FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the adidas Questar 3 fits true to standard UK sizing, though we recommend leaving a thumb's width of space at the front for optimal running comfort.
Can I use these for long-distance marathon running?
These are best suited for daily training and mid-distance runs. For ultra-marathons, you may prefer a more specialized long-distance shoe with higher energy return.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The trainers weigh approximately 306 g based on a UK size 8.5 sample.
Can the insoles be removed?
The Cloudfoam Plus footbed is designed for integrated comfort; however, it can generally be removed if you need to insert custom orthopedic orthotics.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
The mesh upper is designed for breathability, meaning it is not waterproof and will allow water to penetrate during heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight across the top of the foot
Try re-lacing the trainers using a 'parallel' or 'window' lacing technique to reduce pressure points on the bridge.
Outsole losing traction on slick surfaces
Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dust buildup, which often causes shoes to slide on indoor gym surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Questar 3 trainers, follow these maintenance tips:
- Break-in Period: While they feel comfortable immediately, a short 5-mile walk-in period helps the materials adapt to your specific foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid fully submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the foam components.
- Drying: Air dry only. Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, which can warp the midsole and damage the adhesive bonds.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry area out of direct sunlight to prevent material discoloration and premature foam breakdown.
