Just gotta say, I really appreciate your laid back, honest review style. There is a clear attention to detail, but without making it over polished and sterile feeling. Keep it up. Just subscribed.
I have two pairs one knit upper and Gore Tex. Use them for outdoor, some short distance running, life style/casual use, Work Shoe for raining and muddy days. It’s an all around good shoe 👍🏼
Bro can u give an update, do they strech out/breaking in after use? I have to sizes, smaller one feels better to walk in but might get uncomftable when walking longer distances because they fit barely.
Hi. I am a postal worker and I bought like 3 pairs. I must say they are comfortable and nice to wear but they don’t last long cause I do a lot of walking. About 12 miles a day because of my route. So the drawback is the bottom is the first to wear then the inner sole but I wouldn’t mind finding a pear that last a little longer than 6 months.
Love the look of these and was about to get a pair, then realised they're not gaiter compatible, which is kinda crazy for a winter hiking boot, especially here in the UK, I need to be able to wade through shallow mountain streams in them and they too low for that without gaiters, a bit gutted as I really do love the look of them, they could just add a little tab to clip gaiters onto at the front, great review!
Started hiking more after my first pair of Free Hiker because it is just SOOOO Light, and super comfortable on both the top and bottom while hiking for a pair of hiking boots. I ignored it for a year thinking it's an over priced pair of hiking version of SUPER NOVA boost running shoes until I tried it few years ago during Christmas sale and was hooked since the Free Hiker model is most stable and comfortable pair of shoes I now own!
I am a size 11.5 and they fit snug. If you wear medium to thick socks you may need to size 1/2 size up. They grab the back of your heel nice for a snug hug almost which is unique and I don’t experience on many other shoes. Took some getting used to but I kind of like it for support. And yes wish it had a front pull tab
3:55 - don't put these in the washer, it takes days to air dry out. I even wear these in summer when it rains. I wear them all winter for 10-12 hours a day till this day. Got them November 2020. I'll be getting the all black lace ones this year. I've put these in the washer, still waterproof. It just takes days to air dry.
Rocking these shoes for two month now. One of the best shoe I had and I had alot of hiking shoes. Never looking back to those "specialized" shops fot hiking and traveling. One thing though, if you like stability in your shoe, think twice. Its not most stable shoe, really soft but works for me.
Copped a pair in the Olive and black colourway. Originally went TTS but exchanged for half size up and it fits great. I love these boots and can't wait to use them for the winter.
I love the Terrex hikers, I made a video on those too . One of my favorite hiking shoes. Those winter RDYs look great, the collar reminds me of those Jordan 28s
Been looking to cop these for some months now. They always sold out but finally ordered them yesterday. They look great both in design and materials. As for the fit, Adidas don't mess around on that front either.💯
Thank you for making this video so I can have better understanding of it's features before placing my order. Amounts my 30+ pairs of different Adidas boost shoes/boots the Free Hiker model is THE most versatile, functional, stable and comfortable shoes/boots for my wider & flatter feet. I Love the waterproof Free Hiker GTX (Gore-Tex) for hiking and walking the dog into wet/muddy areas that other dog owners would avoid so I can unleash the dog to burn out its steam of the day; however, in the cold winter season it's just too cold even with Merino insoles and Merino socks (Rule#1 in cold: NEVER WARE COTTON SOCKS!! since the saying "COTTON KILLS" is not a myth!!). The TERREX Pathmaker Climawarm Boots is stylish and very warm; however, it is a narrower fit even with one full size up. It is much heaver with a very stiff ankle support and MUCH harder outsole that the boost is often not notifiable unless I use the Hefeluxx E-TPU (boot) insoles. I received the Free Hiker Cold RDY sneaker boots in the Pharrell Williams Triple black version almost a week ago and loving it. I LOVE the zipper since I don't have to install the elastic No Tie shoes laces on them as on my other shoes. I bought this pair with 1/2 size larger in order to install the Hefeluxx OG comfort insoles (works best over all other versions of Hefeluxx insoles on my Free Hikers) and the comfort and stability is equal to all the other pairs of Free Hiker/ Free Hiker GTX I have. Without the Hefeluxx insoles I would go true to size like my OG Free Hiker with excellent fit; however, the Hefeluxx insoles just adds extra "Boost" feel especially when hiking all day up and down on rocky mountain pathways. Thanks you so much again for making this video.
