FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

These are training shoes designed primarily for stability and support during activities like weightlifting and cross-training. They are not optimized for the cushioning and motion control required for running.

How do I know if the wide fit is right for me?

A wide fit is generally beneficial if you find standard width shoes too constricting, especially across the ball of your foot. Trying them on or comparing with your current footwear can help determine suitability.

What is the REPETITOR midsole made of?

The REPETITOR midsole is a component designed by adidas to provide durable cushioning and stability, supporting the foot during training movements.

Can I wear these shoes for everyday casual use?

While comfortable, these shoes are built for performance. For everyday casual wear, you might find more comfort and style in dedicated lifestyle or casual footwear.

What is the main advantage of the rubber outsole?

The rubber outsole offers reliable traction and durability, providing a stable grip on various indoor training surfaces, which is crucial for preventing slips during dynamic exercises.

How should I clean the textile upper?

Gently clean the textile upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow to air dry completely away from heat.

What other sizes and colors are available?

This specific product is for size UK 14.5 in Grey/Orange. Other sizes and colorways, including different models like the Dropset Control series, may be available from adidas.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces, particularly over the forefoot. If the width is the issue, consider if the wide fit is sufficient or if alternative models might be better suited.

Lack of grip during workouts

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris like dust or mud. The outsole is designed for gym surfaces; performance on wet or uneven outdoor surfaces may be reduced.

Discomfort after extended wear

Verify lacing technique for even pressure distribution. Ensure the correct size and fit are being used. If discomfort persists, consider the suitability of the shoe for prolonged activities beyond typical training sessions.
