Full details
These adidas Runfalcon 5 TR trainers are designed for adult males seeking reliable footwear for adventurous runs on park trails and rough terrains. Their key benefit lies in providing optimal traction and comfortable support, even in wet conditions, thanks to a grippy outsole and water-repellent upper. A potential caveat is that they fit true to size, so ordering your usual size is recommended for a standard fit. Key features include a low-profile cut, lace fastening, and a convenient pull-on tab.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?
While the Cloudfoam cushioning provides comfort, the Runfalcon 5 TR is primarily designed for trail running and shorter to medium-distance runs. For marathon distances, especially on roads, you might prefer a shoe with more specialized cushioning and energy return.
How do I know if I ordered the correct size?
The product description states they fit true to size and have a standard fit. We recommend ordering your usual shoe size. If possible, try them on indoors to check the fit before wearing them outside.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
Yes, the trainers feature a water-repellent upper, which will protect your feet from light splashes and rain. However, they are not fully waterproof, so prolonged submersion in water may still result in wet feet.
What is the primary benefit of the Adiwear outsole?
The Adiwear outsole is engineered for high-wear areas, providing exceptional durability and grip on a variety of surfaces, especially those found on trails. This ensures reliable traction and helps prevent slips.
How should I care for my Runfalcon 5 TR trainers to maintain their water repellency?
To maintain water repellency, avoid harsh detergents and high heat when cleaning or drying. Gentle cleaning with mild soap and water and air drying is best. Re-waterproofing sprays can also be used periodically, following the product's instructions.
Are these trainers available in wide or narrow widths?
This particular model is described as having a standard fit. It does not appear to be offered in specific wide or narrow width options.
What is the difference between the Runfalcon and Runfalcon TR models?
The 'TR' in Runfalcon 5 TR signifies 'Trail Runner'. These models are specifically designed with enhanced grip and often feature more robust uppers or water resistance suitable for off-road and rough terrain, unlike standard Runfalcon models which may be more geared towards road running or gym use.
Troubleshooting
Traction is poor on wet surfaces.
Ensure the Adiwear outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. The water-repellent upper may help with splashes, but extreme wetness can still affect grip on very slick surfaces.
Feet feel wet after running in damp conditions.
The upper is water-repellent, not fully waterproof. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion, consider waterproof socks or footwear designed for extreme conditions.
Cushioning feels too firm.
Cloudfoam cushioning may feel firmer initially and soften with use. Ensure you have the correct size; an ill-fitting shoe can affect the feel of the cushioning. Break them in on shorter runs.
Laces come undone frequently.
Try double-knotting the laces. Ensure the laces are in good condition; worn-out laces may have less friction. Consider replacing them with a different type of lace if this is a persistent issue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers require no setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have them laced correctly for a secure fit before your first run.
Compatibility:
- Activity: Primarily designed for trail running, but also suitable for light hiking and general fitness activities.
- Terrain: Best suited for park trails, dirt paths, gravel, and mixed outdoor surfaces. Can be used on roads, but may offer less responsiveness than dedicated road running shoes.
- Footwear Fit: Designed with a standard fit. If you are between sizes or prefer a roomier fit, consider ordering the next size up, though the product description states they are true to size.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Clean the trainers using a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Washing: Hand wash is recommended. If machine washing, use a gentle cycle with cold water and place trainers in a mesh bag. Remove insoles and laces before washing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