Suggestion : zoom in more on the shoes as you explain away and show the features. All I see in the frame is mainly your shoe collection in the background, and then you in the center, and lastly your hands shaking something black.
I've always loved the Terrex Free Hiker. The mainly black CW with a hit of green is hard to find in my size now. They were sitting for like a year straight. Should've copped at the Portland Employee Store when I had the chance 😭
The Free Hiker is much more comfortable for wider/flatter feet as well as it is much lighter and not as stiff on the ankle area. The Boost is well felt on all Free Hiker models but not the Pathmaker CW.
I just need a shoe for normal wear wheb it's raining outside as my normal shoes tend to get wet inside as they absorb water. Will this ensure I have dry feet when it rains outside?
@@HerschelVjepxa yep, that's actually why i bought them - but there's a few caveats. Ex: i didn't realize at first that the waterproofing from the Gortex diminishes over time. Depending on how often you wear it/how much you expose it to, people say you may need to give it a few fresh coats of waterproofing spray every 6 months. I've had mine for years and haven't sprayed mine and my feet stay dry but... i havent exactly jumped into 3ft puddles either lol. Also, even though GTX makes it less breathable, it's still primeknit, so in cold weather it may be chillier than thicker shoes/boots. That said, I've worn mine in snow several times and I've been fine 🤷🏾♂️. Hope that helps
Looks like a semi serious hiking boot. The height is to keep gravel,sand and dry grass sticks/seeds from entering inside the boot. I myself wear mcrae 8" desert boots. The higher tops have saved from serious ankle injuries.
this is what ultra boost fans wanted in 2016. 3M would be nice. waterproof shoes loose this function after a month of heavy use. After that I need to spray the repellent spray every 2nd day after cleaning. Why is gore tex so popular. The membrane mooves with friction and then waterdrops get through where only water is supposed to go.
Having the same issue was hoping it would work with heavy water use and they did not, but they are still a very comfortable shoe, I am able to use standing all day and feel comfortable . Will have to use a waterproof spray. I hope it works cause I love the comfort.
I just scored the new version of these for work (at a fish market) where full size Rubber Grundens are the go-to since everyone's getting literally hosed on all day, they did hold up and kept my feet dry, but I do need to add some DWR Spray under the zipper/tongue part of the shoe where the water seemed to soak in finally, my feet did stay dry though, over-all for the paces I put through them I'd give them 👍 especially the light weight and comfort vs. A full heavy Rubber Boot.
The black/red/grey pair was not comfortable at all for me. Was disappointed. But these look REALLY good. I need to get a pair of those winter ready shoes.
I've not seen these before as I'm not much of a sneaker connoisseur. I have a pair of terrex swift gtx mid boots which are a great but the sole is so stiff its almost like old school military boots, I find them to be uncomfortable after a couple of hours in them. These look much more appealing. I just hope the adhesives they use are better than what they used on the cloud foam series. Both pairs of cloud foams I had ended up with the front end of the sole parting away.
The last batch were the restock. The original drop was as early as september, i copped mine in the november restock. You may have better luck if/when they drop other colorways, but these black and orange ones are probably gone for good as far as retail goes. Don’t quote me.
@@Anthony-sn9kl I actually copped the Pharrell Williams triple black version for €250 on the YOOX website. My pair is coming tomorrow!😇 You should check it out too😉
@@dankmemer2774, but why? People would buy them for years if they are that good? I had some great looking climacool shoes with mesh on the sole and they've stopped selling them. I fail to see why. Now there is a heat.rdy model I'd probably have to "stock" just to be sure I'll have it when they stop selling it.
