FAQs
Are these shoes good for running?
These trainers are primarily designed for weightlifting and strength training, offering maximum stability. They are not optimized for running and may feel stiff or lack the necessary cushioning for prolonged running activities.
How do I know if the wide fit is right for me?
The wide fit is beneficial if you find standard-width shoes constrictive during your workouts, especially during heavy lifts where foot expansion is natural. If your feet tend to feel cramped in typical trainers, the wide fit may be suitable.
What is the REPETITOR midsole?
REPETITOR is a cushioning technology used by Adidas that provides responsive feel and durability, designed to support the demands of training.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the adhesives and materials. Hand washing with a damp cloth is the preferred method for cleaning.
What is the purpose of the TPU midfoot torsion system?
The TPU midfoot torsion system provides midfoot support and stability, crucial for preventing unwanted twisting during dynamic movements and ensuring a solid base during lifts.
How do I care for the mesh upper?
The mesh upper can be gently wiped with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking or using harsh detergents. Ensure it dries naturally to maintain its structure and breathability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Allow for a break-in period of several workouts. Ensure laces are adjusted properly, not overly tight. If discomfort persists, consider if this is the correct size and fit for your foot type.
Traction feels insufficient on certain surfaces.
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. The traction is optimized for typical gym floors; performance may vary on highly polished or uneven surfaces.
Mesh upper seems to be stretching excessively.
This is normal for breathable mesh. Ensure laces are snug to maintain a secure fit. If the stretching appears to be material defect, contact customer support.
