Product Information
Full details
The Adidas 4DFWD 2 trainers are high-performance athletic shoes designed for adult runners who prioritize comfort and advanced cushioning. The core benefit of this model is the innovative 4D midsole technology, which provides a unique, responsive support structure that translates vertical impact into forward motion. While these trainers excel in performance and feature a versatile white and black aesthetic suitable for casual wear, users should note that the specialized lattice-style midsole requires specific care to keep clean compared to traditional foam soles.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The 4DFWD 2 offers significant support. However, if you require specific medical orthotics, consult with a podiatrist regarding compatibility with the 4D midsole.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the adhesive and structural integrity of the 4D lattice. Clean manually with a damp cloth.
What is the primary difference between these and standard foam trainers?
Standard trainers rely on foam compression; the 4DFWD 2 uses a lattice geometry that specifically redirects energy forward, offering a distinct 'propulsion' feel.
Are these true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK sizes. If you prefer extra room for thicker socks, some users prefer a half-size up.
Are these shoes waterproof?
They are not marketed as waterproof. The upper materials are breathable, which means water can penetrate during heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Debris lodged in the 4D midsole lattice
Use a soft brush to gently dislodge the particles. Do not use sharp metal objects which could puncture the lattice structure.
Feeling of 'instability' during initial runs
The 4D sole has a different compression pattern than standard foam. Allow 3-5 runs for your foot and gait to adjust to the energy return profile.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Adidas 4DFWD 2 trainers perform optimally, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure you select your standard UK sizing, as the 4D construction is designed to conform to the foot over time.
- Initial Break-in: Wear them for short walks before long runs to allow the lattice structure to adapt to your specific gait.
- Cleaning: Due to the open-cell structure of the 4D midsole, debris can get stuck in the lattice. Use a soft-bristle brush or a damp cloth to gently clean out any dirt from the gaps. Avoid using harsh chemicals or industrial washing machines, which can compromise the integrity of the material.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration of the white materials.
