FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the adidas Ultrarun 5 is designed to fit true to size for most users.
Can I use these for trail running?
These are optimized for asphalt and road use. While they can handle light gravel, they lack the aggressive lugs needed for technical trails.
How do I wash the Ortholite sockliners?
It is best to remove them and hand wash with mild soap and cold water, then air dry completely before reinserting.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The Ultrarun 5 features a 10 mm heel-to-toe drop.
Are these suitable for people with wide feet?
The shoes feature a standard fit with a round toe box. Those with very wide feet may find them snug, though the upper material offers some flexibility.
How long will the adiWEAR outsole last?
The adiWEAR technology is designed for high abrasion resistance, typically lasting for several hundred miles depending on your running surface and gait.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels tight during a run
Try re-lacing the shoes using the 'runner's loop' or loosen the laces across the midfoot to allow for natural foot swelling.
Slippage in the heel
Ensure the heel is fully seated in the back of the shoe and use the final eyelet for a more secure lockdown.
Excessive moisture buildup
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking synthetic running socks rather than thick cotton socks to aid the Ortholite liner's performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Ultrarun 5 trainers, proper care is essential. When you first receive your pair, ensure the laces are adjusted to accommodate your midfoot width to prevent unnecessary tension.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe off surface dirt with a soft brush or a damp cloth. Do not submerge the shoes in water for extended periods.
- Drying: Air dry only. Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as high heat can damage the foam and adhesive components.
- Sockliner Maintenance: If the Ortholite sockliner becomes damp after a rainy run, remove it and let it air dry separately to maintain its antimicrobial properties.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the cushioning materials.
