FAQs
What type of running are these shoes best suited for?
The Adidas Supernova Glide trainers are ideal for regular road running, daily training, and longer distance runs. They offer balanced cushioning suitable for general fitness and maintaining comfort over various distances.
How do I clean my Supernova Glide trainers?
Clean the shoes with a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Always air dry and avoid heat sources.
What is the midsole drop, and what does it mean?
The midsole drop is 8mm. This refers to the height difference between the heel and the forefoot. An 8mm drop is considered moderate, supporting a natural running gait for many runners.
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
While the rubber outsole provides some traction, these trainers are primarily designed for road running. They can handle light, well-groomed trails, but are not built for rugged or technical terrain.
How much do the shoes weigh?
The Adidas Supernova Glide trainers weigh approximately 282 grams for a single shoe (based on a standard men's size).
Do these shoes have good ventilation?
Yes, the upper is constructed with textile materials designed to promote breathability and keep your feet cool during your runs.
What does 'Reflective Details' mean for safety?
The shoes include materials that reflect light. This enhances your visibility to vehicles and others in low-light conditions, such as dawn, dusk, or night, making your runs safer.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Adjust the lacing system. Ensure the tongue is properly positioned. If discomfort persists, check if this is the correct size and consider if the shoe's fit profile suits your foot shape.
Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides good grip, but performance on very wet or slick surfaces can vary. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. For challenging wet conditions, consider shoes specifically designed for enhanced wet-weather traction.
Upper material seems dirty or stained
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid machine washing or using strong chemicals, which can damage the textile.
Midsole cushioning feels less responsive over time
The responsiveness of foam midsoles can decrease with extensive use. For optimal performance, consider replacing running shoes after they have been used for their recommended mileage (typically 500-800 km).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The Adidas Supernova Glide trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure they fit correctly by lacing them up securely but not too tightly, adjusting based on personal preference and the activity.
Compatibility:
These trainers are designed for running and general athletic activities. They are compatible with most standard athletic socks. While they feature a durable rubber outsole, they are primarily intended for road running and light trails, not extreme off-road conditions.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the upper and outsole. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners. For stubborn stains, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials and affect the shoe's structure.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in a shoe bag can help protect them from dust and moisture.
