FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

These trainers are primarily designed for stability during training activities like weightlifting and gym workouts. While they offer some support, they are not optimized for long-distance running and may lack the necessary cushioning and flexibility.

What does 'REPETITOR midsole' mean?

The REPETITOR midsole is an adidas technology designed to provide enhanced stability and responsiveness, offering a firm foundation for lifting and dynamic movements.

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

If you typically find standard-width shoes constrictive, or if you have naturally wider feet, the wide fit should be comfortable. If you have narrow feet, they might feel too loose.

Can these shoes be worn in wet conditions?

The rubber outsole provides grip, but the textile upper is not waterproof. They are best used in dry conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

What is the main benefit of the rubber outsole?

The rubber outsole is engineered to provide durable traction and stability on a variety of training surfaces, ensuring your feet stay planted during exercises.

How should I clean the textile upper?

Gently wipe the textile upper with a damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild soap and water solution applied with a cloth, then rinse with a clean damp cloth. Always air dry.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and adjust them for a more comfortable fit. If the width is the issue, consider if the wide fit suits your foot shape.

Laces come undone frequently

Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. Check if the laces are worn or excessively slippery; consider replacing them if necessary.

Traction feels insufficient

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. For particularly slick surfaces, be mindful of the shoe's limitations.

Discomfort during long wear

Ensure proper lacing technique. For prolonged wear or specific foot needs, consider using supportive insoles.
