Product Information
Full details
The adidas RUNFALCON 5 TR Running Shoes are designed for adult male runners seeking a versatile and comfortable option for daily training across mixed terrain. Their key win lies in combining responsive cushioning with trail-ready features like a water-repellent upper and durable outsole, making them suitable for various conditions. One consideration for some runners might be the weight, at 301g for a UK 8.5, which is moderate for a running shoe but not ultra-light for competitive speed work.

FAQs
Are the adidas RUNFALCON 5 TR shoes waterproof?
No, these shoes feature a water-repellent mesh upper, meaning they are designed to resist light moisture and splashes, helping to keep your feet drier in damp conditions. They are not fully waterproof and will not prevent water entry in heavy rain or deep puddles.
What kind of terrain are these shoes best suited for?
The 'TR' in the name signifies 'trail ready.' These shoes are versatile and perform well on various surfaces including paved roads, gravel paths, and light to moderate dirt trails. The Adiwear outsole provides durable traction for mixed terrain.
What is Cloudfoam?
Cloudfoam is a proprietary EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) foam compound used in adidas midsoles. It's designed to provide soft, plush cushioning and excellent shock absorption for enhanced comfort during running and walking.
How should I clean my RUNFALCON 5 TR shoes?
We recommend hand washing your shoes with a mild soap and cold water. Use a soft brush or cloth for cleaning. After washing, remove the insoles, stuff the shoes with newspaper, and allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Are these shoes suitable for competitive racing?
The RUNFALCON 5 TR is primarily designed as a comfortable and durable daily trainer for a wide range of activities and mixed terrain. While you can certainly race in them, their moderate weight (301g for UK 8.5) might make them less ideal for runners seeking ultra-light, minimalist shoes specifically engineered for competitive speed.
What is the midsole drop of these shoes?
The midsole drop is 10 mm, with a heel height of 34 mm and a forefoot height of 24 mm. This traditional drop provides a balanced feel suitable for many runners.
Troubleshooting
My feet still get wet, despite the water-repellent upper.
The shoes are water-repellent, not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, deep puddles, or prolonged exposure to moisture, water may still penetrate. Ensure you're wearing appropriate socks (e.g., synthetic blends that wick moisture) and consider the limits of water-repellency for the conditions you're running in.
I'm experiencing discomfort or blisters during my runs.
First, check your lacing – ensure it's snug but not too tight. Experiment with different lacing patterns if needed. Verify you're wearing appropriate running socks that are clean and dry. If the shoes are new, allow for a break-in period. If issues persist, consider whether the shoe's fit (e.g., width or arch support) is truly compatible with your foot shape.
The outsole grip seems to be diminishing.
Inspect the Adiwear outsole for embedded debris (small rocks, mud) and clean it thoroughly. Wear and tear on the outsole is normal over time; if the tread is significantly worn down, it might be time to replace your shoes. Ensure you're using the shoes on appropriate terrain, as extreme conditions can prematurely wear down the grip.
The reflective details aren't as bright as I expected.
Reflective details work by bouncing back light from a source (like car headlights). Ensure there's an external light source directed at the shoes. Over time, dirt and grime can obscure reflective properties; gently clean the reflective areas with a damp cloth.
Pros and Cons

Cons
- Moderate Weight: At 301g (UK 8.5), these might feel a bit heavier for runners focused purely on speed or racing.

- Regular Fit: May not be ideal for individuals with very wide or exceptionally narrow feet without trying them on first.
Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
- Lacing: Utilize the traditional lace closure to achieve a snug, secure fit. Experiment with different lacing techniques if you experience pressure points or heel slippage.
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, allow for a short break-in period of a few runs to fully adapt the shoes to your foot mechanics.
Compatibility

- Foot Type: Best suited for neutral pronation, offering a balanced ride without excessive support for overpronation or underpronation.
- Terrain: Ideal for road, gravel paths, and light to moderate trails.
Care
To maximize the lifespan and maintain the performance of your RUNFALCON 5 TR Running Shoes, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: After each use, especially if running in muddy conditions, gently brush off loose dirt. For more thorough cleaning, hand wash the shoes using a mild soap (like dish soap) and cold water. Use a soft brush or cloth to scrub the mesh upper and outsole.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes. Remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Avoid Machine Washing/Drying: Do not put your running shoes in a washing machine or dryer, as this can severely damage the materials and construction.
