FAQs

Are these shoes good for running?

The adidas Dropset Base Training Shoes are primarily designed for gym training and cross-training. While they offer some cushioning, they are not optimized for the specific demands of long-distance running.

What is the REPETITOR midsole made of?

REPETITOR is a cushioning technology from adidas designed to provide support and energy return during training movements.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoes. Hand clean with a damp cloth.

What surfaces are the rubber outsoles best suited for?

The rubber outsoles are designed for general training surfaces found in gyms, such as rubber flooring, mats, and hard courts. Performance can vary on wet or highly polished surfaces.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the size chart provided by adidas and measure your foot length. Ensure a snug but not overly tight fit, with some room in the toe box.

Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?

The fit is described as 'regular'. If you have significantly wide feet, it's advisable to try them on first or check reviews specifically mentioning fit for wider feet.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a less constrictive fit. Wear with appropriate athletic socks.

Slipping during workouts

Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. The grip may vary on polished or wet surfaces; consider the environment of use.

Discomfort after a few uses

Allow a break-in period of a few workouts. Ensure the size is correct; an ill-fitting shoe can cause discomfort.

Upper material feels stiff

This is normal for new textile uppers. They will become more flexible with regular wear as they mold to your foot.
