FAQs
Are the adidas Adizero Prime X 2.0 Strung shoes legal for competitive races?
No, these shoes feature a 50mm stack height, which exceeds the 40mm limit set by World Athletics for sanctioned competitive races. They are ideal for training, non-sanctioned events, or personal challenges.
How do I clean the STRUNG upper?
Gently clean the STRUNG upper with a soft brush or a damp cloth using mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as these can damage the material.
What kind of running is this shoe best for?
These shoes are best suited for tempo runs, speed workouts, long-distance training, and personal best attempts on road surfaces where maximum cushioning and propulsion are desired and race regulations are not a concern.
How does the 'Energy Core' benefit my run?
The all-new Energy Core is designed to reduce weight and provide an enhanced spring-like sensation in the forefoot and midfoot, helping you achieve a more propulsive and efficient stride.
What is the expected lifespan of these shoes?
Info needed: While durability can vary based on usage, running shoes generally last between 300-500 miles. Monitor the wear of the outsole and the responsiveness of the cushioning to determine replacement time.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
While the Continental outsole offers good grip, the high stack height and design are optimized for road surfaces. They are not recommended for technical trail running, which requires more ground feel and stability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel unstable or wobbly.
The high stack height can feel different initially. Ensure laces are securely tied. Focus on your running form; slight adjustments might improve stability. If persistent, consider if this shoe type is suitable for your gait.
Upper feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust your lacing. Experiment with different lacing patterns to relieve pressure or secure the midfoot better. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks.
Lack of expected 'spring' or responsiveness.
Ensure you are landing and pushing off with good running form, utilizing the forefoot/midfoot where the energy core is most active. Sometimes a short break-in period is needed for the foams to fully respond.
Squeaking sound while running.
This can sometimes occur from friction between the insole and the strobel board. Try removing and re-inserting the insole, or placing a thin layer of baby powder underneath it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
- Lacing: Ensure proper lacing to achieve a snug, secure, yet comfortable fit. Experiment with different lacing techniques if you experience pressure points or heel slippage. The `STRUNG` upper is designed to mold to your foot, so take a moment to adjust the laces evenly.
- First Wear: It's advisable to wear the shoes for a short, easy run or walk before a high-intensity workout or race to allow your feet to adapt to the unique feel of the high stack height and responsive cushioning.
Compatibility
- Running Surfaces: Best suited for road surfaces, tracks, and well-maintained paths due to the outsole design and high stack. While the `Continental` outsole provides excellent grip, extreme off-road or technical trail conditions are not recommended.
- Foot Type: The shoe's design is generally accommodating; however, runners with specific stability needs should evaluate how the high stack height feels during their runs.
- Race Regulations: Crucially, be aware that these shoes exceed World Athletics' stack height limit of 40mm. This means they are not compliant for sanctioned competitive races under World Athletics rules. They are ideal for training, non-sanctioned events, or personal best attempts where regulations are not a factor.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: Gently clean the upper with a soft brush or damp cloth using mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the `STRUNG` material or foams.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as excessive heat can degrade materials.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for prolonged periods.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and allow both the shoes and insoles to air out thoroughly. Odor-absorbing inserts can also be used.
- Avoid Machine Washing/Drying: Do not put your running shoes in a washing machine or dryer, as this can severely damage the structure and materials.
