FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The Pureboost 5 is excellent for daily training and shorter distance runs, but runners should consider their specific arch support needs for ultra-long distance events.
How do I determine if I have a neutral foot strike?
Generally, if your shoes wear down evenly across the center of the heel and ball of the foot, you likely have a neutral gait.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Are these machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the BOOST foam and the integrity of the adhesive. Manual spot cleaning is recommended.
Do these trainers run true to size?
The Pureboost 5 follows standard sizing conventions; however, if you wear thick performance socks, you may want to ensure you have adequate toe room.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming loose during activity
Use a double knot or a runner's loop lock technique to secure the fit.
Discomfort or pinching at the forefoot
Loosen the lacing near the toe box area to allow for natural foot expansion.
Visible scuffs on the midsole
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning eraser or a very soft toothbrush with mild soap to gently buff out marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Pureboost 5 trainers maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure the lace closure is adjusted to your preferred tension. The regular fit should feel snug around the midfoot without restricting blood flow.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap to spot clean the mesh. Do not submerge the shoes or machine wash, as this can degrade the foam integrity.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature material aging.
- Durability: The Adiwear outsole is designed for hard surfaces; avoid rough off-road terrain to maximize the longevity of the tread.
