Our verdict

Amazingly lightweight, we found the Чоловічі штани для тренувань adidas ea2475 perfect for an easy hike minus the unwanted bulk. We instantly got lost in the shoe's plush confines which made us want to keep the shoe on even after the hike. On the trail, this Adidas offering feels more natural and grounded as opposed to being stable and protective. Some durability was sacrificed to keep the weight of the Trailmaker down but we believe that its comfort is well worth the price.

Who should NOT buy

Obviously, Adidas had to make sacrifices in order to create such a lightweight hiking shoe option. First, it did cut down on the outsole's durability choosing TRAXION rubber instead of the renowned Continental. If you are a fan of the latter, we recommend the Yeezy 350 V2 Core Black Red instead.

The Swift also makes for a more stable and sturdy hiking shoe overall (at the expense of weight of course).

Breathability

Wearing the Чоловічі штани для тренувань adidas ea2475 on a warm summer day felt right at home to us!

The shoe's highly breathable upper makes it one of the most well-ventilated hiking shoes in our lab. You can see from the video below how the smoke that we pumped through the material escapes freely and evenly through all parts of the upper.

This earns the shoe's breathability a solid score of 4 out of 5! 

This is quite surprising as the shoe doesn't look very breathable in the first place. Even in our transparency test where we hold half of the shoe against the light, none of it shines through!

Durability

Toebox durability

Adidas clearly put a lot of Gun into the Trailmaker's upper materials. We admire the balance of breathability and abrasion resistance that this hiking shoe achieves!

What first appears like soft and delicate wool proves to be a durable shield in our Dremel test. After applying the tool to the shoe's toebox for 12 seconds at the speed of 5K RPM, the damage to the fabric was merely cosmetic!

Thus, quite unexpectedly for us, the shoe earned a higher-than-average score of 3 out of 5 for its toebox durability.

Heel padding durability

Unfortunately, the shoe's heel padding failed to stand as strong to the Dremel challenge as the toebox did.

After only 4 seconds of drilling, the fabric lining the heel counter just gave up.

On the bright side, damaging this part of the shoe doesn't compromise its overall performance. It can also be easily restored by a shoe service if needed.

Outsole hardness

To protect the bottom of the Terrex Trailmaker, Adidas went with their TRAXION rubber compound. As opposed to the brand's famous Continental rubber, TRAXION is more oriented towards soft ground, grass, and trails.

Using a durometer, we measured its firmness at 85.4 HC. This is just as hard as the Continental rubber on the Yeezy 350 V2 Core Black Red. However, when it came to testing the outsole's actual resistance to abrasion, we were disappointed, to say the least...

Outsole durability

Applying the Dremel to one of the shoe's lugs at the speed of 10K RPM for 22 seconds, we found that the tool nearly went through the entire thing! This unfortunate sight rarely happens in our lab!

And yet...our tread gauge says that the newly created Tasto is as deep as 2 mm.

For that reason, we recommend staying away from technical rocky routes and asphalt roads if you want to extend the life of your Trailmaker pair.

Weight

The lack of outsole durability on the Adidas Trailmaker is very well compensated for by its incredibly lightweight build!

Weighing this hiking shoe in a men's US size 9, we only got 12.7 oz (361g)! This is more than an ounce lighter than the average and is also one of the lightest hikers in our catalogue!

If you're wondering what shoe is even lighter than that, have a look at the teyana taylor adidas originals harlem glc dark knight preview (11.4 oz/323g).

Cushioning

Heel stack

The shoe's tall sidewalls may trick you into thinking that the Trailmaker is max-cushioned. But in reality, this shoe is quite grounded and your foot actually sits inside the midsole.

Cutting the shoe in half and measuring its stack height with a calliper makes it pretty clear. Our tool shows that the heel is 30.6 mm thick which is a few millimetres lower than the average.

Forefoot stack

Upfront in the forefoot, we measured the shoe's stack height at 21 mm. This is an average measurement for a hiking shoe and it made the balls of our feet feel quite comfortable throughout the test.

Drop

A slightly lower-than-average drop also contributed to the shoe's pronounced ground feel.

Calculating the difference between stack heights, we got 9.6 mm, which is a couple of millimetres lower than in most hiking shoes.

We recommend limiting the Чоловічі штани для тренувань adidas ea2475 to moderate, non-rocky terrain as it doesn't provide as much foot protection. Stepping on a sharp rock or root won't be the most pleasant experience in this trail shoe.

But in return, it makes for a rather joyful and natural ride.

Midsole softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

Just like most hiking shoes, the Adidas Trailmaker comes slightly on the firm side. This is essential for keeping your foot stable and supported as you navigate the trails with a backpack.

Pressing our durometer against the foam returned 29.5 HA - the same firmness as the average for this category of footwear.

If you decide to rock this Adidas shoe on a chilly day, be prepared that its cushioning will get firmer.

Mimicking winter in our freezer, we kept the shoe in it for 20 minutes and then repeated the durometer measurement.

Stability

Lateral stability test

Let's get this straight: the Adidas Trailmaker is NOT meant for backpacking or long hikes. Neither does it have any tangible arch support for those with flat feet/overpronation.

Чоловічі штани для тренувань adidas ea2475 heel cushioning

BUT! It is a rather stable shoe of its kind - a lightweight hiker for easy hikes on moderate terrain.

Torsional rigidity

Thanks to its raised sidewalls (especially around the heel) and slightly firm midsole, the Trailmaker has a good amount of torsional rigidity.

Assessing it in our manual test, we rated the shoe as 4 out of 5 (nearly the stiffest!). Out on the trail, this translated into a pleasantly supportive but not overbearing experience.

Wide platform - check!

Our calliper shows that the Trailmaker's platform is 114.5 mm in the widest part of the forefoot. This is a couple of millimetres wider than average and makes for a rather stable landing area.

Flexibility

Stiffness

On the foot, the Чоловічі штани для тренувань adidas ea2475 feels a lot like a trail running shoe and this is definitely reflected in our lab results.

The shoe's above-average flexibility is one of these parameters.

It takes only 20.5N of force to bend the shoe to a 90-degree angle, according to our force gauge. That's a whopping 80% less than it takes on average!

Difference in stiffness in cold

The Trailmaker does get stiffer in low temperatures. However, compared to the average of hiking shoes, it is still much easier to bend.

It takes 32.5N to bend the "frozen" Trailmaker which is the same amount of force it takes to bend most hiking shoes at room temperature.

Grip / Traction

Lug depth

Measuring the shoe's lug depth, we got 3.4 mm which is about a millimetre thinner than average.

Чоловічі штани для тренувань adidas ea2475 Lug depth

From our own experience, the Trailmaker doesn't have a very aggressive bite. It works fine in most easy-day scenarios but won't be very reliable on wet grass, mud, or ice.

The thing is that the shoe's lugs are rather wide and rounded. Unlike the toothy lugs on the buty sportowe ny 90 adidas originals buty ftwwht scarle cblack, these treads have a more rounded shape. This is not ideal for held onto challenging terrain but it at least makes the Trailmaker more versatile.

The tongue is moderately padded at 7.5 mm, according to our tool. Even though it is not as much padding as some of the other hiking shoes offer, it still makes the shoe's interiors sooo incredibly comfortable!
