FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are primarily designed for strength training and gym-based activities. They offer excellent stability and support for lifting but may lack the cushioning and flexibility required for comfortable and effective running.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The trainers are designed to fit true to size. We recommend ordering your usual shoe size. Ensure there is a comfortable amount of space in the toe box and that the heel is secure without slipping.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. Cleaning should be done by wiping with a damp cloth to avoid damaging the materials and construction of the shoe.
What does the 'Torsion System' do?
The Torsion System provides optimal support during dynamic movements, allowing the forefoot and rearfoot to move independently while ensuring the midfoot remains stable. This enhances agility and control.
What is the 'REPETITOR midsole'?
The REPETITOR midsole is engineered to offer enhanced cushioning and a stable feel, contributing to the overall supportive structure of the shoe during training.
Are these available in other colors?
Yes, the Adidas Dropset Control series is available in various colors and styles. Please check other listings for alternative options.
What is the intended use for these trainers?
These trainers are intended for adult male training, specifically for activities that require stability and support, such as weightlifting, strength training, and general gym workouts.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. The standard fit is designed for most adult feet, but if you have unusually narrow or wide feet, consider trying a different model. Adjust the lacing to achieve a snug but comfortable fit.
Lack of grip during exercises
Check the rubber outsole for excessive dirt or debris. Clean the sole with a damp cloth. Ensure the gym surface you are training on is also clean and dry. For optimal grip, the shoes should be used on appropriate indoor surfaces.
Discomfort during lateral movements
The Torsion System is designed to support dynamic movements. If you experience discomfort, double-check that the shoes are laced correctly and that the size is appropriate. The wide fit and stable midsole are intended to enhance stability, so ensure your technique is also contributing to balanced movement.
