Adidas Outdoor Terrex Fast X Mid GTX Hiking Boot - Men's

Adidas is better known for its wide range of sporting goods, from all types of athletic shoes to alothing, and sporting gears, accessories and equipment. The outdoors department should never be ruled out too. Here, we have the Men's Adidas Outdoor Terrex Fast X Mid GTX Hiking Boot.

This hiker is engineered for fast-moving, high-adrenaline adventure, that is, for heavy duty outdoors use for the adventurous. The men's adidas Terrex Fast X Mid Gore-Tex shoes are highly, almost 100 per cent weatherproof due to the breathable GORE-TEX® membrane lining, enhancing performance at that, and along with synthetic tubber upper giving it lightweight feel and enhanced fit for comfort.

This very light mid-cut hiking boot has a trail-biting TRAXION™ outsole  featuring Continental rubber that provides strong grip on difficult surface, and adaptive FORMOTION® cushioning for enhanced control and downhill comfort, giving better hiking experience.

The summary of this hiking boot is listed in the following:

• Outdoor-specific FORMOTION® unit for enhanced motion control and downhill comfort; High-abrasion mesh and synthetic upper materials for breathability and durability
• Synthetic upper material mix for lightweight durability and enhanced fit; Waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX® lining, as  performance comfort membrane
• Speed lacing construction for fast and snug lacing; Comfortable textile lining
• Midsole forefoot ADIPRENE®+ in the forefoot maintains propulsion and efficiency 
• TRAXION™ , featuring Continental rubber for extraordinary grip, the outsole provides the best grip and agility during fast activities
• Weight: 14.8 ounces (per shoe, size 7)

There are many colors for this model but most of which are having wider range of sizes available in stock for sale are the red and blue ones, while the other colors are very limited to few select sizes only (most within 10 to 13). Here are the images for the available colors. 

                                                                                                                  

                             
     

 Top row; Blue, Sharp Orange, Red.

Bottom row; Cinder/Seaweed, Solid grey.

This boot is very well received. Generally, owners have only good things to say about this boot. The fact that it turns out to be a potentially very flexible shoe appeals greatly as this is a sure sign of comfort. The excellent combination of breath-ability and waterproof quality is a must in order to determine a good pair of hiker to be worn extensively, and this one serve that particular purpose. There are also positive comments on traction. It gets uncomfortable at the ankle region, though. While not an entirely excellent shoe, judging that this is mostly a lightweight hiker, all these are made up by a reasonable price for a hiker. The fact that it may get as light as a running shoe, why not go cross country running in this pair. Well, may want to give that a try.
The fast lace feature should also be noted. This, is real good stuff for those who would love to get in and out of their shoes...often. Here are the reviews then.

5.0 out of 5 stars Almost Perfect December 16, 2011

By Justin

I bought this boot for short day hikes and longer 30 plus mile backpacking trips. I live in SW Georgia and wanted a waterproof yet breathable mid and I was hoping this would fit the bill.

I received them faster than expected, almost overnight. They weren't as flexible right out of the box as I've seen demonstrated on videos, but they are very light weight and fit true to size. The fast lacing system is awesome!

I went on a short 5 mile hike to test them out and they are indeed waterproof. I doubt they would hold up to total immersion longer than a minute or so, but have no fear of sloshing through puddles and small streams - all I felt was the coldness of the water. The boots are not big and bulky as my wife said when seeing them online, when worn with pants they look like any cross trainer sneaker. Traction and stability were also excellent.

The break-in period is almost nil, the stiffness I mentioned seemed to go away after a few miles. They now feel as flexible as a running shoe, except around the ankle of course. That area is the only real complaint I have. The material at the top of the boot and around the tounge do not form fit around my ankle and lower leg like they do on some of the videos I've seen (I do have small ankles). This causes some slight discomfort to that area at the top of anterior portion of my ankle. This decreased some after wearing them for awhile, I feel that once I've logged some more miles in them this will completely go away.

Overall a great mid-hiking boot! A little expensive, but I think money well spent.

Update: I was able to get rid of the anterior/upper ankle soreness by pushing down the tounge and squeezing the outer edges of the boot together, then tightening the fast lace system. This allowed the upper boot to form fit to my ankle.

Solving this problem left me with only one "new" complaint. The running end of the lacing system now almost reaches to my toes. All that slack looks funky so I wrapped the running end around the elastic retainer a few times (seemed to fix the problem). The only other option would be to go down a size but that would not work in my situation since besides this issue they fit perfect.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great "Hybridized" Hiker March 9, 2012

By M. Hernandez

After searching for a shoe that matched the old Nike ACG line, in style, quality and versatility, I found the Adidas Outdoor/Terrex line and, bought these in "Spray/Black/Grey". I call these 'hybrid' because, although they're labeled, function and built like hikers, they pass for sneakers (maybe the term is trail shoe?). The North Face, Patagonia, Merrell, Columbia and others make great 'athletic-style hiking boots' (THAT'S the right term!), but the look of those shoes leans more toward "boot", and so, they lack the particular styling I've been seeking (Salomon makes really cool trail shoes but most are low-top). The only, minor complaint I have is that the removable insole seems cheap for a shoe that retails for $160+. The image(s) here don't do justice to the shoe's style. The micro-checker pattern on the fabric parts looks like a carbon fiber dashboard, really cool. The top-most, outer loop is an open hook that allows the lace to be easily unhooked for convenient donning & loosening. Only 4 stars for now as I've yet to put them through real rigors. Overall a moderately priced shoe, compared to other less attractive & versatile footwear that's out.

This price for this hiking boot is typically $185.00. The price range for this hiker at Amazon is from $149.95 - $174.95, with the best price are possible with the various sizes and colors available.

5.0 out of 5 stars Merrell Siren Sport 

By D. Stockwell

This is an excellent product. We have found Merrell shoes to be very comfortable, and they offer outstanding support for the foot. My wife has several varieties of Merrell shoes, and will always look at their line first. Sizing is normal, so ordering online is not a problem. Amazon's link to ShoeMall worked well, and pricing was the best (and free shipping, too!).

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent fit and performance, 

By 

Ellen Morin (Madison, WI United States) 

I've had Merrells recommended to me in the past, but I clung to the brand I'd been wearing for the past 10 years because I was afraid the shoes would be too narrow for my feet. I have fairly prominent bunions, so I need something with a relatively wide toe box. I was extremely pleased with the fit of these shoes. They aren't overly wide, but they don't pinch the way so many brands do, to the point I always had to go up a half size to get the width I needed. I can actually wear my regular size with these. Another thing about the fit is that the heel doesn't slip. Too often, a shoe tends to be pretty much the same width from toe box to ankle, but these hug my ankle perfectly.

Being a cross-trainer, the soles are a little stiffer than most of the walking shoes I've had, but I've found I like the stiffer sole for me. I've got a plantar plate tear on the second toe of my right foot and with these shoes, I get much more support for the ball of the foot and much less aggravation for that toe. I feel like I get great cushioning and support from the sole over every part of the shoe's surface and it allows me to maintain much better traction when I'm walking to work. I walk fast, about a 4 mph clip, and these shoes make me feel like I'm floating on air above the ground.

The only minor con to the shoe is that for people with above average arches, you will probably want a different insole. Otherwise, this is a really great shoe.

I am totally switching my brand loyalty to Merrell.

Travelling Momma 

Purchased these shoes for active days travelling abroad in Turkey and Paris. They were light weight, sturdy, remarkably comfortable,dried quickly when wet, and clean easily. They were ideal for hiking on rock and dirt terrain, running on trails and walking through city streets for 10 miles plus museums in Paris. My feet didn't never hurt unlike the other folks on our trip. Versatile and super investment. Just bought my husband a pair.Thumbs up!

