FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?

While the Boost midsole offers excellent cushioning, the UltraBoost 4.0 DNA is primarily designed for daily wear and light athletic activities. For marathon running, consider specialized running shoes designed for long-distance performance and support.

How do I clean the Primeknit upper?

Use a soft brush with cold water and a small amount of mild detergent. Gently scrub the affected area, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry.

What does 'Primeblue' mean?

Primeblue is an Adidas material made in collaboration with Parley for the Oceans. It features Parley Ocean Plastic, which is intercepted on beaches and in coastal communities before it can reach the ocean.

Can I put these in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash or machine dry these trainers, as it can damage the materials and affect the performance of the Boost midsole.

How do I know if I have the correct size?

The Primeknit upper provides a snug, sock-like fit. The shoe should feel secure without being constrictive. There should be a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.

What is the main difference between the UltraBoost 4.0 DNA and other UltraBoost models?

The 'DNA' designation typically signifies a re-imagining or core version of a classic UltraBoost design, often focusing on heritage aesthetics and everyday comfort, while other models might have more advanced technologies or specific performance features.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Adjust the lacing to find a more comfortable fit. The Primeknit upper will also stretch slightly with wear to conform to your foot.

Squeaking noise during walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the sole and the surface. Ensure the outsole is clean. If the noise persists, a light dusting of talcum powder inside the shoe might help.

Yellowing of the Boost midsole

The Boost material can naturally yellow over time with exposure to UV light and dirt. Clean gently with mild soap and water, but significant yellowing may be irreversible.
