FAQs
What type of training are these shoes best suited for?
These trainers are ideal for general gym training, weightlifting, functional fitness, and cross-training due to their supportive and stable design. They are also suitable for everyday casual wear.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the adidas sizing chart and measure your foot length. Given the wide fit, consider your personal comfort preference. If you are between sizes, you might lean towards the larger size for more room, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to preserve the integrity of the materials and construction.
What is the main advantage of the REPETITOR foam?
The REPETITOR foam is a dual-density material that provides a firmer feel specifically in the heel, enhancing stability during lifts and reducing unwanted movement.
Are these shoes waterproof?
These trainers are not designed to be waterproof. While the Cordura nylon offers some resistance to moisture, they are not intended for use in wet conditions.
How does the Traxion outsole help?
The Traxion outsole features lugs designed to provide optimal grip on various surfaces, both indoors and outdoors, ensuring stability and confidence during athletic movements.
What is the benefit of the wide fit?
The wide fit is designed to offer increased comfort and accommodate individuals who may find standard-width shoes restrictive, especially during prolonged wear or intense activity.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the lacing system. For a tighter fit, use a runner's loop or criss-cross lacing more closely. For a looser feel, ensure laces are not overtightened and consider alternative lacing patterns. The wide fit is intentional; if still uncomfortable, consider adding insoles for a snugger feel.
Traction is reduced on certain surfaces
Clean the Traxion outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be affecting grip. Ensure the surfaces you are training on are clean and dry.
Material shows signs of wear quickly
While Cordura nylon is durable, avoid excessive abrasion against rough surfaces. Ensure proper care and cleaning techniques are followed. Inspect for any specific points of excessive friction and adjust activities if necessary.
