FAQs
What type of running is this shoe best for?
The adidas Supernova Glide Trainers are best suited for road running and everyday training. They offer a balance of cushioning and responsiveness for daily mileage.
What is the heel-to-forefoot drop, and what does it mean?
The heel-to-forefoot drop is 7mm. This refers to the height difference between the heel and the forefoot cushioning. A 7mm drop is considered moderate and often suits neutral runners.
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
No, these trainers are designed primarily for paved surfaces like roads and paths. The outsole is not optimized for the varied terrain and grip required for trail running.
How do I clean my Supernova Glide Trainers?
Gently clean the shoes with a soft brush or cloth using cold water and mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
What is the weight of these trainers?
The adidas Supernova Glide Trainers weigh approximately 240 grams, making them a lightweight option for your runs.
Can I use these for racing?
While they offer good performance, they are designed more as a daily trainer for mileage and comfort rather than a specialized racing flat. For dedicated race performance, you might consider lighter, more performance-oriented shoes.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If still tight, consider if the 'regular fit' is suitable for your foot width.
Slight discomfort during first few runs
This can be normal as the shoes break in. Wear them for shorter runs initially and gradually increase distance. Ensure correct lacing technique.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides good traction, but performance on very wet surfaces may be reduced. Clean the outsole regularly to remove debris that could affect grip.
