Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the adidas Runfalcon 5 TR features a water-repellent mesh upper, which means it will shed light rain and splashes. It is not fully waterproof and is not designed for heavy downpours or submersion.
Can I use these shoes for road running?
While you can technically run on roads, these shoes are specifically designed for trail running. The aggressive lug pattern of the Adiwear outsole is optimized for off-road grip and may wear down faster or feel less efficient on hard, paved surfaces.
How do I clean my Runfalcon 5 TR shoes?
Remove loose dirt with a soft brush, then wipe the upper and outsole with a damp cloth using a small amount of mild soap if necessary. Remove insoles and air dry away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
What is Cloudfoam technology?
Cloudfoam is an adidas midsole cushioning technology that provides superior comfort and shock absorption. It delivers an ultra-soft step with endless cushioning, enhancing your running experience.
What does 'Adiwear outsole' mean?
Adiwear is a highly durable, non-marking rubber outsole used by adidas that provides excellent grip and extends the life of the shoe, especially on tough trail surfaces.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The Runfalcon 5 TR is designed with a 'regular fit.' Most users find their usual adidas size to be appropriate. However, it's always recommended to try them on to ensure the best fit, especially if you plan to wear specific running socks.
Are these shoes suitable for winter running?
The water-repellent feature helps in damp conditions, and reflective details aid visibility in darker winter months. However, they are not insulated, so for very cold temperatures or deep snow, additional warmth or specialized winter running gear may be needed.
Troubleshooting
My feet are getting wet during runs.
The Runfalcon 5 TR shoes feature a water-repellent upper, designed for light rain and splashes, not complete waterproofing. For heavy rain or very wet conditions, consider waterproof socks or fully waterproof trail shoes. Ensure no large gaps in lacing allow water entry.
I'm experiencing poor grip on extremely slippery or muddy surfaces.
While the Adiwear outsole offers superior grip, no shoe can guarantee absolute traction on all surfaces. On very slick mud or ice, adjust your running style, reduce speed, and exercise caution. Clean out any mud accumulated in the lugs after runs to maintain optimal grip.
The shoes feel a bit heavy during longer runs.
The Runfalcon 5 TR has a reported weight of 301g (UK 8.5), which includes robust features like the Adiwear outsole and Cloudfoam midsole. If you prefer a lighter feel for faster or shorter runs, consider adidas's lighter trail running models. Ensure you are well-hydrated and fueled, as fatigue can amplify the sensation of weight.
Laces come undone frequently during runs.
Try different lacing techniques, such as a double knot or a 'surgeon's knot,' which creates more friction and helps keep laces tied securely on trails. Ensure the laces are tightened firmly but not uncomfortably.
Foot discomfort or rubbing.
Ensure you have the correct size. Break in new shoes with shorter runs before attempting long distances. Check your socks; moisture-wicking athletic socks can prevent friction and blisters. Review your lacing pattern to see if adjusting tightness in certain areas helps.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your adidas Runfalcon 5 TR Running Shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply unlace them, slip your feet in, and adjust the laces for a comfortable, secure fit. Ensure your heel is seated firmly at the back of the shoe and there's about a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe for optimal comfort during activity.
Compatibility
- Terrain: Primarily designed for off-road trail running, including dirt paths, gravel roads, grassy fields, and moderately technical trails. While they can be used on asphalt for short transitions, their aggressive lug pattern is optimized for soft, uneven surfaces.
- Weather: Suitable for dry to lightly wet conditions, thanks to the water-repellent upper. The reflective details enhance visibility in low light.
- Fit: Features a 'regular fit', which means it should accommodate most standard foot shapes comfortably. Consider your usual adidas shoe size.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: After each trail run, especially in muddy conditions, gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush or old toothbrush. Wipe the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not machine wash or machine dry, as this can damage the materials and technologies.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture. Allow them to air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can cause cracking or shrinking.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve material integrity.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the outsole for embedded rocks or debris that could affect grip. Check the upper for any signs of wear or damage that might require attention.
