Product Information
Full details
This guide is for adult males seeking comfortable and versatile trainers for everyday wear and light athletic activities. The key benefit is the responsive BOOST midsole combined with a breathable engineered mesh upper for sustained comfort. A potential consideration is the 10mm midsole drop, which may feel different for those accustomed to flatter shoes. These trainers feature a regular fit, lace closure, textile lining, and an Adiwear outsole for durability. Notably, they contain at least 20% recycled content, making them a more sustainable choice.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?
The Pureboost 5 trainers offer good cushioning for everyday runs, but for marathon distances, specialized running shoes designed for long-haul endurance might provide more targeted support and cushioning.
How do I clean the white mesh upper?
Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush or cloth using a mild soap and cool water solution. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, and always air dry.
What is the main benefit of the BOOST midsole?
The BOOST midsole provides excellent energy return and responsive cushioning, making the trainers feel comfortable and springy with every step.
Does the recycled content affect performance?
No, the recycled content is integrated into the manufacturing process without compromising the performance or durability of the trainers.
What is the 'midsole drop' and why is it important?
The midsole drop is the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot. A 10mm drop, like in these trainers, offers a balanced feel that can be comfortable for a wide range of activities and foot strikes.
Can I wear these for high-intensity interval training (HIIT)?
While they offer good cushioning, their design is more focused on comfort and responsiveness for lighter activities. For HIIT, shoes with more lateral stability and a flatter base might be preferable.
What does 'Adiwear outsole' mean?
Adiwear is adidas's proprietary high-abrasion rubber compound used in the outsole, known for its durability and resistance to wear, especially in high-impact areas.
Troubleshooting
Tight fit
Loosen the laces and ensure your feet are positioned correctly within the shoe. If still tight, consider if the size is appropriate or if the engineered mesh will stretch slightly with wear.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
The BOOST midsole is designed for durability, but its responsiveness may decrease with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn. Clean the shoes as per care instructions.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The Adiwear outsole provides good traction on most surfaces, but performance on extremely wet or polished surfaces may vary. Exercise caution in such conditions.
Upper material feels restrictive
The engineered mesh is designed to be supportive. Ensure laces are not overtightened. For initial wear, try wearing them for shorter periods to allow the material to conform to your foot shape.
