FAQs
Are the Questar 3 shoes waterproof?
No, they feature a breathable mesh upper designed for ventilation, which means they are not waterproof and will let water through if stepped in puddles.
Can these be used for weightlifting?
While they provide good general stability, the cushioning is designed for running. For heavy weightlifting, a flatter, firmer shoe is generally recommended.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the Cloudfoam Plus footbed can be removed if you prefer to use your own orthotic insoles.
How often should I replace these shoes?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and the surfaces you frequent.
What does the 5 mm drop mean?
The drop refers to the height difference between the heel (29 mm) and the forefoot (24 mm); a 5 mm drop provides a balanced feel for both heel and midfoot strikers.
Does this model contain any animal products?
The Questar 3 uses synthetic materials, mesh, and textile linings, aligning with adidas' efforts to reduce reliance on certain raw materials.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of heel slippage
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique using the additional eyelet at the top of the shoe to lock the heel in place.
Upper mesh accumulation of dirt
Use a soft-bristled brush or an old toothbrush with mild soapy water to gently scrub the mesh, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth.
Foot discomfort during long runs
Ensure you are using the correct size; if the foot continues to ache, consider upgrading to an aftermarket insole with higher arch support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup and Fit: The Questar 3 fits true to size. When unboxing, ensure the laces are loosened entirely to allow for a proper foot entry. Tighten the lace closure from the toe box upwards to achieve a snug but comfortable fit that secures the midfoot.
Compatibility: These shoes are categorized as neutral running trainers, making them compatible with most runners who do not require specific corrective orthotics.
Care Instructions: To extend the life of your running shoes:
- Clean the exterior mesh using a soft brush to remove dust and dried mud.
- Wipe the midsole with a damp cloth; avoid submerging in water.
- Always air dry at room temperature; keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent glue deterioration.
- Remove the insole after exceptionally sweaty runs to allow the interior to dry thoroughly.
