FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The adidas Cloudfoam Move Sock Trainers are designed for lightweight cushioning and comfort, making them ideal for casual wear, walking, and light activities. For high-impact running or intense athletic training, we recommend dedicated running shoes that offer more specialized support and stability.
How do I clean my Cloudfoam Move Sock trainers?
Gently wipe the textile upper and Cloudfoam sole with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, these trainers are *water resistant*. This means they can handle light splashes and brief exposure to moisture, but they are not designed to be fully submerged or worn in heavy rain, as water can eventually seep through.
What kind of socks should I wear with these?
Due to their sock-like fit and breathable textile upper, lightweight, moisture-wicking athletic socks or no-show socks are generally recommended for optimal comfort and to maintain the sleek silhouette.
Is the sizing true to UK standards?
Adidas typically follows standard UK sizing. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up for comfort, especially given the snug, sock-like fit.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, cushioning, and overall structure of the trainers. Please follow the hand-cleaning instructions provided in the care section.
What activities are these trainers best for?
These trainers are best suited for everyday casual wear, walking, light gym activities, travel, and urban exploration where comfort and style are prioritized. Their lightweight and breathable design make them excellent for all-day comfort.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. While the textile upper offers flexibility, initially it might feel snug. Wear them for short periods to allow them to adapt to your foot. If discomfort persists, verify sizing or consider if a different style might better suit your foot shape.
Trainers get wet easily despite being water resistant
The trainers are designed for *water resistance*, meaning protection against light splashes or brief exposure to moisture. They are not waterproof. For heavy rain or puddles, consider footwear specifically designed for those conditions. You can also apply a protective spray designed for textile footwear to enhance resistance, but it will not make them fully waterproof.
Odour buildup in trainers
Ensure adequate airflow after each use. Remove them promptly after wearing to allow them to air out. If odour persists, use a shoe deodorizer or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight, then shake it out. Ensure socks are worn to absorb sweat.
