Full details

Featuring lightweight Bounce 2.0 technology and a breathable mesh upper, it offers a consistent, comfortable ride for daily training sessions; however, its build is specifically optimized for road running rather than technical trail or high-intensity court sports.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the Ultrarun 5 is built for endurance and cushioning, making it a capable choice for logging the miles required for marathon training.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and the Bounce cushioning. Clean them manually with a damp cloth.
What does the 10mm drop mean?
The drop is the difference in height between the heel (35mm) and the forefoot (25mm), which helps promote a comfortable heel-to-toe transition.
Are these made from recycled materials?
Yes, this model contains at least 20% recycled content as part of adidas's commitment to reducing waste.
Are these good for trail running?
These are optimized for road running. While they provide good grip, they lack the specific rock protection and deep lug patterns required for technical trail running.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after a long run
Feet naturally swell during exercise. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking running socks and consider loosening the laces slightly to accommodate the change in foot volume.
Slippage at the heel
Try a 'runner's loop' lacing technique to better secure the ankle and minimize movement without needing to overtighten the rest of the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your adidas Ultrarun 5s, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear them for short, light walks or easy jogs before attempting long-distance runs to allow the foam and mesh to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. If necessary, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the cushioning materials.
- Drying: Air dry only. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, which can cause the adhesives to fail and the upper fabric to warp.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and material breakdown.
