Extended Wear Hiker Footwear

The Adidas Terrex Free Hiker 2 Offers New Ergonomics and Comfort

The Adidas Terrex Free Hiker 2 is the second-generation of the trail-ready footwear style created with comfort, ergonomics and performance in mind. The shoe has been built nearly from the ground-up, and thus features a new upper design and a new outsole, which are all focused on a holistically thoughtful wear experience. The footwear boasts 100% recycled polyester for the upper section of the boot-style shoe made with polymers sourced from the Parley Ocean Plastic Initiative.

The Adidas Terrex Free Hiker 2 maintains a sock-like fit that provides impressive balance and stability on uneven terrain. Priced at $200, the footwear style is finished with a Continental rubber outsole to deliver impressive traction levels and BOOST cushioning for reliable energy return.
