Adidas CF232 Men's Terrex Fast X Mid GTX Boot Reviews

Customer Ratings:

Maybe after trying this style on in the store I ordered a half-size bigger, but these are very comfortable

hiking boots! I mostly used them this winter for getting around in the snow. They're waterproof so my

feet stayed dry and warm. I like the styling and the neat lace up mechanism. No laces dragging around

to get muddy or wet!

Honest reviews on Adidas CF232 Men's Terrex Fast X Mid GTX Boot

I bought these (adidas Terrex Fast X Mid GTX) in January for a planned 800 mile hike of the El Camino Real in California. I was skeptical of the fast-lace system but adidas has always done well by me so I trusted them. After wearing the bots on local hikes for four months I set off on my big journey in May. By the time I had walked from Sonoma to Salinas there was trouble with the laces not releasing from the little "dongles" that clamp them. A few times I thought I would have to cut the laces to get the boots off but with a great deal of effort they eventually came free.

At that point I wrote to adidas customer service and explained the trouble I was having. I pointed out that, as I was hundreds of miles from home in the middle of an 800 mile trek I would be in huge trouble if these boots gave out. The useless response from adidas advised me to try to return the bots to the original retailer (Amazon) and said if I had trouble there adidas would provide an RMA for a return and credit. The clerk obviously never read the pertinent information in my email.

At any rate, a few days later when I arrived in Soledad and removed my boots one of the laces snapped. Since this is a closed-loop fast-lace system, replacement is impossible. I just had time to go online to Amazon and order a new pair of New Balance Dunham boots for next-day delivery to Greenfield, my next stop. I cut off the shredded portion of the broken lace, backed it off a couple of eyelets and tied an old-fashioned knot, which surprised me by holding out for the 14 mile walk. Before leaving Greenfield for King City I mailed the adidas boots home so that I could deal with returning them to Amazon/adidas when I returned home in another month plus. To Amazon's credit when I contacted Customer Service they waived the usual return period and accepted my return for a full refund.

I do have to give the adidas Terrex credit for holding up well other than the lacing system. The soles and uppers look like new and they were fairly comfortable, although they did pinch my little pinkies badly enough to turn both toenails black. I must say the Dunham by New Balance Men's MCR6630G Cloud Mid Cut Boot surpassed the adidas Terrex in comfort, having a much wider toe box that no longer tortured my little toes. I did have to go back to actually lacing and tying my boots again, but I finished the remaining 500+ miles without further boot-related incident.

So, if you want a comfortable, GoreTex lined, lightweight boot and don't mind a narrow toe box, you could do a lot worse than these adidas so long as you get the ones with normal laces.

I love these shoes. They are easy to get on and are fairly comfortable. The one foot was a little uncomfortable at first but is starting to fit better. All in all they are good shoes.
