FAQs
Are these shoes good for wide feet?
The Primeknit upper is designed to be adaptive, but it tends to run on the narrower side. Individuals with significantly wide feet might find them too constricting. Trying them on or considering a half-size up might be beneficial.
How does the Boost cushioning perform over time?
Boost cushioning is known for its durability and ability to retain its responsiveness over many miles. While it's highly resilient, like all cushioning, it will gradually wear down with extensive use.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
The Primeknit upper offers some water resistance, but it is not fully waterproof. They can handle light rain, but prolonged exposure or heavy downpours may result in wet feet. Ensure they are dried properly afterward.
What is Parley Ocean Plastic?
Parley Ocean Plastic is a material created from reclaimed plastic waste found in coastal areas and oceans. Incorporating it into the shoe's construction signifies adidas's effort to reduce environmental impact.
What is the main difference between Ultra Boost 1.0 and Ultra Boost 1.0 DNA?
The 'DNA' designation often indicates that the shoe is a modernized version or a lifestyle-oriented interpretation of the original performance running model, sometimes with updated materials or design elements while retaining the core Boost technology.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in their original box or a shoe bag can help protect them from dust and potential damage.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. If still tight, wear them around the house for short periods to allow the Primeknit to adapt to your foot. Consider trying a half-size up if the issue persists.
Traction is poor on wet surfaces
Clean the outsole of any debris. Be aware that while the rubber outsole provides good grip, performance on extremely wet surfaces may be reduced compared to dry conditions.
Primeknit upper shows wear or small holes
Avoid abrasive contact with rough surfaces. For minor wear, careful cleaning might help, but significant damage may be irreversible. Consider using these for less demanding activities if damage occurs.
Boost midsole appears discolored
This can occur with prolonged exposure to sunlight or certain chemicals. Clean gently with a damp cloth. While discoloration may not affect performance, it is primarily a cosmetic change.

Care:
