FAQs
What makes the 4D midsole different from Boost?
The 4D midsole is created using Digital Light Synthesis, a process that uses light, oxygen, and liquid resin to create a lattice structure precisely tuned for cushioning and support based on athlete data. Boost uses expanded TPU pellets for a softer, more responsive cushioning.
Is this shoe good for wide feet?
The Primeknit upper offers some flexibility and a sock-like fit which can accommodate a range of foot shapes. However, the midsole structure itself is not adjustable for width. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consider sizing up if you typically require wider footwear.
How durable is the 4D midsole?
The 4D midsole is engineered for durability and consistent performance. While it is designed to withstand regular athletic use, extreme conditions or prolonged heavy stress may affect its longevity, as with any footwear component.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash the Adidas Futurecraft 4D trainers. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the safest method to preserve the integrity of the Primeknit upper and the 4D midsole.
What is the purpose of the reflective grey three-stripes?
The reflective detailing on the three-stripes is designed to enhance visibility in low-light conditions, making the wearer more noticeable to others, which is beneficial for safety during evening or early morning activities.
What size should I order?
The product listing specifies UK sizing. It is recommended to consult a standard Adidas sizing chart for conversion to your local size or measure your foot to ensure the best fit. The 'Core Black' 2021 model is listed in UK 7.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
The Primeknit upper will stretch slightly with wear. If still too tight, consider trying a half-size up or exploring alternative lacing techniques to relieve pressure points.
Midsole feels stiff initially
The 4D midsole requires a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time as the midsole conforms to your foot.
Tread wear on the outsole
Normal wear and tear will occur with use. For accelerated wear, ensure you are not dragging your feet excessively during walking or running.
