The most proper way to review these shoes is not just unboxing and discussing the manufacturer listed bullet points. These are hikers, continental grips on the bottom of the shoes, GTX option for water and snow proofing…these were designed for trails and hiking with fashion in mind. Feeling them out and their performance on varied outdoor terrains and or different weather should be a requirement to get an actual review of this shoe.

I have hiked in the non gore Tex version. It's exactly what you'd think. Basically an ultra boost with thicker midsole, thicker outsole, bigger lugs. It's also less breathable as the fabric is thicker. The continental logo serves only for brand recognition. It's just vulcanized rubber like most other sneakers. They can handle running over jagged rocky surfaces. I would not recommend them in precipitation or mud or extreme temperatures. Good for casual to moderate trail hiking and running on dry trails.

The free hiker 2 has a better style profile vs the gore-tex version. I have done a few outdoor hikes in my new ones and they feel pretty great. After a few hours they start to feel not breathable so I can imagine how air tight the goretex versions many feel. I haven't tested any deep puddles but wearing them to/from work in the NW rain seems good so far. Reliable grip on the city streets too. Feels true to size so I didn't have to order a size up or anything.

@mantasdapkus1198 Жыл бұрын

v1 for me all the way. Smaller toe box is not that big of an issue as i initially thought because i feel like wearing them in helps. But instability of v2 is insane. My legs are on constant stress when i'm walking. I need to think about every step and how i place my feet on the ground, because it feels like the shoes are trying to twist my ankle towards inside. Too bad, v1 was my favorite shoe ever made.

@DonC23 Жыл бұрын

interesting, I got the v2 goretex and they dont feel unstable at all. I was walking on large hills and "ankle twisting" terrain all day the first time I wore them and they still felt very stable and comfortable. makes sense that the goretex upper adds more stability though

@NeverHadFun Жыл бұрын

I feel they are plenty stable, I read your review but still pulled the trigger and find myself wondering if you have some instability in your muscles or something?

@mantasdapkus1198 Жыл бұрын

Glad to hear they are working for others. Maybe my pair is botched then. I found out that proper lacing helps to mitigate that issue i have and at one point i started thinking that they are fine. That's until i bought Cold.rdy v1 and realized how very comfortable they are compared against the v2. My friend went the same route. He first purchased the v2. That was his first pair of free hikers and he was really underwhelmed. He didn't tell he has issues with instability, but i didn't expect him to, because he never owned the v1 to be able to compare. I think without owning the v1's it's harder to come to the "not stable" conclusion. Some time ago i bought myself nike pegasus trail running shoes and went for a quick hike. One 14km forest trip ant it felt like my ankles were going to break. It was very similar feeling to one i feel wearing v2's (it's even worse on Nike still). The same week i bought free hikers v1 and difference in comfort and stability was night and day. I repeated the same forest track and i was amazed how relaxing it felt. Back to my friend. Shortly after he got himself cold.rdy v1 and he instantly started hyping them, calling it the purchase of the year. Neither of us two are really waiting for spring and getting back to v2 honestly.

@jasonp2174 24 күн бұрын

Sizing?

@Jeo-What Жыл бұрын

Thank you for the review. Like you I have both versions and used both for over a month now. I find the FH2.0 locks down the heal much better than the FH1.0 and the footbed comfort is as good as the FH1.0 with the Hefeluxx Original comfort insole replacement. The FH2.0 fits true to size while the FH1.0 has more room so it's less stable unless I replace the insole with the Hefeluxx insole. The FH2.0 GTX is definitely much more padded and hugs the foot batter than the FH1.0 GTX. It is great for cooler weather like winter. Would like to see the triple black model on the FH2.0 GTX and the FH Cold RDY 2.0 in the near future. So glade that the Boost material is no longer exposed under the outsole which is impossible to clean once is stained with grass.

I prefer the regular terrex 2.0 to the gortex 2.0 version because it lets your foot breath. Gortex isn't the ultimate perfect water seal it claims to be. your feet will still get wet in morning dew grass after a few months.. (the layers of seal must wear out) but i find the regular version has the same amount of water proofing plus many many many times more comfort and stability and most importantly dries out properly. the gortex ultimately lets in and traps in moisture. pro hikers even navy seal s wear breathable sneakers designed to get wet and dry quick. gortex sneakers are a bit of a scam imo especially if your feet sweat a lot. the terrestrial 2.0 non gortex is the best hiking shoe ever imo.

With merino wool socks, the 2.0 is the warmer and better padded of the two versions in 20°-40°F for me when hiking and walking.

Context - I'm Adidas huge fan, got 4 pairs of UB22, and about 10 different kinds of Terrex shoes. FH 2 GTX have HUGE quality control issues. I ordered 4 pairs before I got one that LOOKED OK... but in fact it is soaking water like a sinking ship via front of the shoe. I have friends who have EXACTLY same problem. I still keep those since 1) can't return them after being used, 2) these are EXTREMELY comfortable. But NOT water resistant, water proof, or anything with water because even in barely wet grass both my socks are wet in the toes area. I get that you have no time to properly test these shoes, but your reviews are SOOOO bad sometimes... UB21 you said you spent day in Disneyland in those - how? Worst shoes from Adidas. UB Light - you said are more plushy than UB22 - not at all! Day after those were released I ordered 'em and when came I bought 2 pairs of UB22 because UB Light are same plush as UB22 and looks way more durable 🙈
