FAQs

What is the primary intended use for the Adizero Avanti 99?

These shoes are designed for competitive middle-distance running races, specifically ranging from 3 kilometers (3K) to 10 kilometers (10K), on both track and road.

How does Lightstrike Pro cushioning work?

Lightstrike Pro is an advanced cushioning technology that is extremely lightweight while providing significant energy return, helping to make your stride feel more dynamic and faster.

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

No, the Adizero Avanti 99 is not ideal for marathon distances. Its design is optimized for shorter, faster races. For marathons, a shoe with more substantial cushioning and support would be more appropriate.

What does 'made in part with recycled materials' mean?

It means that at least 20% of the shoe's total weight is composed of recycled materials. This helps reduce waste and lessen the environmental impact of production.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the size chart provided by adidas, as running shoe sizing can differ from casual footwear. It's recommended to measure your foot and compare it to the chart. The provided size is UK 8.5.

Can I replace the spikes on the outsole?

Yes, the outsole is designed to accommodate replaceable spikes, allowing you to customize them based on race conditions and personal preference. Always use spikes compatible with the spike plate.

What is the weight of a single shoe?

A single Adizero Avanti 99 shoe weighs approximately 172 grams.

Troubleshooting

Spikes feel too stiff

The Adizero Avanti 99 features a full-length spike plate for maximum performance. They are designed to be stiff. Consider a break-in period of a few short runs or intervals to allow the shoe to adapt slightly to your foot's natural motion.

Traction seems inadequate on wet surfaces

The sharkskin grip is optimized for dry conditions. For racing in wet conditions, exercise caution as the grip may be reduced. Ensure you are using appropriate spike length for the surface.

Discomfort during longer runs

These spikes are optimized for 3K-10K races. For distances beyond 10K or for general training, consider a shoe with more cushioning and a more flexible sole.

Upper feels loose

Adjust the lacing system to ensure a secure fit. Utilize all the eyelets and consider different lacing techniques for a more locked-down feel. Ensure the shoe is the correct size for your foot.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional energy return for faster race times.
  • Very lightweight design reduces fatigue.
  • Excellent traction and grip on race surfaces.
  • Made with sustainable recycled materials.
  • Responsive cushioning enhances comfort during races.

Cons

  • Spike plate offers minimal flexibility, not ideal for casual wear.
  • Designed for specific race distances (3K-10K), may lack versatility.
  • Lightweight construction might offer less durability for heavy training.
  • Requires a break-in period for optimal comfort and performance.
  • Lacks advanced support features for overpronation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These are racing spikes, designed to be used as-is. Ensure the lace closure is snug but not overly tight to allow for natural foot movement during the race. For track use, ensure appropriate spike receptacles are present and consider the length and type of spikes allowed for your event.

Compatibility:

Primarily designed for track and road racing from 3K to 10K. They are not intended for trail running or extensive cross-training due to the specialized spike plate and lightweight construction.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After use, gently brush off any dirt or debris. Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe down the upper and outsole if necessary. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are fully dry before storing to prevent mildew.
