I just bought them and so far I’m pretty happy with them!
Going to give these a try thanks to your review, but I'll do the mid height ones.
I am glad I found your channel! Do you think this boot will last long when used on asphalt and concrete?
Still the best pair of hiking shoes, I have ever worn, I hike in the northeast, white mountains of New Hampshire, known for being aggressively rugged. I swear these shoes were made for the northeast haha that rugged sole is phenomenal for the terrain out here. I will also say, you are right about the shoe being better if the outsole wasn’t as rigid but Adidas makes other hiking shoes that fit that bill.
Thank you for adding to this review. That is good data.
Can you reccomend also another adidas model?
@@mimilotaz1 unfortunately I have not tested any other Adidas hikers yet.
@@mimilotaz1 Free hiker 2 gtx, most incredible shoes I've worn,clouds for your feet.
@@jborrelli34 Thank you!
just bought these, these are my first pair of hiking my shoes. first impression: super stuff when i was trying them on but i’m hoping they loosen up a bit. i appreciate you take in stability as i do need stability more than anything as i have loose ankles, hopefully these work out for me.
Thanks for sharing! They do loosen up a little but the sole remains very rigid.
Did you buy the mid version for ankle stability?
I'm going to hike the Mulu Pinnacles (Malaysia), would this work well or will the Hoka Anacapa (breeze) be better? Thank you!
I would like to know how it behaves on asphalt...?
Great video. Thx
To understand the Swift R3 and the "Swift" in the name Here the Story.
First the adidas SuperTrekking of 1978 where Swift Trekking Boots with weather sealing compared to e.g. Trekking Boots by Meindl with leather lining and weather sealing (As the SuperTrekking where so successful in the Market at the end of 70s and early 80s Meindl Invented the First Gore-Tex Trekking Boots without waether sealing but Gore-Tex Bootie and lighter synthetic lining). Adi Dassler Founder of Adidas developed the SuperTrekking for Reinhold Messner for His successful Mt. Everest Expedition in 1978. The SuperTrekking was requested by Reinhold Messner as a Swift Trekking Boot for the Trek Up to the Base Camp of Mt. Everest (> 5.000 Meters above sealevel).
The newer adidas SuperTrekking ForMotion/FM of ~MY2010 was more talented as the SuperTrekking of 1978 while Not really "Swift".
The ForMotion element at the heel was also introduced in a adapted Format to
- adidas TERREX Fast R and S, while the Swift R and AX2, AX2R and the Brushwood Gen1 had a lighter Variant of a Rocker Heel.
La Sportiva Used the lighter Variant as Proof-of-Concept for the Heel-Rocker solution of it's Aequillibrium Series.
The Swift R3 should been more protective than the adidas TERREX Fast R (>MY 2013) and as Mid-Cut Model offering a ankle Support Like the SuperTrekking of ~MY2010.
So the Low-Cut Swift R3 is Not the Low-Cut Version of a Alpine Boot Like the Makra Low by Hanwag. The Low-Cut is a Trekking-Shoe while the adidas TERREX Swift R3 Mid is a "Swift" Trekking-Boot.
The "Swift" Character shines at the 2nd Part of A full Hiking day. The bright Shine gets more intensive with the Last hours and kilometers/Miles to the end of a Hiking day.
Usually Low-Cut Variants loose their Level compared to the Boot/Mid-Cut Model. The Swift R3 stays Being a good Platform for Trekking.
You may compare the Swift R3 with the La Sportiva Ultra Raptor II and the La Sportiva Akyra.
But use protective insoles in the Akyra as the midsole below the midfoot/"Plantar Fascia" is too thin for my taste and Not good enough for 100% protection. I do recommend "Icebug Slim" as insoles. The "Superfeet Carbon" is too flat, while offering No stable Platform at the heel, while Other Superfeet insoles do rise Up the heel too much.
Going Back to the Shoes.
Pionier was Adi Dassler/adidas. We do have Gore-Tex Shoes since decades noe thanks to Gore-Tex and Meindl but this step was triggered by Adi Dassler and Reinhold Messner in 1978. The complete story goes Back to the Training Boots for Emil Zatopek Made by Adi Dassler/adidas.

Hi I have a question what dose terrex-x actually do I got a beanie from adidas wnd it said it’s a terrex-x beanie I asked adidas but they didn’t help much
Good review
I'm with new pair of "Adidas Terrex Swift R3" my heel slips when walking, is it fixable? will it pass?
Do you think the mesh in the pronation area could wear out quickly and generate holes? (I saw another video where they complained about this problem)
What's the difference between R3 and AX3 ?
Thanka for the review!
My pleasure.
did u try scarpa ribelle gtx?
Any good for trail running?
I'm walking all day on Saigon city streets. Uneven and sometimes dangerous terrain. As a result I am now recovering from a stress fracture.
Would this shoe be good for my situation?
The soles are very rigid. I would go with something that has a better midsole and softer outsole. I love the Brooks Cascadia. You could also try the Hoka Speedgoats. Good luck.
@@Dusty_Hikers Thanks. I didn't see the Cascadia. I went with the Ghost 15
You might want to look into some barefoot sandals or shoes too
Will these work for casual wearing on concrete in wet conditions
I tested them last summer for grip on polished concrete and they performed worse than other shoes with softer compounds. They are not very cushioned in the midsole compared to other hiking shoes. I would go for something with Vibram megagrip compound in the outsole for wet concrete. Megagrip is very grippy.
TERREX SWIFT R3 MID GORE-TEX HIKING SHOES
TERREX AX4 MID GORE-TEX HIKING SHOES
Which is better THE swift R3 MID or AX4 MID.
Is the north face fleece vest worth it?
I like it. I got it on Black Friday to get a discount on the NorthFace Vectiv Exploris hiking shoes.
split on each side were toes bend when walking on both GTX terrex shoes after 6 month they are shit.. Got pictures, they look new apart from the splits and its got a floppy heal
Whats the difference between Terrex R3 Swift and Terrex AX4
R3 is waterproof
@@jeanpaulkassdale No. Only gtx versions of both are waterproof.
Slips easily downhill on acorns or small rocks.
I got so many blisters , what do i do?
Too bad. There is a balancing act between getting your feet ready for hiking and finding a shoe that does not require to spend tons of miles adapting to the shoe. If you are getting lots of blisters then maybe these shoes do not work for you.
if talking bout Grip..... The BEST for me still the Salomon Speedcross 2... never slipped. esp. downhill on muddy terrain. I do have the swift r3 mid. for 1 year i havnt tested it. hopefully next year January I might test it on Mt. Apo boulder face. still i will bring with me my Ultraboost Light GTX if i start to feel uncomfortBle or ill bring a 3rd shoe. which im still thinking about buying... the. Free Hiker 2 low 😂
Wear better socks
I didn't like it.. Had problems with the sole.. Just looking for other ones right now. Was way happier with R2
Thanks for the info. I think the shoe would be better with a slightly less rigid sole.
