FAQs
Can I use these for marathon running?
The Ultrarun 5 is designed for daily training and shorter distance runs; while comfortable, specialized long-distance marathon shoes may offer more specific energy return.
Are these machine washable?
It is recommended to hand clean with a damp cloth. Machine washing can damage the adhesives and the cushioning properties of the foam.
Is the sizing true to size?
Yes, the Ultrarun 5 follows standard adidas adult sizing; however, if you plan to wear thick performance socks, some users prefer a half-size up.
How often should I replace these shoes?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and intensity.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
The shoes offer a neutral platform with moderate support from the OrthoLite sockliner; for specific medical needs, consider adding custom orthotics.
What does the 10mm drop mean?
The drop refers to the height difference between the heel (34mm) and the forefoot (24mm), which helps encourage a smooth heel-to-toe transition while running.
Troubleshooting
Feeling too tight around the midfoot
Adjust the lacing system to a 'window' or 'gap' lacing pattern to relieve pressure on the top of the foot.
Outsole collecting debris in tread
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove stones or compacted dirt from the Adiwear lugs to maintain grip.
Interior moisture buildup
Remove the OrthoLite sockliner and allow it to air dry outside the shoe in a shaded, well-ventilated area after runs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Ultrarun 5s perform optimally, perform an initial lace adjustment to find your preferred tension; the regular fit is designed to accommodate standard foot widths comfortably. Compatibility is highest on paved surfaces, indoor tracks, and gym equipment. For care, keep the shoes away from high-heat sources to maintain the integrity of the cushioning foam. To clean, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and use a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or placing them in a machine dryer, as this can degrade the specialized midsole materials.
