FAQs
Are these shoes good for running?
These trainers are primarily designed for stability during weightlifting and strength training. They are not optimized for running due to their structured build and focus on a grounded feel.
What does 'wide fit' mean for these trainers?
The 'wide fit' indicates that the shoe offers more volume and a broader base across the forefoot compared to a standard fit, providing enhanced comfort and stability for users with wider feet.
How do I break in these trainers?
Wear them for short periods during your initial workouts, gradually increasing the duration as they start to conform to your foot. Focus on activities where their stability features are most beneficial.
Can I use these for cross-training that includes cardio?
Yes, they can be used for cross-training activities that involve some dynamic movements. However, for workouts heavily focused on high-impact cardio or running, a shoe with more cushioning and flexibility might be more suitable.
How durable is the rubber outsole?
The rubber outsole is designed for durability and traction in gym environments. It should withstand regular training sessions, but performance can be affected by extremely abrasive surfaces or prolonged dragging.
What is the REPETITOR midsole?
REPETITOR is an Adidas midsole technology designed to provide responsive cushioning and stability, tuned specifically for the demands of athletic training.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie, ensuring the fit is snug but not constricting. If the width remains an issue, consider if a wider fit option is available or if the shoes require a break-in period.
Lack of cushioning for impact
These trainers are designed for stability, not high-impact running. For activities requiring significant cushioning, consider a different type of shoe. For training, ensure the REPETITOR midsole is functioning as expected.
Traction issues on the gym floor
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from dust or debris. If the floor surface is compromised, it may affect traction. Check for excessive wear on the outsole.
