Product Information
Full details
The adidas Questar 3 is designed for neutral runners seeking a reliable, low-profile trainer for short-distance training sessions. These shoes deliver a balance of comfort and responsiveness, thanks to their combination of Bounce 2.0 cushioning and a Cloudfoam Plus footbed. While they excel in daily comfort and breathability, they are best suited for road or treadmill use rather than long-distance endurance marathons.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Questar 3 is a neutral running shoe. If you have flat feet, you may want to consult a podiatrist to see if an additional arch support insert is recommended.
Can I use these for cross-training?
While primarily for running, the low-profile design and responsive midsole make them stable enough for light gym work, though they are not intended for heavy lifting.
How do I know if they are a neutral shoe?
Neutral shoes are designed for runners who do not over-pronate (roll inward excessively) or under-pronate, meaning they provide cushioning rather than corrective stability.
Are they water-resistant?
No, these shoes feature a breathable mesh upper, which means they will allow water to pass through if running in heavy rain.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The shoe weighs approximately 306g in a standard size UK 8.5.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after a run
Feet often swell slightly during exercise; ensure you are lacing your shoes just tight enough for support without cutting off circulation.
Visible debris in the tread
Use a small brush or a toothpick to gently remove gravel or small stones stuck in the rubber outsole to restore optimal grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Questar 3 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These trainers are designed to be true-to-size. For a standard running fit, order your usual size.
- Cleaning: Do not put these shoes in the washing machine. Instead, remove surface dirt with a soft brush and wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources like radiators, which can warp the midsole foam.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the breathable mesh and cushioning materials.
