What You're Actually Getting
The Terrex Anylander is Adidas's attempt at a proper hiking shoe rather than a trail runner pretending to be one. Rain.Rdy is their waterproof membrane tech, and honestly it does a reasonable job. Not Gore-Tex, so temper expectations slightly, but for your average muddy footpath or a soggy weekend in the Lakes, it holds up well enough.
The sole has enough grip to feel confident on wet root-covered paths. The fit runs fairly true to size, though if you've got a wider foot you might find the toe box a touch snug. Worth trying in person if you can.
Who This Is Actually For
This is a shoe for the casual to moderate hiker. Someone who does a few walks a month, fancies something more capable than their old trainers, but isn't planning multi-day scrambles in the Cairngorms. A mate of mine picked up a similar Terrex model last autumn, wore them straight out the box on a wet Dartmoor day, and came back genuinely impressed. No blisters, no soggy socks.
If you're a serious hillwalker, you'll probably want a stiffer boot with proper ankle support. These are low-cut shoes, not boots. That matters.
The Honest Reservation
There's no listed original price here, so it's harder to frame the value properly. At £45 or so, it's a fair entry point for an Adidas waterproof hiking shoe. But do check current sizing availability before you get too excited. Stock can be patchy at this price.
