FAQs

What makes the 'Year of the Dragon' edition special?

This edition features unique design elements and color accents inspired by the mythical dragon, setting it apart from the standard UltraBoost 20 models.

Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?

Yes, the UltraBoost 20's Boost midsole provides excellent cushioning and energy return, making them suitable for marathon distances, though individual preferences for cushioning vary.

How do I clean the Primeknit upper?

Gently clean the Primeknit upper with a soft brush and a mixture of mild soap and cool water. Avoid harsh chemicals and allow to air dry.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand wash with mild soap and water is the preferred method.

What is the difference between this and other UltraBoost models?

The 'Year of the Dragon' edition is a special release with unique styling. The core technology, like the Boost midsole and Primeknit upper, is based on the UltraBoost 20 model.

Is this trainer unisex?

While this specific listing is for a men's UK 7, the UltraBoost 20 'Year of the Dragon' model itself is generally considered unisex in design, with specific sizes available for different genders.

What is the typical lifespan of these trainers?

The lifespan depends heavily on usage frequency, intensity, and terrain. For regular running, they typically offer good performance for 300-500 miles (approx. 500-800 km) before significant cushioning degradation occurs.

Troubleshooting

Laces come undone easily

Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot, or consider replacing them with different types of laces that offer better grip.

Shoes feel too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have correctly sized the shoes. If they are new, wear them for shorter periods to allow the Primeknit upper to adapt to your foot. Check lace tension, ensuring they are not over-tightened.

Discoloration on the fabric

Avoid exposure to direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as UV rays can cause fading. Clean gently according to care instructions.

Soles show signs of wear quickly

Ensure you are using the trainers for their intended purpose (running and walking) and on appropriate surfaces. Avoid abrasive surfaces like concrete for extended periods if possible, or consider an alternative shoe for those activities.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear straight out of the box. They are compatible with most athletic socks.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap with cool water and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh detergents 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. Insoles: If removable, take out the insoles and clean them separately. Ensure they are completely dry before reinserting.
  4. Laces: Wash laces separately by hand or in a laundry bag on a delicate cycle.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape and material integrity.
