FAQs
What is the intended race distance for the Adizero Avanti 99?
These shoes are designed for races ranging from 3 kilometers to 10 kilometers, offering optimal performance for middle-distance events.
How much do the Adizero Avanti 99 weigh?
They weigh approximately 172 grams in a UK size 8.5, making them exceptionally lightweight.
Can I use these shoes for training?
While they can be used for track-specific speed workouts, they are primarily designed for racing. Regular training on hard surfaces may cause premature wear on the spikes and outsole.
What is Lightstrike Pro cushioning?
Lightstrike Pro is adidas's super-light cushioning technology designed to provide both impact absorption and high energy return, enhancing speed and responsiveness.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are intended for use in dry or slightly damp racing conditions.
How do I choose the right spike length?
Standard racing spikes are typically 6mm to 9mm. Consult race regulations and consider the surface. Always use a spike wrench for insertion and removal.
What does 'made in part with recycled materials' mean?
This means the product contains at least 20% recycled content, utilizing materials that have already been created to reduce waste and the reliance on finite resources.
Troubleshooting
Spikes feel loose or fall out
Ensure spikes are screwed in fully using a spike wrench. Check for any damage to the threads in the shoe or on the spikes. Replace worn-out spikes.
Shoes feel uncomfortable or cause blisters
Adjust lacing for a more personalized fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter runs before a race.
Poor traction during runs
Check spike length and condition; replace if worn. Ensure the running surface is suitable for the spikes. Clean any mud or debris from the spike plate.
Upper material feels restrictive
Loosen the laces, especially around the ankle area. The mesh upper is designed to be breathable and may initially feel less padded than trainers; this is normal for speed spikes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Spike Insertion: Carefully screw the provided racing spikes into the designated holes on the outsole. Ensure they are snug but do not overtighten. A spike wrench is recommended.
- Lacing: Utilize the standard lace closure to achieve a secure, snug fit. Experiment with different lacing techniques for personalized comfort and support.
Compatibility:
- Surface: These shoes are optimized for track and turf surfaces. Use on hard surfaces like asphalt or concrete will significantly damage the spikes and outsole.
- Distances: Best suited for races from 3K up to 10K. For longer distances or marathon running, consider shoes with more cushioning.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, gently brush off any dirt or debris with a soft brush. If necessary, wipe with a damp cloth. Do NOT machine wash or submerge in water.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Consider using a shoe bag to protect them from dust and damage.
