Women's adidas Terrex Trainers, Jackets & Clothing

adidas Terrex is the outdoor side of adidas, and the grip under most of it comes from Continental, the tyre company. We've got 71 pieces here: the Free Hiker, Trailmaker and Skychaser walking shoes, the Agravic and Soulstride trail runners, and the jackets, fleece, tights and tees that go with them. Eighteen of the shoes are Gore-Tex. There's more in footwear and coats and jackets. 

Women's adidas Terrex Walking Shoes

The Free Hiker is the one most people arrive for, and it's the odd one out in walking shoes: a knitted sock-style upper on a Boost midsole, so it feels more like a trainer than a boot. It's the pair we'd wear with jeans on a normal day and still take up a hill at the weekend. The Trailmaker is the plainer, cheaper option and comes low or mid-cut, and the Skychaser is the more serious one, stiffer underfoot with more support round the ankle. The Gore-Tex versions keep water out and heat in, so if you're mostly walking in dry weather the non-Gore-Tex pairs are more comfortable and cost less.

Terrex Trail Running Shoes

The Agravic is the main trail range and splits by how far you're going: the SL and Lite are the light everyday ones, the TT has a deeper lug for mud, and the Speed is built for racing. The Soulstride Ultra is the cushioned one for long days. All of them use Continental rubber, which is genuinely the reason they hold on wet rock. Plenty of people buy these and never run in them, and they work as an everyday trainer, though the lugs wear down faster on pavement than on a trail.

Terrex Jackets, Fleece and Layers

The Xploric jackets cover the weather, from a packable wind anorak to the 2.5-layer waterproof. The MT and XPL fleeces are the warm middle layer, the Xperior pieces are the lighter technical end, and there's a Primaloft insulated hooded jacket for proper cold. Add the tights, shorts, tees and a merino beanie and you can put together a whole winter walking kit from this page. Sizing across Terrex clothing runs closer to a sports fit than adidas Originals, so if you're between sizes we'd go up.

Where Terrex Came From

adidas had been making mountain shoes since the late 1970s, when it built approach shoes for Reinhold Messner, who climbed Everest without supplementary oxygen. That became adidas Outdoor in 2007 and Terrex grew out of it. In 2011 adidas bought Five Ten, the Californian climbing-shoe company behind Stealth rubber, and folded it into the same division, which is why the outdoor side of adidas takes grip as seriously as it does.

There's more in all footwear, coats and jackets and fleeces.