The typical price for this product as of now is $95.00, with over nine different colors available here, and with a wide range of sizes. The lowest possible price for this pair of hiker is at $78.90, on select options based on the availability of sizes and colors combination.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heaven after break-in

By George Shaw

I wore out two pairs of earlier design Scarpa SL's on many peaks and winter camps even though they were only rated "three season". Those boots were the most comfortable and versatile hikers I have ever owned. Inevitable replacement needs had me look at this new model first. I was not thrilled with the elevated footbed and the fact that Scarpa apparently was falling in step with the footbed design of worthy but lesser competitors like Asolo and Vasque.

Break in was longer than anticipated; I'll attribute that to the quality and thickness of the leather. Once properly broken in a very comfy ride is yours. Owing to the extended break in required it is critical that your foot is compatible with the last in terms of width, toe box, etc. as you will not feel the true nature of these boots in a try-on session.

The biggest weakness is again the elevated footbed that reduces agility and balance over the prior design.

An excellent all-arounder boot but not as far ahead of the competition as before.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Boots February 28, 2011

By Phil Twiss

I bought these shoes to do the Copland Pass and parts of Arthur's Pass in New Zealand but racked up a fair few miles in them in training before hand in the West Australian bush. This is a very comfortable boot that does take a little while to break in (so get the size right) and is an incredibly reliable boot. The only warning I would give is that if you love the pristine bordeaux leather look don't wear them in the mountains as they will become very scuffed and develop a lot of character.

I used mine in scree, snow, rock and numerous river crossings and they loved it. The soles are flexible enough to give you all day walking comfort fully loaded up but stiff enough to wear with crampons and climb reasonably serious rock. At one point I found myself climbing about 100 feet of extremely high angle moraine wall (don't ask) complete with the full weight of my pack and was able to trust my weight on the toes of these boots the whole time with little fatigue in my calf muscles. I'm sure there are better dedicated climbing boots out there but the SL M3s give you the comfort of a great trekking / mountaineering boot with the confidence of a well designed vibram sole and excellent geometry to get you through those situations that maybe you were not anticipating.

The SL M3 is a beautiful looking boot but the style is not there at the expense of the function, these are a very capable boot.

5.0 out of 5 stars One great hillwalking boot February 3, 2011

By SimSalb

I bought these primarily to do some winter hill walking / low level mountaineering in the English Lakes District. However, in the recent harsh New England winter they have also proved an invaluable asset when clearing my driveway too! Instantly comfortable, beautifully made Italian boots. By far the best boots I have ever owned. Love them. Cannot recommend enough.

And this is from Scarpa's

Ranking: 

I have owned many boots in the 30yrs I have been playing around on the trails. I am going to keep this simple. Out of all of the boots I have owned this is hands down the best boot I have ever put on my feet. Not the most expensive but it is the best. I hope Scarpa keeps this one around for a long time. I saw the new SL. I like the rand but other than that I would jump on this boot for any type of backpacking except for flat trails. The M3 would be complete overkill in that type of terrain. They have a winner here. Don't change a good thing.

The typical price for this hiking boot is $269.00 with the possibility of a price as low as $136.95 on Amazon. Click here for more details.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most comfortable hiking shoe--ever!!! 

By She Sells Seashells

I've had these for about two years now. They've been comfortable since hiking with them on day one, but after my recent experience with them I had to write a review.

My husband and I decided we were going to hike 32 miles in the Grand Canyon. If you've ever done hiking there, you know that it can put even the best shoes to the test. Going down, your tootsies are slammed into the toe box of the shoe, and coming out requires a great deal of support. Before the trip, I'd considered getting some new hiking shoes so I'd have two pairs to switch between when my feet got tired. Well, I ran out of time to get new ones and break them in successfully before the trip, so I ended up going just with these. I'm shocked...my feet are the ONLY thing that are not sore after this trip. My husband got blisters in his Merrell's, and his feet were sore and swollen, but not me--perfectly comfy feet.

