FAQs
What is the primary intended use for these trainers?
These trainers are designed for adult female runners, primarily for daily running, training sessions, and general fitness activities. They offer a balance of cushioning and responsiveness.
What is the midsole drop, and what does it mean for my run?
The midsole drop is 7 mm (35 mm heel, 27 mm forefoot). This is considered a moderate drop, which can facilitate a natural stride for many runners. It offers a bit more cushioning in the heel while maintaining a responsive forefoot.
How do I clean my adidas Supernova Glide trainers?
Clean the trainers using a soft brush or a damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What is the weight of these trainers?
The trainers weigh approximately 240 grams, contributing to a lightweight feel during runs.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The product description notes a 'Regular fit.' While the lacing allows for some adjustment, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. Trying them on is recommended if possible.
Can these trainers be used for cross-training or gym workouts?
While they offer good cushioning, they are primarily optimized for running. For dedicated cross-training or heavy gym workouts, specialized footwear might be more appropriate due to differences in lateral support and stability needs.
What other colorways or sizes are available in the Supernova Glide series?
The Supernova Glide series is available in various colorways such as Grey, White/Black, Pink, Blue, and Purple, and across a range of UK sizes for women.
Troubleshooting
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing laces with a textured or specialized athletic type if the issue persists.
Discomfort or rubbing during runs
Check lacing for tightness – too tight or too loose can cause issues. Ensure socks provide adequate padding and coverage. If the problem continues, the fit may not be suitable for your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Midsole cushioning naturally degrades with mileage. Consider replacing the trainers after approximately 300-500 miles (500-800 km) of use, depending on running surface and user weight.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides traction but may have limitations on very wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution and consider alternative footwear for extremely wet conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers require no specific setup. Simply ensure they are the correct size and adjust the laces for a comfortable, secure fit before your first run.
Compatibility:
Designed primarily for road running and general fitness activities. They are compatible with most standard athletic socks. Consider consulting a running specialist if you have specific biomechanical needs.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the upper and outsole. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the materials and affect performance.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight, which can degrade the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in damp conditions or direct sunlight for extended periods.
