Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
To prepare your Adizero Avanti spikes for use, simply loosen the laces, slide your foot in, and then tighten the laces progressively from the toe to the ankle. Ensure a snug, secure fit around the midfoot without creating uncomfortable pressure points. The `lace closure` system allows for personalized adjustment.
Compatibility
These spikes are specifically designed for synthetic track surfaces and are ideal for mid to long-distance track events, such as 5k and 10k races. Their specialized construction is not suited for road running, trail running, or general training on harder, non-track surfaces, as this can damage the spikes and reduce the shoe's effectiveness.
Care
To prolong the life and maintain the performance of your Adizero Avanti spikes:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the textile upper with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. You can use a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris from the spike plate.
- Drying: Always allow the spikes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct sunlight or high heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers), as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store your spikes in a cool, dry place, ideally in a breathable shoe bag, to prevent moisture buildup and maintain their shape.
