FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the adidas RUNFALCON 5 TR features a water-repellent mesh upper, which helps to shed light moisture and splashes, but they are not fully waterproof for heavy rain or deep puddles.
What type of terrain are these shoes best suited for?
These shoes are best suited for light to moderate trail running, mixed-surface paths, and general outdoor training. The Adiwear outsole provides reliable grip on various natural surfaces.
How should I clean my RUNFALCON 5 TR shoes?
It is recommended to hand wash your shoes. Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the exterior. For mud, let it dry and then brush it off. Avoid machine washing and allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
What is Cloudfoam?
Cloudfoam is adidas' proprietary cushioning technology designed to provide exceptional comfort and soft landings, ensuring a plush feel with every step.
What is Adiwear?
Adiwear is a highly durable, non-marking rubber used in the outsole of adidas shoes. It provides optimal balance of abrasion resistance and traction for long-lasting performance.
Can I use these shoes for road running?
While primarily designed for trails, the comfort of the Cloudfoam midsole and durability of the Adiwear outsole mean they can certainly be used for road running or walking, especially if your runs involve mixed surfaces.
What is the midsole drop of these shoes?
The adidas RUNFALCON 5 TR has a midsole drop of 10 mm, with a heel height of 34 mm and a forefoot height of 24 mm.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable during runs.
Check your lacing. Ensure it's snug but not overly tight. Consider trying different lacing techniques. Verify your shoe size against the adidas size chart, and remember a small break-in period may be needed.
Traction seems insufficient on certain trail surfaces.
Ensure the Adiwear outsole is clean and free of debris. While designed for varied terrain, extremely muddy or icy conditions might require specialized footwear. Evaluate the type of terrain you're running on.
My feet are getting wet in light rain despite the water-repellent upper.
The water-repellent mesh upper is designed for light splashes and drizzle, not heavy rain or submersion. For completely dry feet in significant wet conditions, fully waterproof shoes would be necessary. Ensure there are no tears or damage to the upper material.
Shoes are developing an unpleasant odor.
Allow your shoes to air out completely after each use. Remove insoles to facilitate drying. Consider using shoe deodorizers or stuffing them with newspaper to absorb moisture and odors. Always wear clean, moisture-wicking socks.
Discomfort or pain in feet after long periods of wear.
While the Cloudfoam midsole provides cushioning, prolonged discomfort could indicate an incorrect fit, worn-out insoles, or a need for additional arch support. Consider replacing insoles with aftermarket orthotics or consult with a footwear specialist.
