FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The RUNFALCON 5 TR is designed more for training and shorter runs. While they offer cushioning, they may not provide the extensive support and long-distance comfort required for marathons compared to specialized marathon shoes.
How do I clean the water-repellent mesh upper?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt, then wipe gently with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse the cloth and wipe again to remove soap residue. Allow to air dry.
What does 'TR' in the product name stand for?
'TR' typically stands for 'Trail' or 'Traction', indicating the shoe's suitability for varied terrain and enhanced grip.
What is the midsole drop?
The midsole drop is 10 mm, with 34 mm in the heel and 24 mm in the forefoot. This is a moderate drop, offering a balance between cushioning and a natural feel.
Can I wear these shoes in heavy rain?
The upper is water-repellent, meaning it can resist light moisture and splashes. They are not designed for heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions, as water may eventually seep through.
What kind of socks are recommended?
Athletic socks made from moisture-wicking materials like polyester or wool blends are recommended for comfort and to help manage sweat.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The weight is approximately 301 grams for a UK size 8.5.
Troubleshooting
Traction is poor on wet surfaces
The Adiwear outsole offers best performance on dry to moderately wet surfaces. For extremely slippery conditions, consider shoes with specialized wet-weather grip. Ensure the outsole is clean from mud or debris.
Feet feel uncomfortable after long wear
Verify the shoe size is correct. Ensure laces are tied appropriately, not too tight or too loose. Consider using aftermarket insoles if additional arch support is needed.
Upper material feels restrictive
The mesh upper is designed to be supportive. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter wear periods. If discomfort persists, the fit may not be suitable for your foot shape.
Water-repellency seems to be reduced
Water-repellency can diminish over time. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Consider reapplying a suitable water-repellent treatment for footwear if the issue is significant.