Let me be honest with you. I'm a total wuss, and I complain about every little pain. But seriously, these shoes leave NOTHING to complain about. My feet LOVE them! When they wear out (which who knows when that will happen--I've put TONS of miles on them) you can be certain I'll buy another pair.

Just in case you're wondering--they run true to size, and I have a bit of a wider foot.

Happy hiking! :)

 less than expected

I have a pretty active job because I work at a retail nursery, and I tried these as my work shoes, but I'm rather disappointed with the results. I like the fit and look of them, but the rubber on the soles started peeling after 6 months, and the lining at the heel is doing the same. They were great while they lasted, but I would just expect something I payed 100$ for to not start falling apart after less than 100 days.


Here are some of the more recent purchases and reviews along with them. Mostly on the positive note.

I have been looking for a comfortable pair of shoes for work but with a little style. A co-worker told me about keen and I looked online for a pair. Of course I tried them on as soon as they came and they felt great but decided to take them for a test run on a day trip to New York. I walked all day and could not believe how great my feet felt. I will definately make Keen my new favorite brand. They were true to size and had great support for all day comfort.

5.0 out of 5 stars SOLID HIKING SHOE, yielding comfort and tough quality ..., September 1, 2012

By 

SMEAD (USA) 

I buy hiking shoes vice boots as I broke my ankle years ago, and the hard support of a boot rubs the bone on my ankle. I wear roughly a 10.5 so I am always on the fence for sizes. Sometimes 10's work and sometimes I need that extra half. 11 is generally too big and that is what I thought I had when I ordered this one in the 11. Seems true to size but I ordered the 11 because hiking (10-15 miles) expands the foot and with thicker socks, I figured I'd be safer. When I first tried it - the shoe seemed HUGE. But after adding the Dr Scholl arch supports (helpful for hiking) from WalMart and some cushy hike socks, I have the perfect fit! Be aware that this is a bit of a wide boot, but not super wide. Keen's tend to run wider up at the front for the toes, which I love for hiking as it's far more realistic than fashionable. What I found is, the boot is so solid that it took me a few attempts to pull the laces as tight (up the shoe) as required, so it did seem too large the first time out. The 2nd hike was 13 miles in the Laguna Mountains and the shoe, with the strings well tightened, was just PERFECT! It's bendable and supportive at the same time. Love the bottom of the shoe - it's rugged and tough and on steep, pebbled inclines I am stable as needed. Great boot!

The price for the Keen Women's Voyageur Trail Shoe Charcoal/Sterling Blue is at best $78.49, on select options. Typical price is $110.00.

Had the boots a week then did a 30 mile hike through Yellowstone. Didn't require break in period. Buying a second pair because so hard to find a boot I really like.

Color Name:Bison/Orion Blue|Size Name:11 D(M) US

I have been wearing these boots in lots of rain and they have kept my feet completely dry so far. They have kept my feet warm down to about 35-40 degrees F with good wool socks. When the temp. dropped lower than that, my feet got cold but I'm prone to cold feet. I ordered a half size larger based on other reviews which makes for a good fit. They feel a little snug in the width with heavy wool socks but being leather, they should break in some more with use. Bottom line.....Great boots!

I purchased these boots as a gift for my father. I went up half a size, which was good because he said that they were tight at first. He now informs me that they are the most comfortable boots he has ever owned. I'm always happy with any Keen product purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite boots!!!, September 23, 2012

By 

cherbear001 - See all my reviews

I just ordered my fourth pair of these boots, and they are by far my favorite pair of boots. They last me about 10 - 11 months before I have to get another pair. I wear them every day. When I first put on the new pair, I feel like I wrapped my feet in pillows, they are so comfortable. A couple months ago wasn't able to find them in a store and instead bought another Keen boot that looked very similar, but turned out to be not as comfortable and supportive and made my legs ache at the end of the day, similar to the feeling I get when the Klamath boot needs replacing. I shoe horses in them and they get put through the mud and muck paces, yet they hose off and look the same. I use a better insole and replace it twice to the life of the boot. I used to switch between a winter and summer boot, but my feet have never been wet or cold and they do just as good a job keeping them cool in the heat.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing fit., November 21, 2011

