FAQs

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The Primeknit upper provides some stretch, but the Ultra Boost 20 has a performance-oriented fit. Users with very wide feet may prefer trying a half-size larger.

Can I use these for lifting weights?

While the cushioning is excellent for running, the soft Boost midsole is not recommended for heavy lifting, as it lacks the rigid stability required for squats or deadlifts.

How should I clean the Primeknit material?

Use a soft brush and a mild detergent mixed with water. Gently scrub the affected areas and pat dry with a clean cloth.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the Primeknit upper is designed for breathability and will absorb water if submerged or used in heavy rain.

What is the primary difference between this and older models?

The Ultra Boost 20 features 20% more Boost foam and the Tailored Fiber Placement (TFP) for improved structural support and a lighter feel.

Troubleshooting

Knit upper feels too tight during long runs

Adjust the lacing pattern to be looser across the midfoot to allow for natural foot swelling during exercise.

Outsole collecting small stones in tread

Use a dull plastic tool or soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge debris from the Continental outsole to maintain optimal traction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High energy return from the enhanced Boost midsole
  • Excellent grip provided by the Continental rubber outsole
  • Precision fit due to Primeknit and TFP technologies
  • Soft heel construction prevents irritation
  • Durable build suitable for consistent daily training

Cons

  • Performance-oriented fit may feel narrow for some users
  • Less lateral stability than dedicated gym or cross-training shoes
  • Lighter-colored knit parts may show dirt more easily than full-black models

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best experience, ensure you have the correct size, as the Primeknit upper is designed to hug the foot closely. To maintain these trainers, avoid machine washing or drying, which can degrade the knit fibers and adhesive. Instead, clean the outsole with a damp brush to remove debris, and wipe the upper with a soft, moist cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the foam's elasticity and the integrity of the synthetic materials.