Just got these babies in 3 months early for *Winter* 2021. Buy at *least* a half size up if you got *wider* feet because they're snug and takes a bit of an effort squeezing into. Literally feels thick like sealskin material. Squeaky as hell! 🥾
For those who haven't watched the video yet, it could probably be 2mins long if you take out the reshoven8r advertising. :) Oh and it's the first thing put in the description, shock.
Dude 4+ minutes of just ads/intro. That’s completely unacceptable. You’re my favorite sneaker RUclipsr and a legend, but I just had to call you out on that, cmon dude.
Apply any water repellent on any breathable material and the breathability will dramatically decrease and the shoes will get warmer and that is why everyone should ware merino wool socks as they are not itchy, does not have to be thick and will keep you cool in hot weather and is RECOMMENDED BY IRONMAN ATHLETE!!! Google "Cotton Kills"!
I just copped these last week and took a chance on a size 10 since they ran out of 10.5, usually wear 10.5 (wide feet) ...thankfully they fit just fine, plenty of toe space to wiggle around. I also have the ACG Antarktik and these are much easier to get in to. Yeah, $250 is a bit much though...should have been priced around the Antarktik or less.
Washing in hot water is typically what strips the water-proofing coat from materials. My buddy was a dummy and washed his Northface waterproof Jacket- turned it into a windbreaker.
There’s a difference between waterproof and water resistance. A waterproof garment has a dwr(durable water repellency) coating on top of a waterproof/ breathable membrane underneath, water resistance only has the dwr. If that jacket you mentioned absorbs water, then yes the dwr coat is worn out and needs to be reapplied. However, if it absorbs water on the surface, but no water leaks through the other side, then it is a waterproof garment. If the jacket completely fails with water penetration, then it is a water resistance garment. In any case, the dwr coating should be reapplied because that aspect is found on both types of jackets and can be worn off through constance use or wash.
The black and orange are 🔥 but I don't wanna spend $200+ on a boot I copped the NOT cold rdy ones at the outlet for around $80 really good boots wore them around 32F walking with bigger socks I was totally fine.
These reminds me of the Air Jordan XX8 with the shroud. That was a solid performer. Also got wide feet. Did you go TTS or you think you could go half size down?
Bought the GTX version in 2019 as winter boots and the only downside to them is that they don't hold up below -10C no matter the sock. And now adidas is teasing with a "Cold RDY" version... Might buy them next winter.
I have few GTX as well and they are too cold for winter season especially walking the dog in the early morning in a foot or more of snow even with wool insoles. Got the Cold RDY a week ago and definitely warmer. I am still waiting for the cold weather coming next week (-7 feel like -13) with very little snow (1cm) but 40Km wind gust to test it out. Tested it with 20mm heavy rain with 50Km wind gust this morning (+5 feel like 0) and my feet were dry and warm with merino insoles and socks (never wear cotton clothing especially in winter! google "Cotton Kills" to learn why) while going through deep puddle and very, VERY soft/deep mud. Clean it up like I always do after each use of my shoes and they look just like new.
@Heskicks here's a secret get the Gore Tex laundry wash and use it to wash the shoe and it will water proof the shoe. Then dry it on low after just spray it let it dry then give them a 2nd spay and your good
Even with boost in the mid sole, it really doesnt feel like it. These are a bit more durable than Free Hiker 2 GTX and theyre insulated for warmth but I dont find them anywhere near as comfortable as Free Hiker 2 GTX. I never really feel that “energy return” on the Free Hiker Cold. Rdy. If youre doing long potentially colder or snowy hikes, thats the only time I would recommend these over some other Terrex options, particularly the Free Hiker 2 GTX. I found the Cold. Rdys to lose its comfort.
I wouldn't bother. I have a pair and have walked a great distance when bad weather came in: The goretex is genuinely waterproof, they also have great grip. However, the toe box is really badly shaped and gave me sore toes. Plus they are freezing cold. Goretex isnt that breathable (that's all BS) so whilst it keeps rain out, it can cause your feet to sweat like crazy. They seem to have gone as far as possible to ventilate them which means they are colder than a pair of cheap runners. Overall they're a decent looking boot, but absolutely crap for hiking.