By 

S. R. Horrocks (Draper, UT USA)
   

I purchased a pair of these boots based on the reviews and the fact that my other two pair of Keens fit great and were very comfortable.
The Klamath model is a big disappointment for me. It has a different foot bed and I found it very uncomfortable. I had to give mine away and get something else. Don't buy these before you try on a pair to see if they work for you. I am an avid hiker and walker, have a high instep and arch, and this boot actually bruised my right foot. Buyer beware. I still love my other Keens.

Most are very positive thoughts on this boots, mostly praises for its comfort, waterproof qualities and capability to keep the feet warm, essential in serving its purpose as one of those boots worn in cold conditions. Perhaps cold plus wet conditions, giving this boots a very good purpose to be worn. Generally a good temperature regulator, in hotter conditions, it does keep the feet cool, according to cherbear001. Mr Horrocks may not be so keen on this boots though, as it sort of bruised him, due to discomfort experienced on its footbed. According to Alvaro Palache, this is generally a good boot but has indications of less than convincing durability.

The typical price for this product is $150.00, with the availability from as low as $80.00 here, on select options.

Vasque Women's Vector WP Hiking Boot Beluga/Deep Orchid

Another color for the Vasque Women's Vector WP Hiking Boot model, the Beluga/Deep Orchid, 

The Vasque Vector’s bombproof design uses a durable mesh and suede upper, combined with rubber toe and heel caps that ignore scratches when scrambling scree slopes.

The EVA and rubber sole lock to the trail. The outsole is the Vasque Quest.The midsole is molded EVA.

UltraDry™ membrane provides complete waterproofing, combining management lining with waterproof components. The Perpetuum Last creates a fit for steady, long distance endeavors.

Like all other Vasque shoes, the Vasque Women's Vector WP Hiking Boot is specially designed for women's foot, ensuring optimal comfort just for women.

The "Ultradry" characteristic of this hiker provides good ventilation or reistance to external debris and fluid (water) that should keep the feet comfortable and dry throughout moving along rough terrains.

Generally, this is the same boot as the Vasque Women's Vector WP Hiking Boot Bungee Cord/Brigt Charteuse variant, the review for this product is available here, obtained from Amazon.com. Sorry for the inconvenience. Apparently, it is very positive. Do read through though. The review is written by Linda, having had purchased and used it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally! August 27, 2012

By Linda

Color Name:Beluga/Deep Orchid|Size Name:10.5 B(M) US|

I volunteer at a horse stable and am on my feet and walking constantly. Every day I came home with sore feet, legs, and lower back. I was wearing tennis shoes because my riding boots were just too stiff. I selected these Vasque hiking boots because of the construction: thick soles, built in arch support, and they looked like they would provide good stability up through my ankles. The first day I wore these to the stable I took along my tennis shoes figuring I would have to take them off mid-way through until they were broken in. Wrong! I wore them the whole time without blisters or any of the typical things you would expect the first time you wear a shoe. And, I put them to the test that day by walking trails with a lot of challenging terrain. I cannot say enough about these shoes. I had no lower back pain, foot or heel pain, or leg pain that night or any days since then. I also love that they came in size 10.5. I usually had to improvise a size 11 to make the right fit by extra socks or something so knowing that this brand offered 1/2 sizes resulted in me having ordered another pair of Vasque in a different style. Cannot recommend these shoes enough if you have foot, leg and lower back problems. And, they're light weight. I cook a lot and I actually wear them while cooking to eliminate my foot and back pain that comes from standing at the sink/stove for hours. Great product!

The price for this product ranges from $114.95 to $129.95. Click  here for more details.
