Product Information
Full details
The adidas Ultra Boost 5.0 trainers in black, UK size 12, are designed for adult males seeking exceptional comfort and responsive performance for both running and daily wear. Their key benefit lies in the Boost midsole for superior energy return and the Primeknit upper for a adaptive, sock-like fit. A potential caveat is that while versatile, they are optimized for running performance, which might influence preference for purely casual, non-athletic footwear.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The Primeknit upper offers a flexible and adaptive fit, which can accommodate slightly wider feet. However, if you have significantly wide feet, it's recommended to try them on if possible or consider other models specifically designed for width.
How do I clean the Boost midsole?
You can clean the Boost midsole using a damp cloth with a little mild soap. Gently scrub away dirt and scuffs. Rinse the cloth and wipe down the midsole to remove soap residue.
Can I use these for other sports besides running?
While primarily designed for running, their cushioning and support make them suitable for cross-training and general gym workouts. For sports requiring specific ankle support or specialized traction (like basketball or football), dedicated shoes are recommended.
What is the main difference between Ultra Boost 5.0 and other versions?
The Ultra Boost 5.0 typically features refinements in the Primeknit pattern, midsole technology, and outsole design compared to earlier versions, aiming for enhanced comfort, performance, and durability.
How long does the Boost cushioning typically last?
The Boost cushioning is known for its durability and resistance to breaking down over time and temperature changes. With proper care, the responsive feel can last for hundreds of miles of running or extensive daily wear.
Is the 'triple black' colourway machine washable?
It is strongly advised not to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the recommended method to preserve the integrity of the materials and cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Unusual squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between the sole and midsole. Try ensuring the shoes are completely dry. If the sound persists, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.
Tight fit after initial wear
The Primeknit upper is designed to stretch slightly and conform to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in. If still too tight, ensure you have the correct size.
Reduced cushioning effect
The Boost foam is durable, but its responsiveness can be affected by extreme temperatures or prolonged exposure to solvents. Ensure proper care and avoid exposing the shoes to harsh chemicals.
