FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
While the adiWEAR sole is durable, these shoes are primarily designed for asphalt and gym surfaces; they lack the deep lugs required for technical trails.
Does the Bounce technology lose its cushioning over time?
Bounce technology is highly durable; however, like all foam-based cushioning, some compression is normal after hundreds of miles of use.
Are they water-resistant?
No, the breathable mesh upper is designed for ventilation and will allow water to pass through if you step in puddles.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
The Adidas Response 3 generally follows standard athletic sizing. Ensure there is approximately a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Can I use custom orthotics in these shoes?
Yes, the standard insoles are typically removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if needed.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a looser tension or skipping the eyelet closest to the widest part of your foot.
Slipping at the heel during runs
Use the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to secure the ankle more firmly against the Geofit padding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Adidas Response 3 trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear the shoes for short periods indoors before committing to long runs to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains on the mesh. Avoid machine washing or submerging in water as this can degrade the cushioning.
- Drying: Air dry only in a well-ventilated area. Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent fading of the black upper.
