FAQs
Can I use these for marathon running?
These shoes are best suited for daily training and shorter-to-mid distances; they may lack the advanced energy return required for full-marathon racing.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The mesh upper is designed for breathability and will likely absorb water in heavy rain. They are not waterproof.
Does the shoe provide arch support?
The Questar 3 offers a neutral support profile suitable for runners with normal to slightly high arches.
How do I know if the size is correct?
You should have approximately a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Can I replace the footbed with custom orthotics?
Yes, the Cloudfoam Plus footbed can generally be removed to accommodate most standard custom orthotic insoles.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The shoe weighs approximately 306 grams based on a standard UK 8.5 size.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping at the heel
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to lock the heel more securely in place.
Accumulation of dust on mesh upper
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris from the mesh pores to restore breathability.
Soles losing traction
Check if there is a buildup of debris or oily residue on the outsole; wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas Questar 3 remains in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for shorter periods during the first two days to allow the Cloudfoam footbed to contour to your feet.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for localized stains; avoid machine washing or soaking, as this can degrade the foam and adhesive materials.
- Drying: Air dry only in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause the rubber and mesh to warp.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using a shoe tree can help maintain the shape of the upper when not in use.
- Fit Check: Ensure the lace closure is snug but not constricting to maintain circulation while ensuring the midfoot is secure.
