weather. Do you still have them, did you get the triple black free hikers? Or have you moved on to something else?
Any updates on these shoes?
Tell me the last song 14:55 guitar both shoes are good
