FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
The adidas RUNFALCON is designed more for road and light, well-maintained trails. While the mudguard offers some protection, it lacks the aggressive outsole traction and reinforced upper features typically found in specialized trail running shoes for technical terrain.
Can I machine wash my RUNFALCON shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and the water-repellent treatment. It's best to clean them by hand with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.
How do the reflective details work?
The reflective details are made of materials that reflect light back to its source, such as car headlights or streetlights. This significantly increases your visibility to others in low-light conditions, enhancing safety during your runs.
Is the water-repellent feature permanent?
The water-repellent treatment may diminish over time with wear and washing. You can help maintain or restore this feature by regularly cleaning your shoes and applying a shoe-specific water-repellent spray, following the product's instructions.
What is a 'regular fit'?
A 'regular fit' means the shoe is designed to accommodate a standard foot shape without being overly narrow or wide. It aims to provide a comfortable, accommodating feel for most users, allowing for natural foot movement during activity.
Troubleshooting
Laces frequently come untied.
Ensure you are using a double knot or a 'surgeon's knot' for added security. Check that the laces are not worn or excessively smooth.
Feet feel damp despite water-repellent feature.
The shoes are water-repellent, not waterproof. Heavy rain or standing in puddles will eventually saturate them. Ensure proper fit to prevent water entry from the top. Consider reapplying a water-repellent spray.
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lace tension. For tightness, loosen the laces slightly. For looseness, tighten them further, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks.
Shoes develop an odor.
Allow shoes to air out completely after each use. Remove insoles to air dry separately if needed. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or place baking soda packets inside when not in use. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Weather Protection: Water-repellent upper keeps feet drier in light rain or damp conditions.
- Enhanced Visibility: Reflective details improve safety during early morning or evening runs.
- Durable Design: Mudguard provides added protection against elements and wear.
- Comfortable Fit: Regular fit and textile lining ensure a comfortable experience for everyday wear and running.
- Secure Lacing: Traditional lace closure allows for a customizable and secure fit.
Cons
- Basic Cushioning: Lacks mention of advanced cushioning technologies, suggesting a more foundational level of shock absorption.
- Specific Terrain: While water-repellent, not designed for extreme wet or muddy trail conditions that require specialized waterproofing or aggressive traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
- Unpack: Remove shoes from packaging.
- Lace Up: Insert your foot, ensuring the heel is snug in the back of the shoe.
- Adjust Laces: Begin lacing from the bottom eyelets, pulling gently to remove slack. Ensure an even tension across the foot.
- Tie: Tie laces securely in a knot or bow that feels comfortable and prevents slipping, without being overly tight.
- Initial Walk: Take a short walk to ensure the fit is comfortable and there are no pressure points.
Compatibility
- Intended User: Designed for adult males, size UK 11.
- Activity: Best suited for running, walking, and general athletic activities. Can be worn casually.
- Terrain: Optimal for road surfaces, sidewalks, and light, well-maintained trails. The water-repellent feature aids in damp conditions.
Care
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the mesh upper and mudguard with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher dirt, use a soft brush.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials.
- Water-Repellent Maintenance: While water-repellent, these shoes are not waterproof. For prolonged water resistance, consider applying a shoe-specific water-repellent spray periodically, following the spray product's instructions.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Filling them with crumpled paper can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the shoe's construction and materials, including the water-repellent treatment.
