FAQs
What type of running is this shoe best suited for?
The Adidas Supernova Glide trainers are best suited for daily running, road running, and general fitness training due to their balanced cushioning and responsiveness.
How do I know if the 'regular fit' is right for me?
A regular fit is standard. If you typically need wider or narrower shoes, it's advisable to try them on or check reviews specific to fit.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
While they offer good cushioning for daily training, for marathon distances, runners might prefer shoes specifically designed for ultra-long distances or maximum cushioning depending on personal preference and training volume.
How do I clean the reflective details?
Clean the reflective details gently with a damp cloth. Avoid scrubbing them aggressively, as this could potentially damage the reflective coating.
What is the purpose of the 8mm midsole drop?
The 8mm drop (heel 36mm / forefoot 28mm) is a common design that helps facilitate a natural foot strike for many runners, providing a smooth transition from heel to toe.
Can I use these trainers for gym workouts?
Yes, the Supernova Glide can be used for gym workouts, especially those involving cardio or light weightlifting, due to their stable base and cushioning. However, for specialized activities like heavy lifting or court sports, dedicated footwear is recommended.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The shoe weighs approximately 282 grams, which is considered a moderate weight, offering a good balance between cushioning and agility for everyday training.
Troubleshooting
Tying laces feels insecure
Ensure laces are threaded through all eyelets. Try a different lacing pattern or double knotting for a more secure fit.
Feet feel too warm during runs
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking athletic socks. The textile upper is breathable, but sock choice can significantly impact temperature regulation.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides traction, but wet conditions inherently reduce grip. Run with caution, and consider alternative shoes for exceptionally slick conditions if maximum grip is critical.
Fraying of textile upper over time
Avoid abrasive contact with rough surfaces. If minor fraying occurs, it typically does not impact performance significantly. Check for more substantial damage if performance is affected.
