Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your Adizero Avanti shoes are largely ready for action right out of the box. The six-spike pin configuration means you can customize or replace spikes as needed. Typically, new spikes come pre-installed or included separately. Ensure all spikes are securely tightened before your first use. Use a spike wrench (often included with track spikes or sold separately) to confirm tightness.
Compatibility
These shoes are specifically designed for track and field events. Their spike plate and outsole grip are optimized for synthetic track surfaces. They are not recommended for use on roads, trails, or indoor courts, as this can damage the spikes and outsole, and compromise performance.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Adizero Avanti shoes. Always refer to the product label inside the shoe for specific care instructions, as materials and recommendations can vary. Generally, track spikes should be:
- Cleaned after each use: Gently wipe off dirt and track residue with a damp cloth.
- Air-dried: Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Stored properly: Keep them in a cool, dry place. Consider a shoe bag to protect them and prevent dirt from spreading.
- Spike maintenance: Regularly check spikes for wear or looseness. Replace worn spikes to maintain optimal grip.
