FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

The Primeknit upper offers a degree of flexibility, but the UltraBoost 20 series is generally designed for a standard or slightly narrow fit. If you have very wide feet, it's recommended to try them on first or consider alternative models designed for wider fits.

How do I clean the 'Year of the Dragon' accents?

Clean the entire shoe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid scrubbing the printed or textured accents directly with abrasive materials to preserve their detail.

What is the main difference between UltraBoost 20 and previous models?

The UltraBoost 20 features an updated Primeknit upper with a reinforced heel counter and a more streamlined aesthetic compared to some earlier versions, alongside continued advancements in Boost cushioning technology.

Can I wear these for cross-training or weightlifting?

While the Boost cushioning provides comfort and some stability, these trainers are primarily designed for running and everyday wear. For heavy weightlifting or intense lateral movements, a shoe with a firmer, flatter sole might be more appropriate.

What is the expected lifespan of the Boost cushioning?

The Boost cushioning is known for its durability and resistance to temperature changes, maintaining its properties over a long period of use. With proper care, the cushioning should remain effective for hundreds of miles of running or extended daily wear.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the Primeknit upper is breathable and water-resistant to a degree but not waterproof. They are not designed for wear in heavy rain or wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and adjust the fit of the Primeknit upper. If the issue persists, consider if a different size or width is more suitable.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness

Ensure the Boost foam is clean. While Boost foam is highly durable, prolonged extreme conditions can affect its performance. Check for any debris trapped in the midsole.

Poor grip on wet surfaces

Clean the Continental™ Rubber outsole to remove any dirt or debris that might be reducing traction. Be aware that rubber outsoles can have reduced grip on very wet or slippery surfaces.

Discoloration of materials

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh cleaning agents. Follow the recommended care instructions for cleaning and storage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional energy return and cushioning for comfort during runs or long wear.
  • Breathable and adaptive Primeknit upper for a personalized fit.
  • Durable Continental™ Rubber outsole for reliable traction.
  • Distinctive 'Year of the Dragon' design offers a unique style statement.
  • Suitable for both athletic performance and casual wear.

Cons

  • The bold 'Year of the Dragon' design might be too specific for some users.
  • Higher price point compared to basic running shoes.
  • Primeknit can sometimes be less durable against abrasions than traditional materials.
  • May run slightly narrow for individuals with very wide feet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. Simply unbox and wear. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a comfortable and secure fit before your first use.

Compatibility: Designed as running shoes and casual wear, they are compatible with most athletic apparel and casual outfits. They perform best on paved surfaces, treadmills, and indoor training environments.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild detergent mixed with cool water and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the materials and colour.
