How do I know if this is the right size for me?
It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the sizing chart provided by adidas. These shoes feature a regular fit, but personal preference for snugness can vary. The lace closure allows for adjustment.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lace closure to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size based on your foot measurement.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
While the 4D midsole is durable, consistent use on abrasive surfaces can affect performance. Ensure proper care and avoid excessive wear.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The synthetic outsole provides traction on dry surfaces. Exercise caution on wet or slippery conditions, as with any running shoe.
Material wear on the textile upper
Avoid excessive abrasion against rough surfaces. Clean gently as per care instructions to maintain material integrity.
