FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The Adistar XLG 2.0 trainers are inspired by running heritage and offer comfort for daily wear and light activities. For competitive marathon running, specialized running shoes with advanced performance features are recommended.
How do I clean the RPU moulded cage?
The RPU moulded cage can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a small amount of mild soap with the cloth and wipe clean. Ensure it is dried naturally.
What is Adiprene cushioning?
Adiprene is a highly resilient cushioning material used by adidas. It absorbs shock effectively and provides a responsive, bouncy feel underfoot, enhancing comfort during wear.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to put these trainers in a washing machine, as the agitation and heat can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
What does 'XLG' stand for?
'XLG' typically refers to an 'extra-large' or oversized silhouette, indicating the chunky and prominent design of the trainers.
How do these trainers fit compared to other adidas models?
The Adistar XLG 2.0 has a generally comfortable fit, characteristic of lifestyle trainers. Given their chunky design, it's advisable to check specific sizing guides or try them on if possible, as fit can vary between individuals and different adidas series.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for your foot.
Reduced cushioning or bounce.
Adiprene cushioning is designed for long-term performance. If you notice a significant decrease, ensure the shoes are not overly worn or exposed to extreme conditions.
Traction is poor on wet surfaces.
While the rubber tread offers good grip, performance on extremely wet surfaces can be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.
Mesh upper appears dirty.
Gently wipe the mesh with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow to air dry completely.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the mesh and RPU cage. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
