FAQs

What is PRIMEKNIT material?

PRIMEKNIT is a modern, engineered yarn that allows for the creation of seamless, one-piece uppers. It offers a sock-like fit, breathability, flexibility, and support where needed.

How does Boost technology improve my run?

Boost is an adidas midsole technology that uses thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) pellets. It provides highly responsive cushioning by absorbing impact and returning energy with each step, reducing fatigue and enhancing performance.

Is the gum camo sole durable?

Yes, the outsole is made of Continental Rubber, a high-performance material known for its durability and superior grip, ensuring longevity and reliable traction.

Can these shoes be used for other sports besides running?

While primarily designed for running, the stable platform and cushioning can offer benefits for other activities. However, for highly specialized sports, footwear designed specifically for that sport is generally recommended.

How often should I replace my Ultra Boost 1.0 DNA trainers?

It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles (480-800 km) or when the cushioning and support significantly diminish, regardless of the shoe's appearance.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The PRIMEKNIT upper offers some flexibility. However, individuals with very wide feet may find them more comfortable if they consider trying a half-size up or looking for models specifically designed for wider fits.

Troubleshooting

Uneven wear on outsole

Ensure proper running form and that the shoe is a correct fit. Uneven wear can sometimes be related to gait.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

While Boost technology is durable, cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive mileage. Consider replacing shoes after 300-500 miles.

Foot slippage inside the shoe

Check lacing technique to ensure a secure fit. The heel counter and overlays are designed for support, but proper lacing is crucial.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the correct size is selected. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter runs before attempting long distances. Check socks for seam placement.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently clean the PRIMEKNIT upper. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Wipe down the Boost midsole and Continental Rubber outsole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a thorough wipe with a clean, damp cloth.
  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
  • Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning if necessary. Hand wash with mild detergent and air dry.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
