FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the BOOST midsole offers excellent cushioning, these trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. For dedicated running, specialized running shoes are recommended.
How do I clean the iridescent details?
Wipe the iridescent areas gently with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.
What does 'minimum of 50% recycled content' mean?
This means that at least half of the material used in the upper of these shoes is made from recycled sources, reducing waste and environmental impact.
Is the sizing standard UK sizing?
Yes, the listed sizes are standard UK adult foot sizes. It is recommended to check the adidas sizing chart for precise measurements if unsure.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, especially the suede and the BOOST midsole.
What is the main benefit of the BOOST midsole?
The BOOST midsole provides exceptional energy return, meaning it absorbs impact and propels you forward, offering superior comfort and reducing fatigue during wear.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. Test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel uncomfortable after initial wear.
Ensure the correct size has been selected. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Check lacing for tightness – too tight or too loose can affect comfort.
Reduced cushioning performance.
The BOOST midsole is designed for long-lasting energy return. While it doesn't require 'break-in' for cushioning, ensure the shoes are clean. Persistent issues might indicate normal wear and tear after extended use.
