FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
Yes, they are designed for performance and provide excellent cushioning for long-distance efforts on road or gym surfaces.
Should I size up for these trainers?
The UltraBoost 20 generally runs true to size, but those who prefer a looser fit or have wider feet may find a half-size increase more comfortable.
Can the insoles be removed?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing for the use of custom orthotics if required.
Are they machine washable?
We recommend against machine washing to preserve the integrity of the adhesive and materials; hand cleaning is preferred.
Do they provide arch support?
The construction offers neutral support, which is suitable for most arch types, though not specifically designed for severe overpronation.
Troubleshooting
Knit upper feels too tight
Loosen the laces significantly before putting on the shoe to allow the stretchy material to expand comfortably as you insert your foot.
Midsole looks dirty or stained
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution or a mild mixture of water and gentle detergent applied with a soft sponge to buff the white areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your UltraBoost 20 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While they feel comfortable immediately, wearing them for shorter durations for the first few days helps the knit upper contour to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry mud or dust. For deeper cleaning, spot clean with mild soapy water and a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the trainers in water or using a washing machine, as high heat can degrade the cushioning performance.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the materials from fading or becoming brittle over time.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size. If you prefer a wider fit for thicker socks, consider that the snug nature of the Primeknit may feel tight for individuals with naturally wide feet.
