FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The Ultra Boost 1.0 DNA offers excellent cushioning and energy return, making it suitable for marathon training and shorter races. However, serious marathoners may prefer models specifically designed for maximum long-distance efficiency or stability depending on their running style.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The Primeknit upper offers a snug, adaptive fit. Try the shoes on with the type of socks you typically wear for running. They should feel secure without being overly tight, with enough room in the toe box to prevent discomfort.
Can these shoes be worn in wet conditions?
While the shoes can handle light moisture, they are not waterproof. The Primeknit upper can absorb water, and the Boost sole may become slippery on very wet surfaces. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
What is Parley Ocean Plastic?
Parley Ocean Plastic is a material created from intercepted plastic waste that is found on beaches and in coastal communities before it can reach the ocean. adidas incorporates this material into parts of the shoe's construction as part of its sustainability initiatives.
How does the Boost technology work?
Boost is made of thousands of small energy-returning capsules fused together. When you step, these capsules absorb impact and then spring back, returning energy to your stride and providing a cushioned, responsive feel.
What is the difference between Ultra Boost 1.0 and Ultra Boost 1.0 DNA?
The 'DNA' designation typically indicates a model that draws inspiration from the original design but may incorporate updated materials or slight aesthetic modifications for a contemporary feel, while retaining core performance features like the Boost sole.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or constricting
The Primeknit upper is designed to be snug. Try wearing thinner socks or gently stretching the shoe by hand. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.
Reduced cushioning or energy return
The Boost foam's performance can be affected by dirt and debris. Clean the Boost capsules with a damp cloth. Over time, Boost material naturally undergoes wear and tear; significant loss of cushioning may indicate the end of the shoe's optimal lifespan.
Discoloration of Primeknit or sole
Primeknit can pick up dirt. Use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush for cleaning. The black color, especially on the upper, may show dust more readily; regular gentle cleaning is recommended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The adidas Ultra Boost 1.0 DNA requires no assembly or setup. Simply remove them from the box, try them on, and they are ready for use.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult male foot sizes. They are compatible with most athletic socks and are suitable for a variety of surfaces commonly encountered during running and daily activities.
Care: To maintain the appearance and performance of your Ultra Boost 1.0 DNA trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the Primeknit upper with a damp cloth or a soft brush. For tougher spots, use a mild soap solution and water, then rinse lightly with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water to clean the Boost midsole and rubber outsole. Ensure all soap residue is removed.
- Laces and Insoles: Remove laces and insoles for separate cleaning. They can typically be hand-washed with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before reinserting.
- Drying: Always air dry the shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Never put them in a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage the materials and construction.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to preserve their shape and material integrity.
