Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road running?
While they can be used for short distances on pavement, the Tracerocker 2.0 is optimized for trail surfaces. Road running may cause faster wear on the outsole lugs and offer less cushioning than road-specific shoes.
What is the main benefit of the Traxion outsole?
The Traxion outsole provides maximum grip in all directions, helping you stay stable and secure on uneven, slippery, and loose terrain.
How does the EVA midsole contribute to the running experience?
The lightweight EVA midsole offers excellent shock absorption and continuous cushioning, providing a soft and comfortable feel underfoot during your runs.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
The open mesh upper provides breathability but is not waterproof. Your feet may get wet in heavy rain or prolonged wet conditions. They are designed for general trail conditions, which may include light moisture.
What does 'at least 50% recycled content' mean for the upper?
It means that a significant portion of the material used to construct the shoe's upper has been repurposed from pre-consumer or post-consumer waste, reducing the need for virgin materials.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by adidas and measure your foot to ensure you select the correct UK size. Trail running shoes often benefit from a little extra room in the toe box.
What terrain are these shoes best suited for?
They are designed for a variety of trail terrains, including forest paths, dirt trails, gravel, and moderately rocky surfaces. They offer versatility for mixed trail conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and try re-tying them with a different tension. Ensure you have the correct size; consider using thinner socks if needed.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
While the Traxion outsole offers good grip, extremely wet or muddy conditions may reduce effectiveness. Clean the outsole treads to remove debris that might hinder grip.
Feet feel warm during runs
The open mesh upper is designed for breathability. For very hot conditions, ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. Consider a more ventilated shoe if this is a persistent issue.
Soles showing signs of wear
Normal wear and tear will occur with use. If premature or excessive wear is observed, check for any manufacturing defects. For general wear, consider the shoe's mileage and terrain.
