Full details
The adidas 4DFWD 2 trainers are engineered for runners and athletes who prioritize innovative cushioning technology for a smoother, more efficient gait cycle. Featuring a distinct 3D-printed lattice midsole, these shoes offer exceptional energy return and support for daily training; however, the unique aesthetic and specialized ride may require an adjustment period for runners used to traditional foam-based footwear.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, they are designed for daily performance and can be used for long-distance training, provided the firm ride suits your biomechanics.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity of the 3D-printed midsole and the adhesive bonds.
What surface is best for these trainers?
They perform best on flat, solid surfaces like asphalt, concrete, or rubberized running tracks.
How do I determine my size for the 4DFWD 2?
These trainers generally fit true to size. If you usually wear a UK 9 in other adidas performance models, the UK 9 in this series should fit accordingly.
Why does the midsole look like an open grid?
The open-lattice structure is created through 3D printing to precisely tune the cushioning and energy return properties, which cannot be achieved with traditional foam molding.
Troubleshooting
Debris lodged in the 3D lattice
Use a soft-bristled brush or a compressed air canister to gently dislodge particles from the midsole structure.
Foot slipping during intense activity
Adjust the lacing pattern to a 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' to increase security around the ankle collar.
Pros and Cons

- Excellent forward propulsion during runs

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your 4DFWD 2 trainers, ensure you have selected your proper UK size (e.g., 9 UK). The fit should be snug through the midfoot without restricting toe splay. For cleaning, remove surface dirt with a soft brush and use a damp cloth with mild soap for the upper. Avoid soaking the 3D-printed lattice in water, as it can be difficult to dry completely. Always air dry your shoes in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources, which can warp the specialized midsole material.
