Skychaser: Made to Do More
Confidence in all conditions — from first steps to seasons in. Skychaser AX5 GTX keeps you dry, secure and comfortable.
Protection
GORE-TEX guaranteed to keep you dry, with ripstop and abrasion-resistant upper for added protection from hard wear.
Control
Continental Rubber outsole means traction in wet and dry conditions, whatever surface you find beneath your feet.
Comfort
Lightmotion lightweight cushioning provides sublime all-day comfort and responsiveness in various surroundings.
As a versatile outdoor shoe, the Skychaser is suitable for city streets to mountain trails. With the peace-of-mind protection of GORE-TEX guaranteed to keep you dry and a reliable Continental rubber outsole, you can go anywhere in Skychaser.
When choosing hiking shoes, aim for a fit that is snug all over, without being tight, and allows you to wiggle your toes. If shoes are too tight, they can be uncomfortable and cause blisters. Shoes that are too loose might cause your feet to slip, resulting in chafing. The Skychaser AX5 features Lightmotion lightweight cushioning for all day comfort that connects you directly to the terrain with superb responsiveness.
Carefully wipe away any dirt with a soft cloth and lukewarm water, but no detergent. If you want to remove dirt from inside your GORE-TEX footwear, you can use lukewarm water and a small amount of liquid detergent, or a specific functional clothing detergent.
Prepared with intention.
Every product is carefully inspected and handled by our team before it ships. From fit and function to final details, we make sure each piece is ready for the outdoors ahead—so you can focus on the experience, not the gear.
