FAQs
Are these shoes good for running?
The adidas Dropset Control Trainers are primarily designed for weightlifting and strength training. While they can handle short bursts of movement, they are not optimized for long-distance running due to their stable, supportive construction.
What makes the fit 'wide'?
The 'wide fit' refers to a broader base and more volume in the forefoot and midfoot areas, designed to provide a more comfortable and stable platform for individuals with naturally wider feet or those who prefer extra room during lifts.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Gently clean the mesh upper with a soft brush or cloth and a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals. Allow to air dry completely.
Can I use these for CrossFit?
Yes, the adidas Dropset Control Trainers are well-suited for many CrossFit WODs (Workout of the Day) that include weightlifting, squats, and Olympic lifts due to their stability and support. They may be less ideal for activities solely focused on high-impact cardio or extensive running.
What is the TPU midfoot torsion system?
The TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) midfoot torsion system is an internal support structure that connects the heel to the forefoot. It enhances stability and provides support during dynamic movements, preventing excessive twisting of the shoe.
How durable is the rubber outsole?
The rubber outsole is designed for durability and traction on gym surfaces, intended to withstand the rigors of regular training sessions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight in the toe box
The Dropset Control trainers have a wide fit. If they still feel tight, ensure you have the correct size. For minor tightness, wearing them for short periods may help break them in. If the width is fundamentally unsuitable, consider an alternative model.
Slipping during lateral movements
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris that could impede traction. Check that the laces are securely tied to provide a snug fit. The TPU torsion system is designed to help, but excessive slipping may indicate the shoes are not the right fit for extremely dynamic activities beyond their intended scope.
Mesh upper feels less supportive than desired
The mesh upper prioritizes breathability. Ensure laces are tied properly to maximize lockdown. If more rigid support is needed for specific activities, consider a shoe designed with more robust upper materials.

Care: To maintain the condition of your adidas Dropset Control Trainers:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and sweat. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap diluted with water and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
