FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Primeknit upper offers some flexibility, but the overall shoe construction tends to be of a standard to slightly narrow width. Customers with significantly wide feet may find them restrictive. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consider a half-size up if you're on the border.
How durable is the Boost cushioning?
Boost cushioning is known for its exceptional durability and resistance to temperature changes, maintaining its responsiveness over many miles compared to traditional EVA foams.
Can I wear these for gym workouts?
Yes, the cushioning and support make them suitable for various gym activities, though they are primarily optimized for running. For very heavy lifting, a more stable shoe might be preferred.
What is the difference between Ultra Boost Light and other Ultra Boost models?
The 'Light' version focuses on reducing weight while retaining the core Boost technology and energy return, making it feel faster and more agile.
How do I clean the Primeknit upper?
Use a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals, as this can damage the delicate knit material.
What is the role of the Linear Energy Push (LEP) system?
The LEP system is designed to add an extra element of propulsion and stiffness to the forefoot, working in synergy with the Boost midsole to enhance forward momentum.
Is this shoe waterproof?
No, the Primeknit and textile upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. It will offer some resistance to light moisture but is not suitable for very wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. If the Primeknit upper feels snug, try wearing thinner socks or wear them for short periods initially to allow for some stretch and break-in.
Reduced energy return over time
The Boost cushioning is designed for long-term durability, but excessive wear can impact performance. Ensure the shoes are cleaned regularly and stored properly. If performance significantly degrades, it may be time for a replacement.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the outsole offers good grip, running on very wet or slick surfaces can reduce traction. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed primarily for road running and general athletic activities. While the outsole provides good traction, it is not optimized for trail running or highly technical terrain.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: For general dirt, use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently clean the upper and midsole. Avoid harsh scrubbing, especially on the Primeknit material.
- Insoles: If removable, take out the insoles and hand wash them with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely.
- Drying: Never machine wash or tumble dry the shoes. Stuff them with paper towels or newspaper to absorb moisture and help them retain their shape. Allow them to air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
