FAQs

What type of training are these shoes best for?

These adidas Dropset Control trainers are ideal for general cross-training, gym workouts, and agility drills that require good stability and traction.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

Refer to the size chart provided by adidas or the retailer. Typically, UK sizing for men's shoes is standard, but always double-check if unsure.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning.

Are these shoes suitable for running long distances?

While they offer cushioning, these trainers are primarily designed for training activities. For dedicated long-distance running, specialized running shoes are recommended.

What does 'REPETITOR midsole' mean?

REPETITOR is a midsole compound used by adidas that provides responsive cushioning and energy return, designed to support performance during training.

How should I care for the textile upper?

Wipe the textile upper with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a small amount of mild soap and water, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry.

Troubleshooting

Laces come undone frequently.

Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. If the lace material is particularly smooth, consider replacing them with laces that have more grip.

Feet feel uncomfortable or experience rubbing.

Check the lacing for tightness; it might be too tight or too loose in certain areas. Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. If the issue persists, the wide fit may not be ideal for your foot shape.

Traction is poor on certain surfaces.

Clean the rubber outsole using a damp cloth and a soft brush to remove any embedded dirt or debris that could be affecting grip.
