Product Information
Full details
These adidas Spezial Trainers are designed for adults seeking versatile footwear that transitions from gym workouts to everyday wear. Their key benefit lies in the dual-density midsole providing stability for lifts and a durable Cordura nylon upper for flexibility. A potential caveat is their wide fit, which may require adjustment for some users. Key features include a supportive midsole, a grippy outsole for quick movements, and a blend of textile and leather materials.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The adidas Spezial Trainers are primarily designed for training and gym use, offering stability and grip. While they can be used for shorter runs, they may not provide the specialized cushioning and support required for long-distance marathon running.
What is the main advantage of the REPETITOR foam?
The REPETITOR foam in the heel provides a stiffer feel, which enhances stability during weightlifting and other exercises that require a solid foundation.
How do I know if the wide fit is right for me?
If you typically find athletic shoes too narrow, or if you have wider feet, the wide fit should be comfortable. If you have narrow feet, you might find them loose even when laced tightly.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Hand clean using the methods described in the care instructions.
What does 'Traxion outsole' mean?
A Traxion outsole features lugs specifically designed to provide optimal grip and traction on various surfaces, reducing the risk of slipping during quick movements.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The trainers are not waterproof. The Cordura nylon and leather offer some resistance to light moisture, but they are not designed for use in wet conditions.
What is Cordura nylon?
Cordura nylon is a highly durable and abrasion-resistant fabric often used in performance apparel and footwear. It provides flexibility while maintaining excellent resilience.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose despite lacing
The trainers have a wide fit. Try lacing them through the additional eyelets for a more snug fit, or consider using thicker socks.
Traction feels reduced on certain surfaces
Ensure the Traxion outsole is clean. Debris lodged in the tread can reduce grip. Clean the outsole with a damp cloth or brush.
Discomfort during prolonged wear
While designed for comfort, break-in periods may be necessary. Wear them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure socks are appropriate for athletic footwear.
Material scuffing or showing wear
Cordura nylon and leather are durable but not indestructible. Avoid excessive abrasion against rough surfaces. Clean scuffs gently with a damp cloth.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent stability for weightlifting and training.
- Durable and flexible upper material.
- Superior grip for dynamic movements.
- Comfortable fit due to wide design.
- Versatile for both athletic and casual use.
Cons
- Wide fit may not suit narrow feet.
- Primarily designed for training, may lack specialized features for specific sports.
- Requires proper lacing for optimal support.
- Black color may show scuffs more readily than lighter colors.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup beyond adjusting the laces for a personalized fit. Ensure the laces are tied securely before each use to maximize support and stability.
Compatibility: Designed for a wide range of adult foot sizes and general athletic activities. They are compatible with most standard athletic socks.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the Cordura nylon and leather with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt and debris.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Keeping them in a shoe bag can help protect them from dust.
