FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The LIGHTMOTION midsole is designed for general cushioning and responsiveness, suitable for training and casual wear. For marathon running, specialized shoes with advanced cushioning and support systems are typically recommended.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the adidas sizing chart available on most reputable footwear retail sites. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the chart. These trainers are listed as a UK size 8.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
The rubber outsole provides traction, but the textile and synthetic upper is not waterproof. They can handle light moisture, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain may lead to wetness inside the shoe.
What is the 'Cold Cement' construction?
Cold Cement construction is an assembly method where adhesives are used to bond the outsole to the upper, typically resulting in a durable and cost-effective shoe.
How should I clean the engineered mesh upper?
Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently clean the mesh. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
This specific listing is for the White/Black colorway. Other color options may be available under different product variations or series.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not pulled too tight. Check if the size is appropriate for your foot width.
Soles feel slippery
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from excessive dirt or debris that might reduce traction. The outsole's grip may diminish on very smooth or wet surfaces.
Discomfort during long wear
Verify that the lacing provides adequate support without being constrictive. Consider using different lacing techniques or insoles if personal comfort requires it.
