FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Primeknit upper offers some stretch and adaptability, but the midfoot cage provides a more structured fit. For very wide feet, it's recommended to try them on or consider models specifically designed for wider fits.
What is the main benefit of the 'Light' version?
The 'Light' designation refers to a significant reduction in weight compared to previous Ultra Boost models, enhancing agility and reducing fatigue during runs.
How does the reduced carbon footprint work?
The shoe achieves a 10% reduction in carbon footprint through the use of recycled materials in the upper and optimizations in the manufacturing process.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While the cushioning is excellent for running, the shoe's design is optimized for forward motion. For lateral movements or weightlifting in the gym, a shoe with more lateral stability might be preferable.
What is the 'End plastic waste' message on the insole?
This is a statement from adidas highlighting their commitment to sustainability and reducing plastic pollution.
How does the TPU cage help?
The TPU cage is integrated with the eye stays to provide targeted support around the midfoot, ensuring a secure and locked-down feel during your run.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces significantly, especially around the midfoot. Ensure the Primeknit upper is not bunched up and try re-lacing for a more customized fit. If the issue persists, consider a half-size larger.
Slight slippage in the heel
Ensure the laces are tied securely, using a runner's knot if necessary to create a tighter heel lock. Check that the heel counter is properly aligned with your Achilles.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Boost cushioning is designed for durability, but performance can be affected by heavy soiling. Clean the midsole as per care instructions. Ensure the shoe is used for its intended purpose (running).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly by adjusting the laces through the eye stays and over the TPU cage. The fit should be secure but not constricting.
Compatibility: Suitable for all adult male runners. The sizing is based on UK men's foot sizes.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the Primeknit upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt and debris from the Boost midsole and rubber outsole. Stubborn marks can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Laundering: While not recommended for machine washing, if absolutely necessary, use a gentle cycle with cold water and remove insoles and laces. Always air dry afterwards.
