FAQs
What type of runner is the Ultraboost 5 for?
The Ultraboost 5 trainers are ideal for adult runners seeking neutral support for mid-distance road runs (6-12 km) who prioritize cushioning and energy return.
Can I use these for trail running?
No, these trainers are specifically designed for road running. The outsole may not provide adequate grip or protection on uneven or technical trail surfaces.
How should I clean my leather Ultraboost 5 trainers?
Gently wipe the leather with a damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
What makes the Light BOOST V2 midsole special?
The Light BOOST V2 midsole is engineered to provide exceptional energy return and superior cushioning, helping to reduce impact and keep your legs feeling fresh during runs.
Is the support suitable for runners who overpronate?
These trainers offer neutral support, which is best for runners with a neutral gait. If you require significant pronation control, you may need a stability shoe.
What is the benefit of the Torsion System?
The Torsion System provides stability and support from the heel to the toe, allowing for more natural foot movement and preventing excessive twisting during the stride.
How do I ensure a good fit?
Utilize the lace-up closure to adjust the tightness across your foot. The molded external heel should provide a secure fit around your ankle. Try them on with your usual running socks.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing pattern. For a tighter fit, pull the laces more firmly. For more room, loosen the laces, especially over the midfoot. Ensure the heel counter is snug before lacing.
Reduced cushioning or energy return over time
The BOOST midsole material is designed for long-lasting performance, but effectiveness can diminish with extreme wear. Ensure the shoes are clean and free from debris that might affect performance. Regular cleaning and proper drying can help maintain material integrity.
Traction is poor on wet surfaces
Ensure the Continental rubber outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. While designed for grip, excessive wear on the rubber can reduce its effectiveness. For very slick conditions, exercise caution.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers come ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably by adjusting the laces. The lace-up closure allows for personalized tension across the foot.
Compatibility: Primarily designed for road running. They are compatible with standard athletic socks and suitable for use with GPS running watches or other performance tracking devices. Not recommended for trail running, cross-training, or court sports due to the outsole design.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution on a cloth or soft brush, focusing on the midsole and outsole. Avoid machine washing or soaking.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in damp or humid conditions.
