FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
No, the adidas Runfalcon 5 TR shoes are designed with water-repellent materials in the upper, meaning they resist water in light rain and splashes. They are not fully waterproof and would not keep your feet dry in heavy downpours or when submerged.
What type of terrain are these shoes best suited for?
These shoes are specifically designed for 'off-track running,' making them ideal for trails, gravel paths, and uneven natural terrains. The lugged Adiwear outsole provides optimal grip on such surfaces.
What is Cloudfoam technology?
Cloudfoam is an adidas technology that provides a holistic comfort experience. It's a soft EVA compound in the midsole that offers ultra-soft cushioning and excellent energy return, designed to make every step feel comfortable and supportive.
Are these shoes environmentally friendly?
Yes, these shoes are partially made with recycled materials, reflecting adidas's commitment to sustainability and reducing environmental impact.
How should I clean my Runfalcon 5 TR shoes?
Info needed: [Specific cleaning instructions for textile/synthetic running shoes, including details on whether any specific cleaning products or methods (e.g., hand wash, air dry) are recommended by adidas.] Generally, remove loose dirt with a soft brush, then wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals or machine washing.
Can I use these shoes for road running?
While primarily designed for trail running, you can certainly use them for short stretches of road running or light jogs. However, their outsole is optimized for off-road grip, so they might not offer the same smooth ride or specialized cushioning as a dedicated road running shoe.
What is the Adiwear outsole made of?
The Adiwear outsole is made from a highly durable, non-marking rubber compound. It's engineered to provide robust traction and excellent wear resistance, particularly important for the challenging conditions of trail running.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel less grippy on very wet or muddy trails.
While the Adiwear outsole offers superior grip, extremely slick conditions can challenge any shoe. Slow your pace, shorten your stride, and focus on placing your feet deliberately. Remember, the water-repellent upper is for light rain, not submersion.
Feet feel slightly damp after running in light rain.
The shoes are water-repellent, meaning they resist water penetration in light conditions. If water has still seeped in, it might be due to water entering from the ankle opening, or prolonged exposure. Ensure your socks are also appropriate for wet conditions. For heavy rain, a fully waterproof shoe is recommended.
Discomfort or rubbing during longer runs.
Check your lacing; it might be too tight or too loose in certain areas. Experiment with different lacing techniques. Also, ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks that wick moisture and prevent friction. Confirm that the shoe size and fit are correct for your feet, as a 'regular fit' might still require personal adjustment.

Care
Proper care extends the life and performance of your shoes:

- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause material degradation.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
