Outstanding Comfort and Grip for Backpacking!
I recently purchased the adidas Men's Terrex Ax3 for my son to use during our backpacking trip, and I couldn’t be happier with how well they performed. These shoes have proven to be an excellent choice for rugged outdoor adventures.First and foremost, the comfort of these shoes is exceptional. My son found them to be incredibly supportive and comfortable right out of the box. The cushioning and fit are perfect for long hikes, providing the right balance of support and flexibility. He mentioned that the shoes felt great even after hours of trekking, with no discomfort or blisters.The grip on these shoes is also impressive. The outsole provides excellent traction on various terrains, from rocky paths to muddy trails. My son felt confident and secure with every step, thanks to the reliable grip that kept him steady and safe throughout the hike.Additionally, the durability and build quality of the Terrex Ax3 are top-notch. They held up well to the rough conditions of the trail and showed no signs of wear and tear. The design is also stylish and functional, making them versatile for both hiking and casual wear.In summary, the adidas Men's Terrex Ax3 are a fantastic investment for anyone looking for comfortable and reliable hiking shoes. My son’s positive experience with their comfort and grip makes them highly recommended for any backpacking or outdoor adventure. Highly recommended for their exceptional performance and quality!

Good quality shoes
Great design, nice material, seems durable, let's see on long term. They need a bit of a break in period, the soles are a bit stiff, but after a while they are very comfortable even on sturdy surfaces.

Good rugged work/hiking sneaker, not as breathable as hoped
I bought 3 pairs of trail running/walking shoes to use as work shoes on my small urban farm. I prefer trail running sneakers for this type of work because they tend to be more breathable, lighter, and easier to slip on/off than work boots. I work 12-14 hrs a day, on my feet 90% of the time, so a light weight shoe is a huge benefit. I don’t use tractors or other motorized equipment on the farm so I’m not particularly worried about buying a shoe to protect my feet from serious injury, making heavy boots overkill most of the time.The 3 shoes I bought were these ASICS Frequent Trail Running shoes, Columbia Fairbanks Low Sneaker, and these Adidas Terrex Ax3. I bought all in size 10.5, which is my normal sneaker size, and I tend to wear size 10 in hiking/work boots. I’ve bought 2 types of Adidas Terrex sneakers in the past - the CC Voyager in size 10.5, which was my absolute favorite shoe (but the most minimal), and the Tracerocker Trail Running shoe, which fit tight in the toe box area to the point where I probably should have returned them to get a size 11.After a week of daily use on the farm, here is how these Ax3 trail running shoes compare to the above mentioned shoes. Much more rugged than the ASICS or Tracerockers, the least breathable compared to all the other shoes, good heavy duty tread, and the best cushioning between the heal and ankle. The toe box is almost too tight, but not nearly as much as the Tracerockers (but my toes really splay out so this might not be a concern for others). Also the poor breathability was kinda a bummer but it’s a bit of a trade off since these are the most “substantial” of all the shoes, making these a great choice for rugged trail hiking, or in my case, work on the farm. They don’t seem to have good arch support, but the sole is thick rubber, making them a good choice for when I’m doing construction and walking around nails/screws. Also there is extra protection around the outside footbed and a decent toecap - while not a composite or steel toe, this heavy rubber outer layer gives an extra bit of safety and I wouldn’t be too worried about dropping a moderately heavy object on my toes while wearing these shoes (think a log/concrete block/wooden post, etc).All in all I’m very happy with these shoes, I just need to swap them out for another pair half way through the day to let my feet breath a bit.

Very Durable, Comfortable Walking and Yard Work Shoes
I've owned several sets of these shoes from 2019 and an earlier, similar model Adidas shoe from 2017. Each set of these shoes has lasted me 3 to 4 years. I wear the shoes new walking around the neighborhood from two to four miles a night for about two years, and then retire a set for a year or two, wearing them for yard work, before finally throwing them out. The shoes are very durable both to the hundreds of miles of walking and the yard work that usually ends up with them soaking wet from walking through wet grass or accidentally sprinkling them with the hose. Very expensive New Balance shoes subjected to the same degree of torture usually fall apart within the first year or two. These shoes are great shoes in that they are relatively inexpensive, they are comfortable, and very durable, IMHO, for the price. I usually replace the Adidas insoles with Dr. Scholl's insoles for a little bit of extra "cushy" feeling.

Great product great price.
Excellent quality. Great price. Two negatives: they are very warm so less comfortable in warmer months and they are very stiff.

Comfortable shoes and good quality
Quality of materials is good for today's standards. They fit good and the toe box needs some breaking before feeling comfortable. The rubber sole is also of good quality, sturdy and with a solid grip especially when hiking or walking in general. I like the waterproof technology even though I don't understand if it's the fabric or a special coating applied to it. The shoes are overall comfortable and at the moment do not need any inserts. Probably they will, the ones they come with are somewhat thin but that is still to be seen. I also wear them to work for long hours standing and walking as floor restaurant shift manager and have no complaints about.

Take A Beating And Keep On Kicking
These held up well, regardless of what torture I put them through - I've purchased two pairs so far. They don't seem to break in too quickly if I had to nitpick but its difficult to beat for the price.
