FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road running?
While the Cloudfoam cushioning provides comfort, the Adiwear outsole is primarily designed for optimal grip on off-road and varied terrains. They can be used for road running, but may wear faster than shoes specifically designed for pavement.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning. Hand wash gently as described in the care instructions.
How does the water-repellent upper differ from waterproof?
A water-repellent upper will shed light moisture like splashes from puddles or light rain. A fully waterproof shoe has a membrane that prevents water from penetrating. These shoes will keep your feet drier in damp conditions but are not designed for submersion or heavy downpours.
What is the main benefit of the Adiwear outsole?
The Adiwear outsole is engineered for high-wear areas, providing excellent durability and superior traction on a variety of surfaces, especially those encountered in off-road running.
How long does the Cloudfoam cushioning typically last?
The lifespan of Cloudfoam cushioning can vary depending on usage frequency, intensity, and running surface. For regular trail running, you might notice a decrease in cushioning responsiveness after several hundred miles.
What size should I order if I'm usually a UK 10.5?
It's often recommended to size up to the nearest whole size if you are between sizes. For a UK 10.5, a UK 11 might provide a more comfortable fit, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks or experience foot swelling during runs. We recommend trying them on if possible.
Troubleshooting
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Ensure the Adiwear outsole is clean. Mud or debris can significantly reduce grip. Gently clean the outsole with water and a brush.
Feet feel damp after running in wet conditions
The upper is water-repellent, not fully waterproof. For very wet conditions, consider additional waterproofing sprays or thicker socks. Ensure shoes are thoroughly dried after use.
Discomfort or pressure points
Verify you have the correct size and fit. Ensure laces are tied appropriately without being too tight. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter runs.
Outsole showing signs of wear
While Adiwear is durable, heavy use on abrasive surfaces will eventually cause wear. Rotate your running shoes if possible to prolong their lifespan.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: Designed for adult male runners, these trainers are compatible with most running apparel and accessories. They are best suited for use on trails, paths, and other outdoor surfaces.
Care: To maintain the condition of your adidas Runfalcon 5 trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt and mud with a soft brush. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably in a shoe bag or box to protect them from dust and damage.
