Product Information
Full details
The Adidas 4DFWD 2 trainers are engineered for runners seeking a highly responsive and technologically advanced experience during daily training sessions. Utilizing a unique 3D-printed lattice midsole, these shoes provide a smooth, energy-returning stride that sets them apart from traditional foam-based trainers. While they excel in delivering a futuristic feel and consistent support on flat, hard surfaces, runners accustomed to traditional cushion might find the unique structure requires a short adjustment period to fully appreciate the gait mechanics.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, they are designed for daily training and can handle the mileage required for long-distance prep, provided you enjoy a firmer, responsive ride.
How do I choose the right size?
The Adidas 4DFWD 2 fits true to standard athletic sizing. If you have worn other Adidas running shoes, select your usual size.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can compromise the structural integrity of the lattice midsole and the adhesive bonds of the shoe.
What is the primary benefit of the lattice midsole?
The primary benefit is energy return; it redirects the vertical force of your stride into a forward-pushing motion.
Are these effective for trail running?
No, these are designed for road and track surfaces. The lattice structure is not optimized for uneven terrain or off-road conditions.
How long should these trainers last?
Durability is high, though it depends on your running style and the surfaces you use. Typically, expect them to perform well for 300 to 500 miles.
Troubleshooting
Debris stuck in midsole lattice
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge the object. Avoid using sharp metal tools that could damage the 3D-printed structure.
Upper material losing shape
Ensure you are using the correct size; if the material is stretched, avoid machine washing and instead use a shoe tree to help maintain the structural integrity.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for performance; if slipping occurs, reduce speed and increase cadence to maintain better contact surface area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 4DFWD 2 trainers last, proper care is essential. Since the lattice midsole features open geometry, avoid exposing the shoes to excessive mud, sharp rocks, or debris, as these can lodge in the structure and be difficult to extract. If the shoes become dirty, clean them by wiping the upper with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. For the midsole, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris from between the lattice cells. Always air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp synthetic materials and adhesives.
