FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The Runfalcon 5 trainers offer good cushioning for various runs, but for marathon distances, you might prefer shoes specifically designed for long-distance road running that offer more advanced support and energy return.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
The mesh upper is water-repellent, meaning it can handle light splashes and drizzle. However, they are not fully waterproof and may not keep your feet dry in heavy or prolonged rain.
How do I clean mud off the shoes?
Gently brush off loose dirt. Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water to clean the mesh and sole. Allow them to air dry completely away from heat.
What is the drop on these shoes?
The midsole drop is 10 mm, with a heel height of 34 mm and a forefoot height of 24 mm.
What is the weight of these shoes?
The approximate weight is 301 grams for a size UK 8.5.
Are these trainers good for road running?
While they can be used for road running and offer cushioning, their design with a grippier Adiwear outsole and water-repellent upper is particularly optimized for off-road and trail use.
What does 'Adiwear' mean for the outsole?
Adiwear is adidas's non-marking rubber outsole technology, known for its high-abrasion resistance, providing durability and excellent traction.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or cause discomfort.
Ensure you have laced them correctly, adjusting the tightness. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different size or width, or break them in with shorter walks before longer runs.
Traction is poor on slippery surfaces.
Check the Adiwear outsole for embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the sole. For persistent issues on exceptionally slick surfaces, be aware that no outsole provides universal grip.
Feet get wet during runs in damp conditions.
The water-repellent feature protects against splashes. For heavy rain or wet grass, consider wearing waterproof socks or opting for fully waterproof footwear.
The cushioning feels inadequate over time.
Cloudfoam cushioning may lessen over extensive use. Ensure you are within the recommended mileage for optimal performance. Consider replacing the shoes if the cushioning is significantly degraded.
