FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

These trainers are primarily designed for strength training and gym-based activities. They offer excellent stability for lifting but are not optimized for the cushioning and flexibility required for running.

How do I find the correct size?

The adidas Dropset Control Trainers are generally true to size. It is recommended to order your usual shoe size. Half sizes are available in selected sizes for a more precise fit.

Can I wear these for CrossFit?

Yes, the stability and support features, particularly the wide base and torsion system, make them well-suited for many CrossFit WODs (Workout of the Day) that involve lifting and dynamic movements.

What is the primary benefit of the TPU midfoot torsion system?

The TPU midfoot torsion system provides enhanced midfoot integrity and support, allowing for more controlled and stable transitions during dynamic exercises and multi-directional movements.

How often should I clean my trainers?

Regular cleaning after workouts, especially removing sweat and dirt, will help maintain their condition. A deeper clean can be done as needed following the care instructions.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are suitable for indoor training environments.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight during initial wear.

The trainers may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter sessions initially and gradually increase duration. Ensure laces are not overtightened.

Lack of arch support.

If additional arch support is needed, consider using aftermarket insoles. Ensure the insoles are compatible with training shoes and do not interfere with the shoe's stability features.

Traction issues on certain surfaces.

Clean the outsole regularly to remove any dust or debris that might be hindering grip. The rubber outsole is designed for gym environments; performance on highly polished or wet surfaces may vary.
