FAQs
Are the adidas RUNFALCON 5 TR suitable for road running?
While you can run on roads with these shoes, they are specifically designed and optimized for off-road conditions like park trails and rough terrain. The grippy outsole and protective features might feel less agile on smooth pavement compared to dedicated road running shoes.
How much do these shoes weigh?
The adidas RUNFALCON 5 TR Running Shoes weigh approximately 301 grams (10.6 oz) for a UK size 8.5 (men's).
What is Cloudfoam cushioning?
Cloudfoam is adidas' signature cushioning technology designed to provide ultra-soft cushioning and comfort. It offers excellent shock absorption, making your runs feel plush and supported.
What does 'water-resistant upper' mean?
A water-resistant upper means the material can repel light splashes and moisture, helping to keep your feet drier during wet conditions like running through dew-covered grass or light rain. It is not fully waterproof, so heavy rain or full submersion will likely lead to wet feet.
What is the midsole drop of these shoes?
The midsole drop for the RUNFALCON 5 TR is 10 mm (heel: 34 mm / forefoot: 24 mm). This drop provides a traditional feel and can be comfortable for many runners.
Do these shoes have good traction on slippery surfaces?
Yes, the shoes feature an Adiwear outsole, which is known for its high-wear durability and exceptional grip. It's designed to provide optimal traction on various rough and uneven terrains.
How do I choose the correct size?
It's generally recommended to try on running shoes to ensure the best fit. For online purchases, measure your foot length and consult the adidas sizing chart. Many runners also go up half a size in running shoes compared to their casual shoes to allow for foot swelling during activity.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slippery on certain terrain.
Check the Adiwear outsole for embedded debris or excessive wear on the tread. Clean the outsole thoroughly. Adjust your running form on very wet or muddy sections to reduce slippage. If wear is significant, consider replacement.
Feet feel wet after running through puddles.
While the shoes have a water-resistant upper, they are not fully waterproof. They protect against splashes. For very deep puddles or prolonged exposure to heavy rain, water may eventually penetrate. Consider waterproof socks for extreme conditions or avoid deep water.
Discomfort or rubbing during runs.
Ensure your laces are tied correctly – not too tight, not too loose. Experiment with different lacing patterns to alleviate pressure points. Check your sock choice; moisture-wicking running socks can prevent friction. Make sure the size is correct; an ill-fitting shoe can cause issues.
Shoes retain odor after use.
Always air dry your shoes thoroughly after each run, removing the insoles to promote airflow. You can use shoe deodorizers or place dryer sheets inside them when not in use. Ensure they are stored in a well-ventilated area.
Pros and Cons

- Enhanced Safety: Reflective details improve visibility during low-light conditions.
- Durable Design: Built with a mudguard and robust materials for longevity on challenging paths.

Cons
- Potentially Heavier: At 301 g (size UK 8.5), these might feel slightly heavier than minimalist road running shoes, which could affect speed for some.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your RUNFALCON 5 TR shoes is straightforward:
- Lacing: Ensure laces are securely tied for a snug yet comfortable fit. Experiment with different lacing techniques if you experience pressure points or heel slip.
- Break-In Period: While comfortable from the start, allow for a short break-in period of a few shorter runs to fully adapt to the shoe's feel and cushioning.
Compatibility
These shoes are primarily designed for:
- Trail Running: Ideal for park trails, dirt paths, gravel roads, and light to moderate rough terrain.
- Light Hiking: Suitable for day hikes on well-maintained trails.
- Everyday Wear: The comfortable cushioning also makes them a good choice for general active use.
They are less suited for competitive track events or very technical, rocky mountain trails that might require more specialized protection and stability.
Care Instructions
Proper care extends the life and performance of your shoes:
- Cleaning Mud/Dirt: After each run, gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush (an old toothbrush works well) or wipe with a damp cloth. For stubborn mud, allow it to dry first, then brush off.
- Washing: Hand wash with mild soap and cold water if heavily soiled. Avoid using harsh detergents or putting them in a washing machine, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Remove insoles and loosen laces to allow maximum airflow. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or dryers) as this can warp materials and degrade glues.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent odors or mildew.
