Full details
The Nike Quest 5 trainers in White/Black (UK 6) are designed for adult female runners seeking a lightweight, neutral shoe for achieving new personal goals. Their key benefit lies in a smooth, comfortable ride with enhanced cushioning and reliable traction. A potential consideration is their neutral support, which may not be ideal for runners requiring significant pronation control. Key features include engineered mesh for breathability, a midfoot fitband for enhanced stability, and super-soft foam for superior underfoot cushioning.

FAQs
Who is the Nike Quest 5 trainer best suited for?
The Nike Quest 5 is ideal for adult female runners with a neutral gait who are looking for a lightweight, cushioned shoe for daily training and achieving personal running goals.
How does the midfoot fitband improve stability?
The midfoot fitband works in tandem with the laces. As you tighten the laces, the band provides a more secure, locked-down feel around the midfoot, enhancing overall stability during your run.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Yes, the enhanced cushioning makes them suitable for marathon training, especially for runners who prefer a softer ride. However, ensure they provide adequate support for your individual needs over long distances.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and light moisture but not for running in heavy rain or puddles.
How often should I replace my Nike Quest 5 trainers?
It's generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles (480-800 kilometers) or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning and support.
What is the difference between this and previous Quest models?
The Quest 5 features increased foam height for a softer sensation and improved heel-to-toe transition, along with runner-informed data used to optimize the placement of engineered mesh for better cooling.
Can I wear these for other sports besides running?
While versatile for light cross-training, they are primarily designed for running. For sports requiring specific support or grip (like basketball or tennis), dedicated shoes are recommended.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Adjust the lacing, particularly the midfoot fitband, to find a more comfortable and secure fit. Ensure you have the correct size; consider trying a half-size up if persistent discomfort occurs.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
The foam midsole will naturally compress with use. If responsiveness significantly decreases, it may be time to consider replacing the shoes, typically after 300-500 miles of running.
Slipping occurs during runs
Ensure the outsole is clean from mud or debris. For persistent issues on slick surfaces, consider if the shoe’s traction is appropriate for the conditions, or if a more specialized shoe is needed.
Mesh upper shows signs of wear or tearing
Be careful when putting on and taking off the shoes to avoid snagging. Regularly clean the shoes as per care instructions to prevent material degradation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Nike Quest 5 trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct UK size (this guide is for UK 6). Lace them up, adjusting the tightness of the laces with the integrated midfoot fitband for a secure and comfortable fit.
Compatibility: These are neutral running shoes, best suited for individuals with a neutral foot strike. They are designed for road running and general training. They are not intended for highly technical trail running or sports requiring significant lateral support.
Care: To maintain the performance and appearance of your Nike Quest 5 trainers:
- Cleaning: After runs, brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild detergent with cool water and a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and retain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
- Washing Machine: It is generally not recommended to machine wash trainers as it can damage the adhesives and materials. Hand washing is the preferred method.
