Product Information
Full details
The adidas Questar 3 Running Trainers are designed for active adults who need a reliable, everyday shoe for running and fitness training. They offer the key benefit of full-length Bounce cushioning, providing a responsive and springy ride that makes daily runs feel more effortless. A notable caveat is that while they are highly versatile for gym use and road running, they are primarily built for neutral runners, which may not provide enough stability for those with severe overpronation.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Questar 3 features a standard fit. While the breathable mesh has some natural give, those with extra-wide feet may want to try them on in-store first to ensure adequate width in the toe box.
Can I use these for trail running?
These are primarily designed for road and gym surfaces. While the rubber outsole is durable, it lacks the aggressive lugs necessary for technical trail terrain.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, running shoes like the Questar 3 should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running frequency and surface conditions.
Do these shoes include arch support?
The shoes offer neutral support. If you require specific orthotic arch support, the insoles are typically removable to accommodate custom inserts.
Are the recycled materials durable?
Yes, adidas ensures that the recycled components are rigorously tested to meet the same performance and durability standards as virgin materials.
Troubleshooting
Feeling friction or hot spots during runs
Re-adjust the lace tightness. If you have a high instep, consider trying different lacing patterns like a 'heel lock' to improve stability.
Outsole losing grip
Clean the bottom of the shoes thoroughly with a damp brush to remove accumulated dust and debris that may be obstructing the rubber tread.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Questar 3 trainers last, follow these care and maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for short walks before long runs to ensure the mesh upper adapts to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid washing machines, as they can degrade the cushioning integrity and glue bonds.
- Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can warp the materials.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup in the foam.
