FAQs

What distances are these shoes best suited for?

The Adizero Avanti 99 are optimized for middle-distance races ranging from 3K to 10K on the track.

Are these shoes comfortable for everyday training?

While they feature cushioning, their primary design is for racing. For extensive daily training, a shoe with more cushioning and flexibility might be more appropriate. They may require a break-in period for comfort during longer efforts.

How much do these shoes weigh?

These shoes weigh approximately 172 grams, contributing to their lightweight feel for speed.

Can I use these shoes on a road race?

These shoes are designed with a full-length spike plate and grip optimized for synthetic tracks. They are not recommended for road racing, as the spike plate can be damaged and grip will be compromised.

What does 'Lightstrike Pro' cushioning mean?

Lightstrike Pro is adidas's advanced cushioning technology that offers a combination of being super-light while providing significant energy return to enhance running speed.

How do I ensure the spikes are secure?

Use the provided spike wrench to screw the spikes firmly into their receptacles. Check them before each race to ensure they are tight.

Is the upper material durable?

The upper is made from mesh for breathability and a lightweight feel. While designed for performance, like all performance footwear, care should be taken to avoid excessive abrasion.

Troubleshooting

Spikes not screwing in properly

Ensure the receptacles are clean and free of debris. Try a different spike or a spike wrench for better leverage.

Shoes feel too tight during initial wear

This is common for racing spikes. Wear them for short periods during training to allow them to break in and mold to your foot shape. Ensure laces are not overtightened.

Reduced grip on the track

Check the condition of the sharkskin grip and the spike tips. Clean both thoroughly. Ensure all spikes are correctly inserted and providing adequate bite.

Discomfort after a race

This could be due to insufficient break-in or an improper fit. Review lacing techniques and consider if a different size or model might be more suitable for your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are race-ready spikes. Ensure the spikes are securely screwed into the provided receptacles before use. Check local competition rules regarding the number and length of spikes allowed.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for synthetic athletic tracks. The spike plate and grip are optimized for this surface. Compatibility with other surfaces is limited.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, brush off any loose dirt or debris from the outsole and upper. Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe down the shoes if necessary. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Spike Maintenance: Store the shoes with spikes removed or covered to protect surfaces and prevent injury. Clean spikes separately if they become excessively dirty.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag to protect them from dust and damage.
