FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The mesh upper offers some flexibility, but the fit is generally considered standard. If you have very wide feet, it's recommended to try them on or check reviews specifically mentioning width.
Can I wear these for marathon running?
Yes, the Pureboost 5 is suitable for marathon running due to its comfort and energy return, especially for neutral runners. However, runners seeking maximum stability or a highly specific racing feel might consider other models.
How much recycled material is in each pair?
The shoes incorporate at least 20% recycled materials in the upper and other components. The exact percentage may vary slightly by production batch.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and light rain but not for prolonged exposure to wet environments.
What is the main difference between Pureboost 5 and previous versions?
While specific differences vary by model year, the Pureboost 5 typically refines the cushioning, upper material, and outsole design for enhanced comfort, flexibility, and durability over its predecessors.
Can I put these in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash the Pureboost 5 trainers. Hand washing with mild soap and water, followed by air drying, is the best method to maintain their integrity and performance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing them with different types of socks. The mesh upper will offer some flexibility, but proper sizing is key.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
BOOST cushioning is designed for durability, but like all foams, it can gradually compress. Regular cleaning and avoiding extreme heat can help maintain its properties longer.
Grip issues on wet surfaces
While the Adiwear outsole provides good grip, performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces can be reduced. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris for optimal traction.
