FAQs
Are these shoes good for running?
The Dropset 4 trainers are designed for strength and stability. They are suitable for short sprints or quick bursts of running integrated into a training session, but not for long-distance running.
What is Repetitor technology?
Repetitor technology is an adidas cushioning system designed to provide constant energy return and increased stability, aiding performance in power-focused training.
How do I clean my Dropset 4 trainers?
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing and allow shoes to air dry naturally.
Can I wear these for CrossFit?
Yes, the Dropset 4 trainers are versatile and well-suited for many CrossFit workouts that involve weightlifting, dynamic movements, and short cardio intervals.
What makes the outsole grip effective?
The outsole is made with Continental™ rubber, known for its durability and exceptional grip on a variety of indoor surfaces, providing a stable foundation during training.
Is the fit true to size?
The trainers are listed as a standard fit. It is recommended to check the size guide and consider the type of socks you typically wear for training when selecting your size.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Loosen the laces and re-tie, ensuring a more relaxed fit. Try wearing them with different types of athletic socks. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if a break-in period is needed.
Reduced grip on certain surfaces
Ensure the Continental™ rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. If the shoes have been exposed to excessive dirt or oil, clean the outsole with a damp cloth and allow to dry.
Insole feels slippery
Remove the insole and clean it with a damp cloth. Ensure the interior of the shoe is also dry before reinserting the insole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Dropset 4 trainers come ready to wear. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a snug but comfortable fit before your first workout. The adjustable lacing system allows for fine-tuning to your preference.
Compatibility: These trainers are best suited for gym-based activities, including weightlifting, strength training, HIIT, and cross-training. They are compatible with most standard gym flooring and weightlifting equipment. They are not recommended for prolonged running or sports requiring significant lateral agility beyond typical training movements.

Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat sources. For the insole, remove it and clean separately if needed.
