FAQs
What is Dreamstrike technology?
Dreamstrike technology is a cushioning system developed by adidas that provides supportive comfort underfoot with every stride, designed to enhance the running experience.
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
The Supernova Glide Trainers are primarily designed for road running. While they offer good traction, they are not optimized for the demands of trail running, which typically requires more aggressive grip and protective features.
How do I know if I have the right size?
You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The shoe should feel snug around the heel and midfoot without pinching or rubbing.
Can these trainers be used for gym workouts?
Yes, the blend of cushioning and stability makes them suitable for general gym workouts and cross-training, though they are optimized for running.
What is the main benefit of the midsole geometry?
The midsole's shape is engineered to promote stability, ensuring smoother and more effortless transitions from your heel strike to your toe-off during your run.
How should I clean my Supernova Glide Trainers?
Clean them using a soft brush to remove dirt, and a damp cloth with mild soap and cold water for stains. Avoid machine washing and air dry them away from heat.
Troubleshooting
Uncomfortable fit
Ensure you are wearing the correct size and type of running socks. Adjust lacing to find a secure but not overly tight fit. If the issue persists, consider if this model's fit profile is suitable for your foot shape.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for varied conditions, but extreme wetness can reduce grip. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. For heavily wet conditions, exercise caution.
Discomfort after long runs
Ensure the shoes have adequately broken in. Check if the Dreamstrike cushioning is providing sufficient support for your running gait and distance. Consider consulting a running specialist if discomfort is persistent.
