FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Adizero Evo SL is designed with a regular fit and typically matches standard athletic footwear sizing.
Can I use these for long-distance runs?
While capable of various distances, these are optimized for speed and tempo training; users seeking maximum cushioning for ultra-marathons may prefer dedicated long-distance models.
Are these suitable for trails?
These are road-running trainers; the outsole is designed for hard, paved surfaces and does not offer the grip or protection required for technical trail running.
How do I best clean the mesh upper?
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid putting these trainers in a washing machine, as the heat and agitation can damage the structural integrity of the shoe.
What is the primary benefit of Lightstrike technology?
Lightstrike is engineered to be extremely lightweight while maintaining high responsiveness, which helps reduce fatigue during faster-paced running.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping during runs
Ensure the laces are tightened specifically at the midfoot area and use the top eyelet for a 'runner's loop' lock to secure the heel.
Outsole debris accumulation
Use a soft-bristled brush to clear small rocks or debris from the grooves in the rubber outsole to maintain optimal traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers feature a standard regular fit, making it recommended to select your normal athletic shoe size. To maintain the integrity of the foam and upper materials, it is important to follow proper care protocols:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild detergent to remove surface dirt.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade shoe adhesives and foam.
- Rotation: Allow the cushioning to decompress for 24 hours between long runs to extend the lifespan of the midsole foam.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup within the fabric.
