FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?

While the Adios 9 features running-inspired technology like Lightstrike Pro cushioning, they are primarily designed for training and everyday wear. For dedicated long-distance running, specialized running shoes might offer more targeted support and features.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

The trainers are noted to run true to size with a regular fit. It is recommended to consult a size chart and measure your foot length if unsure. The provided UK sizes are standard. Based on the product information, they are available in various UK sizes, including UK 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 6.5, 9.5, 10, 11.5, and 12.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from a durable ripstop and technical fabric blend, offering both breathability and resilience.

What is the sole height?

The sole height measures 3 cm at its highest point.

How should I clean the Lightstrike Pro midsole?

Wipe the midsole with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or submerging the shoes in water to maintain the integrity of the cushioning material.

Do these trainers come in other colorways?

The primary colorway described is black with off-white accents and a white three-stripe motif. Specific availability of other colorways may vary.

Can the designer's signature on the heel be easily damaged?

The signature is part of the shoe's design detail. Gentle cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended. Avoid abrasive materials or excessive rubbing to preserve the detail.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight/loose.

Adjust the lacing system. For a tighter fit, ensure laces are evenly distributed and pulled snug. For a looser fit, slacken the laces, particularly over the midfoot and toe box.

Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.

Ensure the lugged rubber outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. For optimal grip, wipe the soles with a dry cloth before use on wet surfaces. Note that no outsole is completely slip-proof.

Discoloration on the fabric.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, and always air dry away from direct heat.