Great video! I don't mind that you pronounce it 'Gore Tech' but then you still pronounce Adidas 'Terrex' with the 'EX?' They have the same suffix but you pronounce them different?
@Truth Teller Talks Nike ACG Mountain Fly GORE-TEX. There's a new colorway dropping on SNKRS on 18th Nov. or cop from stockx. im thinking of getting them
Adidas Terrex ; totally agree 8.43 point about folding down (or cutting off) the ankle tight bit; more comfortable. Also wish they were'nt made in China.
White boost was a nonstarter for an all terrain boot. Why would you ever do that? Any water resistant shoe has to be non-white boost sole. Have these people ever seen what mud and grime does to white boost?
These finally came to adidas Canadas website. The colourway online is a black and olive colourway, with black boost. Also how is sizing on these? Do they fit the same as the regular Free Hiker GTX
the adidas sales for the free hiker is like 140+ tax so its still hella expensive if you find a color in your size that u like. im salty that the red goretex version is not sold here
Would the cold rdy pair be too hot for spring & summer hiking? I’d like something for all seasons but feel like maybe the regular free hiker may be for suitable for hot weather.

Micheal keatons Batman wore Jordan 6s
@@SocraticMind89 they sold out months ago
@@DamianLewd I copped back then and sold out the moment I checked out
Yes I wear it all the time
Way better than the Ultraboost ATRs. The ATRs are not meant to hike at all.
Got these couple of weeks ago.... absolutely brilliant!! Will definitely buy again!!
How often you use them? What have you put them through? Are they water proof? That’s my concern of them
What my guy said, how do these fare through which conditions? And more information on it?
I have never heard of wash your shoes in the washing machine before. You are there first to mention it. Cool.
My wife started this, not my kid's shoes are there every few weeks. Just put a towel or something to avoid the excessive tumble :)

I have 3 pairs of these! They are perfect. I live on an Oregon beach and they keep my feet dry and sandless.
would your feet get sweaty if you wore them when the weather is not very cold? Also did you order a half size up or down from usual size?

Just copped and all black pair in my size ! Just randomly looked at adidas and boom there they were , copped immediately !
so did I!
I’ve used reshovinator, and honestly I’m not too impressed. I feel like a diluted liquid detergent does the job just as well.
Good looks
True
Same here. I followed the directions and it stiffed the suede parts and just overall nothing too great that overall water couldn't clean.
Facts
I have 4 Terex and or Hydra Terras. They don't make them anymore but they are my favorites. Can't wait to try this.
Best of all Terrex I have every owned.
I have a pair of the Terrex Free Hiker. I love them! These are very comfy, especially on a long hike!
Review on TERREX FREE HIKER 2 C.RDY coming soon? I hope. Based on extra lace over the waterproof membrane, maybe 1/2 or full size up? 😉

Tested it with 20mm heavy rain with 50Km wind gust this morning (+5 feel like 0) and my feet were dry and warm with merino insoles and socks (never wear cotton clothing especially in winter! google "Cotton Kills" to learn why) while going through deep puddle and very, VERY soft/deep mud. Clean it up like I always do after each use of my shoes and they look just like new.
Did this restock? As soon they cameout it was sold , 2month ago . I see they are sold out
Yea they restocked couple of days ago igot my size 2 months ago when they originally dropped
@@SocraticMind89 sold out again
@Heskicks here's a secret get the Gore Tex laundry wash and use it to wash the shoe and it will water proof the shoe. Then dry it on low after just spray it let it dry then give them a 2nd spay and your good
when is Adidas going to sell these in Canada, where it get's super cold. They're leaving a lot of money on the table.
Even with boost in the mid sole, it really doesnt feel like it. These are a bit more durable than Free Hiker 2 GTX and theyre insulated for warmth but I dont find them anywhere near as comfortable as Free Hiker 2 GTX. I never really feel that “energy return” on the Free Hiker Cold. Rdy.
