The adidas Terrex Free Hiker 2 Low GTX was made to offer a more versatile fit for explorers with sensitivity around the ankle area, consequently expanding accessibility to the outdoors. The shoe combines the lightweight feel of a trail runner with the stability of a hiking boot. Some of the design details include a waterproof, breathable Gore-Tex membrane that protects you from the elements, while even more protection and durability come by way of the abrasion-resistant mesh upper with seamless overlays. The EVA frame helps stabilize every stride when the terrain gets rocky and rugged, while the low cut construction and gusseted tongue provides the wearer with maximum freedom and ease around the ankle area while simultaneously shielding your feet from outside elements. All of the good stuff on the upper is then combined with a Continental™ Rubber outsole for extra grip and BOOST cushioning technology in the midsole.
