FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
The Galaxy 5 is designed for casual runs and daily activities, not high-intensity, long-distance marathon training.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to wash them in a machine as this can degrade the adhesives and cushioning properties.
Do these trainers provide arch support?
The shoes offer neutral support suitable for most foot types, but those with specific orthopedic needs may prefer adding custom insoles.
Are they true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult UK sizing; if you prefer a roomier fit for thick socks, you may consider a half-size up.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The trainers feature a highly breathable mesh upper designed to maximize airflow and weight reduction.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel like they come undone too easily
Consider using a double knot or a runner's loop (heel lock) lacing technique to improve tension.
Slight discomfort during the first few wears
Wear the shoes for shorter periods initially to allow the upper material and cushioning to mold to your foot shape.
Accumulated dust in the mesh
Use a dry, soft brush to gently clear the debris from the mesh pores to restore breathability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your adidas Galaxy 5 trainers, proper care is essential.
- Fit Check: Ensure the shoes are secured with the laces at a comfortable tension that prevents heel slippage without restricting circulation.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush. Wipe down the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging in water or using harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Air-dry your trainers at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the cushioning materials.
- Rotation: Allow the shoes 24 hours to air out between intense uses to maintain the integrity of the internal materials.
