FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running outdoors?

These trainers are optimized for indoor gym and studio training. While they offer good traction, they are not specifically designed for the demands of outdoor running surfaces, which may lead to premature wear or less-than-ideal performance.

How do I determine the right size?

The product specifies a regular fit. It is recommended to refer to Adidas's sizing guide and consider your usual trainer size. Trying them on if possible, or checking reviews related to fit, can be helpful.

What is the primary benefit of the Repetitor midsole?

The Repetitor midsole is designed to provide a balance of cushioning for shock absorption during impact and stability for reliable support during training movements.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap, followed by air drying, is the preferred method to maintain the integrity of the materials and construction.

What does the TPU sidewall do?

The TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) sidewall is integrated to enhance midfoot support and stability, crucial for preventing excessive pronation or supination during dynamic exercises.

What kind of workouts are these best suited for?

They are ideal for studio sessions, gym workouts, HIIT, circuit training, and general fitness activities that require a combination of stability, support, and breathability.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight during wear

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring the pressure is evenly distributed. If the issue persists, consider using thinner socks or exploring an insole that offers a more contoured fit.

Slight slippage in the heel

Ensure the laces are tied securely, particularly the top eyelets, to create a snug heel lock. You may also consider using heel grips or inserts.

Outsole grip feels reduced

Clean the outsole tread with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or dust that might be reducing traction. Check for excessive wear on the rubber.

Discomfort from the midsole cushioning

Allow a break-in period of a few workouts. If discomfort continues, the shoe's cushioning profile might not suit your specific biomechanics or preferences.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent ventilation keeps feet dry and comfortable.
  • Provides reliable midfoot support for stability during exercises.
  • High-traction outsole offers secure footing on diverse gym surfaces.
  • Combines fashion-forward design with practical training functionality.
  • Repetitor midsole offers a good balance of cushioning and responsiveness.

Cons

  • Regular fit might not be ideal for extremely narrow or wide feet without adjustments.
  • Low-cut silhouette may offer less ankle support compared to higher-cut shoes.
  • Sole height (3.5 cm at highest point) might be a factor for specific training preferences.
  • Primarily designed for studio and gym use, may not be optimal for outdoor running.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers come ready to wear. Ensure they fit comfortably before your first workout. Adjust the lacing to your preferred tightness for optimal support.

Compatibility: Ideal for a variety of indoor training activities including gym workouts, studio classes (like HIIT, circuit training, and general fitness), and cross-training. They are not specifically designed for outdoor running or trail use.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently clean the textile and synthetic upper. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap diluted with water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe the midsole and outsole with a damp cloth. Ensure any debris is removed from the outsole tread.
  3. Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources (like radiators or hairdryers), as this can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
