FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for serious running?
Yes, the adidas Ultraboost 1.0 with its BOOST midsole and Continental Rubber outsole is designed for performance running, offering excellent cushioning, energy return, and grip for various distances and training types. They are suitable for both casual and more dedicated runners.
How do I determine the correct size?
The Ultraboost 1.0 generally runs true to size. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit, especially considering the adaptive PRIMEKNIT upper. Ensure your toes have a small amount of space at the front and the heel feels secure due to the Fitcounter.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
The Continental Rubber outsole provides good traction on wet surfaces. However, the PRIMEKNIT upper is a textile material and is not waterproof. While it can handle light moisture, heavy rain will likely penetrate the knit, making your feet wet. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy wet conditions.
What is 'BOOST technology'?
BOOST technology refers to the innovative midsole material developed by adidas. It consists of thousands of small thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) energy capsules molded together. This construction provides incredibly soft cushioning and superior energy return, offering a springy, responsive feel with every stride.
How do these shoes contribute to sustainability?
The adidas Ultraboost 1.0 utilizes yarns in its PRIMEKNIT upper that contain at least 50% Parley Ocean Plastic and 50% recycled polyester. This initiative helps to repurpose plastic waste collected from oceans and reduces reliance on virgin polyester, supporting environmental conservation efforts.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the insoles in the adidas Ultraboost 1.0 are typically removable. This allows for customization with personal orthotics if needed, or for easier cleaning and airing out of the shoes.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel too warm during activity.
While the PRIMEKNIT upper is breathable, prolonged intense activity in very hot conditions can cause warmth. Consider wearing thinner, moisture-wicking socks. Ensure the laces are not overly tight, which can restrict airflow.
The shoe feels a bit tight around the toes.
The PRIMEKNIT upper is designed to be adaptive. Allow for a short break-in period. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size. The fit should be snug but not restrictive. You can also try re-lacing to ensure even pressure distribution.
There's a squeaking sound when I walk.
A squeaking sound can sometimes come from the insole rubbing against the bottom of the shoe. Try removing the insole and dusting a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch underneath it. If the sound persists, inspect the outsole for any foreign objects lodged in the treads or significant wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting Started

- Initial Wear: Wear your Ultraboost 1.0 for short periods initially to allow your feet to adapt to the PRIMEKNIT upper and BOOST midsole. The sock-like fit should feel comfortable immediately, but a brief break-in period can ensure perfect comfort.
Compatibility
- Activities: The Ultraboost 1.0 is compatible with a wide range of activities including: road running, walking, light trail use, gym workouts, cross-training, and casual everyday wear.
- Surfaces: The Continental Rubber outsole provides excellent grip on dry and moderately wet asphalt, concrete, and indoor gym surfaces.
- Apparel: Designed to complement athletic wear, active casual attire, and even smart-casual outfits due to its sleek design.
Product Care
Proper care extends the life of your Ultraboost 1.0:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the adidas PRIMEKNIT textile upper, gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a mild soap mixed with cool water and a soft cloth or sponge. Lightly dab and wipe the affected areas. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the knit material and adhesives.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe the BOOST midsole and Continental Rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush and mild soap can be used.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not put them in a dryer.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. If storing for extended periods, consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Submerging: While durable, it's best to avoid fully submerging the shoes in water to protect the integrity of the materials and adhesives.
