FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?
The Ultrarun 5 is excellent for daily training and medium-distance road running, though personal preference for marathon gear varies.
Can I put these shoes in the dryer?
No, you should never place them in a dryer. High heat will damage the Bounce 2.0 foam and the adhesive holding the outsole.
Are they waterproof?
No, they feature a breathable mesh upper designed to allow airflow, meaning they are not waterproof.
How often should I replace them?
Typically, running shoes should be replaced every 500 to 800 kilometres, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Can I use these for trail running?
These are optimized for tarmac and road surfaces. The tread pattern is not aggressive enough for loose or muddy trail terrain.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt stuck in mesh
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge debris; do not use sharp objects that might puncture the fabric.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness
Check if the insoles are properly seated and flat; if worn out, replace the insole with an orthotic or standard replacement.
Slippage on smooth surfaces
Clean the Adiwear outsole with a damp cloth to remove any oil or residue that may have accumulated on the tread.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your adidas Ultrarun 5 trainers, proper care is essential:
- Sizing: Ensure you have selected your correct UK size, as the structure is designed for a performance fit.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after use. If deeper cleaning is needed, wipe the mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid soaking the shoe or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the internal foam.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can deform the foam and rubber components.
- Rotation: Allow the cushioning to recover by alternating your shoes if you run daily.
