FAQs
What is the main benefit of the DREAMSTRIKE midsole?
The DREAMSTRIKE midsole is designed to offer a combination of soft cushioning for comfort and a responsive feel to help propel you forward during your run.
Are these shoes suitable for racing?
While they offer good performance, their weight of 282g makes them more suited for daily training and longer runs rather than elite-level speed racing, where lighter shoes are typically preferred.
What type of foot strike is the 8mm drop best for?
An 8mm drop is versatile and generally suits runners with a midfoot or forefoot strike, promoting a natural gait cycle. However, individual comfort can vary.
How should I clean my Supernova Glide trainers?
Gently clean the exterior with a damp cloth and a soft brush. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals. Always air dry away from direct heat.
What is the weight of these trainers?
The adidas Supernova Glide trainers weigh approximately 282 grams for a men's size.
Can I use these shoes for cross-training or gym workouts?
While they can be used for light gym activities, their design is optimized for running. For dedicated strength training or gym workouts, specialized shoes may offer better stability and support.
What is the difference between these and other adidas running shoe series?
The Supernova series typically focuses on providing a balance of cushioning and responsiveness for everyday mileage. Other series might emphasize lightweight speed, maximum cushioning, or stability features more heavily.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing pattern. Ensure the laces are tied securely but not overly tight. Consider if the UK size is appropriate for your foot.
Reduced cushioning after several uses.
While designed for durability, all cushioning will gradually compress. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry, as external factors can sometimes affect perceived cushioning. If significant degradation occurs, consider replacement based on mileage.
Slipping on wet surfaces.
The rubber outsole provides traction, but performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.
Discomfort during runs.
Ensure the correct size is selected. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter runs before attempting long distances. Check for any debris inside the shoe.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt from the upper and outsole. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