If youre doing long potentially colder or snowy hikes, thats the only time I would recommend these over some other Terrex options, particularly the Free Hiker 2 GTX. I found the Cold. Rdys to lose its comfort.
I wouldn't bother. I have a pair and have walked a great distance when bad weather came in: The goretex is genuinely waterproof, they also have great grip. However, the toe box is really badly shaped and gave me sore toes. Plus they are freezing cold. Goretex isnt that breathable (that's all BS) so whilst it keeps rain out, it can cause your feet to sweat like crazy. They seem to have gone as far as possible to ventilate them which means they are colder than a pair of cheap runners. Overall they're a decent looking boot, but absolutely crap for hiking.
Sorry to be pedantic, but it's Gore TEX...with an X, not Gore Tec. HAHA! Thanks for the great review!
Great video! I don't mind that you pronounce it 'Gore Tech' but then you still pronounce Adidas 'Terrex' with the 'EX?' They have the same suffix but you pronounce them different?
Interesting---when you fold down the boot's uppers like that it resembles what Peter Pan wears. Are you trying to tell us something else here ?
Bought a pair of these… awesome 👌 what are the green pants worn in the review section when water poured on them?
My man was trying too hard to sell product, makes it too hard to take anything he says about the shoe serious, ya know?. Obvz he was reading a card
@Truth Teller Talks Nike ACG Mountain Fly GORE-TEX. There's a new colorway dropping on SNKRS on 18th Nov. or cop from stockx. im thinking of getting them
Have the Free Hiker Prime Blue for casual wear, for real wear on the trails the Adidas Terrex Agravic Tech Pro.
You should review the Nike acg
No waterproofness is not a word but waterproofing is 😂
Waterproofness absolutely is a word
I've wanted these so bad for so long! They're always sold out in my size 😪
What's your size? I have these for sale in US 11.5 mens.
Previous terrex boots were great to walk in and done some of the camino with no probs. Leaked from new. hope these are different
Adidas Terrex ; totally agree 8.43 point about folding down (or cutting off) the ankle tight bit; more comfortable. Also wish they were'nt made in China.
White boost was a nonstarter for an all terrain boot. Why would you ever do that? Any water resistant shoe has to be non-white boost sole. Have these people ever seen what mud and grime does to white boost?
Great review.....keep up the good work.....
Really weird question but what are those zip up olive drab pants you were using on the water test?
I fr would like to know as well lol
i love these type of videos
I don’t collect shoes but that’s a sweet looking shoe triple black glove fit look.
Great channel. Have you reviewed the Salomon SnowSpike? They are so hard to find...
These finally came to adidas Canadas website. The colourway online is a black and olive colourway, with black boost. Also how is sizing on these? Do they fit the same as the regular Free Hiker GTX
This is a must have 4 every Cellar winery 🍷 worker
These look cool. Like crow feet for those wet Seattle days!
the adidas sales for the free hiker is like 140+ tax so its still hella expensive if you find a color in your size that u like. im salty that the red goretex version is not sold here
Came for review of a show, left with two commercials featuring a different show
yea, another item sales in US only. so whats about the Canadian market again.
Those are perfect because I am so busy I don’t have time to tie my shoes they great in all terrain carpet and hard wood floors two thumbs up 👍
Really looks like the air max 180 high. Crazy coincidence bc I just came across them today.
Would the cold rdy pair be too hot for spring & summer hiking? I’d like something for all seasons but feel like maybe the regular free hiker may be for suitable for hot weather.
How bout a casual pair. Vessi is the brand
sold out. will more be made available? when?
Not too shabby 💥
Omfg! Came here for the shoe and lost 4 minutes of my life for the infomercial. Nice review I'm not gonna lie!
Wonderfull video cong..👏👏..Normally my adidas size US 9,5 if i buy Free Hiker must i choose same size or 1 size upper US 10?
