FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
The Ultrarun 5 is specifically designed for tarmac and road surfaces. For technical trails, a shoe with deeper lugs and reinforced side protection would be more appropriate.
How should I clean the mesh upper?
Gently wipe with a soft cloth dipped in mild soapy water. Air dry naturally and never use a washing machine.
Does the shoe run true to size?
The Ultrarun 5 generally fits true to standard adidas sizing, though if you prefer extra room for thicker socks, consider your typical athletic shoe preference.
What is the primary benefit of the Bounce 2.0 technology?
Bounce 2.0 provides energy return and soft impact protection, making it ideal for runners who want comfort without the mushy feeling of over-cushioned shoes.
Can I remove the insole?
Yes, the insole is removable, allowing you to use custom orthotics if required for your specific foot arch support needs.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt accumulating in the mesh upper
Use a soft brush and lukewarm water to gently clear the weave. Do not scrub aggressively to avoid fraying the fabric.
Feeling a loss of 'bounce' in the midsole
This is often a sign of material fatigue after heavy mileage. Ensure you are giving the shoes 24 hours of rest between long runs to allow the foam to rebound.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Ultrarun 5 trainers remain in peak condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap to spot clean the mesh upper. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can warp the cushioning materials.
- Fit: Ensure you are wearing performance-rated running socks to optimize the fit of the UK size 12 silhouette.
- Rotation: If you run daily, consider rotating with another pair to allow the mesh and cushioning materials to fully decompress and dry out between uses.
