FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Primeknit upper offers some flexibility, but the overall fit is designed for a standard width. For wider feet, it's advisable to try them on first or consider models specifically designed for wider fits.

Can I wear these for marathon running?

The UltraBoost 20 provides excellent cushioning and energy return, making it suitable for many runners. However, marathon performance can depend on individual needs; some runners may prefer shoes with more specialized support for extreme distances.

How durable is the iridescent Boost midsole?

The Boost material itself is very durable. The iridescent coating may be more susceptible to scuffing over time with heavy use or contact with abrasive surfaces compared to standard Boost.

What is the main difference between this and other UltraBoost models?

This specific model features a unique design collaboration with NASA's ISS US National Lab, incorporating space-inspired aesthetics and materials. Core technology like the Boost midsole and Primeknit upper are consistent with the UltraBoost line, but design elements and specific material nuances may vary.

How should I store these trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keeping them on a shoe rack or in a breathable shoe bag can help maintain their shape and prevent dust accumulation.

Is the Primeknit upper waterproof?

No, the Primeknit upper is breathable and designed for ventilation. It is not waterproof, though it can handle light moisture. For wet conditions, waterproof footwear would be more appropriate.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing system to achieve a more secure or relaxed fit. Ensure you are using the correct shoe size for your foot.

Midsole cushioning feels less responsive over time

Ensure the shoes are clean and free from debris, which can sometimes impact performance. Consistent use will maintain the Boost foam's properties.

Upper material shows signs of wear or pilling

Be mindful of abrasive surfaces. Gentle cleaning with a soft brush can help manage minor pilling. Avoid high-impact activities that could snag the fabric.

Traction is reduced on wet surfaces

Clean the rubber outsole to remove any embedded dirt or debris. Note that rubber outsoles, while durable, may have reduced grip on very slick or wet surfaces compared to specialized wet-traction designs.

Compatibility: Designed for adult male foot sizes (UK 10 in this specific variant). They are suitable for a wide range of athletic activities and casual wear.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to gently clean the Primeknit and mesh areas. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Wipe down the Boost midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Laces: Remove laces before cleaning and wash them separately by hand or in a laundry bag.
  5. Avoid Machine Washing/Drying: This can compromise the shoe's structure and materials.
