How do I clean my adidas Supernova Glide Trainers?
Clean the trainers using a damp cloth with mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely away from heat sources.
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?

Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the shoes gradually over several runs. Check lacing technique for even pressure distribution.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
The midsole's cushioning properties naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after significant mileage (typically 500-800 km / 300-500 miles).
Slipping on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides grip, but performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.
