FAQs
What makes the Ultraboost Light different from other Ultraboost models?
The primary difference is the use of Light BOOST foam, which is 30% lighter than previous BOOST materials, making this the lightest Ultraboost ever while maintaining excellent energy return and cushioning.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the lightweight design and high energy return make them excellent for marathon running, helping to reduce fatigue over long distances.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with mild soap and a damp cloth is the preferred method to preserve the integrity of the materials and cushioning.
What is the purpose of Continental™ Rubber in the outsole?
Continental™ Rubber is a high-performance material known for its exceptional grip and durability, similar to the rubber used in tires. It provides reliable traction in both dry and wet conditions.
Are these trainers good for wide feet?
The Primeknit+ upper offers a degree of adaptability. While it conforms to the foot, individuals with significantly wide feet might find the fit snug. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consider the sizing carefully.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shoe should feel snug but not tight. There should be a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Ensure your heel does not slip excessively during normal walking.
What does '30% lighter BOOST material' mean for performance?
It means the midsole foam itself weighs less, contributing to an overall lighter shoe. This reduces the effort required to lift your feet with each step, leading to less fatigue and potentially faster times.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or constricting.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. The Primeknit+ upper is designed to be snug; if it feels uncomfortable, try wearing thinner socks or check if the lacing can be adjusted for a looser fit without compromising support.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.
While the Continental™ Rubber offers excellent grip, extreme wet conditions can challenge any outsole. Ensure the outsole is free of debris. For significantly wet conditions, consider specialized trail running shoes if available.
Midsole cushioning feels less pronounced over time.
BOOST foam is known for its durability and long-lasting cushioning. If you notice a significant decrease, ensure the shoes have not been exposed to extreme heat, which can degrade the foam. Regular cleaning can also help maintain material integrity.
