It’s hard to review footwear if you haven’t actually worn them. Love the original Free Hikers, they are my go to hiking shoe, forever! Was wondering if the new shoes are as comfortable? Looking forward to part 2.

Exactly, which is why I’ll never call something a review unless I’ve had enough time of use to give one. They’re also my favorite hiking shoe 👌🏼 thank you for watching 🙏🏼

Hey you probably know this by now, but the foam midsole on these is called "Boost". The adidas "Ultraboost" is a running shoe that also uses Boost foam

I bought the Free Hiker 2 GoreTex today. Though the Boots feel like rugged and Hard on the outside due to the Gtx membrane they’re extremely comfortable. Really happy with my purchase. I got them for 50% off due to the Boxing Week sale. The Winters up here in Canada do get a bit rough reason why I wrnt with the GoreTex version.

Does your Free Hiker 2 GoreTex keep your feet dry in snow? I'm from Hawai'i going to Finland in a few months and we're planning snow activities. I have no clue about winter gear haha.

@@jcgerard The Free Hiker 2 are extremely comfortable. Though for Snow Activities I’d recommend the Cold Dry Shoes from Adidas.

The goretex version is the best looking hiking shoe you can get in my opinion. I like youre color of choice, the linen green. Its the same one i chose.

I think I personally like the look of the knit version better but in terms of a more rugged hiking boot, I’d agree with you 🙌🏼 thank you! And thanks for watching/commenting

Hi Alex, I'm interested to hear your opinion on the Gen 2 models after wearing them for some time. I'm a huge fan of Terrex in general and especially of the Free Hiker shoes. I am on my 3rd pair of Gen 1 GTX right now and I've regretted not buying more models earlier. The oldest ones are now falling apart after 3 years of really heavy use (2.500 kms), so I have now bought some Gen 2 non-GTX, Gen 2 GTX as well as Gen 1 non-GTX .. My verdict is: Gen 1 non-GTX was a bit more wobbly compared to the GTX, but I will wear them now when I'm not walking through wet grass or puddles, because supply of Gen 1 GTX is getting worse now. Gen 1 GTX is just a dream, the perfect shoe, for everyday use as well as light to heavy hiking, especially long distance. Gen 2 non-GTX feels similar to the Gen 1 GTX regarding the fit, and this will probably become my new favourite everyday shoe. I haven't yet come into situations where I might regret choosing them, like long walks through wet grass, so I'm curious how they will fare there. Gen 2 GTX feels, as you predicted here, much more like a big, serious boot, because of the different construction around the ankle. I also think they are a little bit smaller, like-for-like, so some might need to buy them half a size bigger than the Gen 1. My recommendation to you would be to try and grab some of the Gen 1 GTX versions as long as you can - there are a few new ones left on the market, but supply is disappearing fast. Highly recommended! Amazing shoe. I have just bought 3 more pairs of Gen 1 GTX ...

Thanks for the comment! I never have owned a pair of gen 1 GTX but will have to take a look. My verdict on the gen 2 non-GTX is that I like the look better but I believe the gen 1 are better quality than gen 2. I use the heel pull tab on gen 1 and pull hard to get my shoe on - never had any problem. On the gen 2’s I noticed that the inside stitching ripped on one of them from pulling on that heel tab. The same quality just isn’t there. In terms of the gen 2 GTX, I love them. I can’t compare them to the older version because like I said, I’ve never owned them. But I took the GTX model on a hike through a bunch of mud, rocky terrain and even some stream crosses and they held up great and were super comfortable. Not a shoe I see myself wearing on an everyday basis though, whereas with the non-GTX version I would.

does the continental branding mean the bottom holds up better? I do a lot of walking on pavement and I have the Terrex Voyagers without the Continental branding and they are wearing down faster than expected. I would buy these Free Hikers if they held a bit better.
@afbelardi

Supposedly, it does. However I've never owned a pair of Terrex that didn't have the Continental branding, so I have nothing to compare it to. After a couple years of use, one of my pair's soles were a bit worn. Mostly towards the toe

Will the terrex hikers be do-able for walking outside in the rain?
@afbelardi
@afbelardi 8 месяцев назад
Yes for sure. It’s more of the deeper puddles they won’t do well in, whereas with the GTX I was able to submerge the shoe underwater in a stream on my last hike and no water got through
