FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Dropset 3 trainers are primarily designed for strength training and may not provide the optimal cushioning or support for extensive running. Their focus is on stability for lifting movements.
How do I know if the wider fit is right for me?
If your feet tend to swell during workouts, or if you find standard-width shoes restrictive, the wider fit of the Dropset 3 could be beneficial. However, if you have very narrow feet, they might feel too loose even when laced tightly.
What is the heel drop and why is it important?
The heel drop is the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot. A 6mm heel drop provides a stable platform for lifting, promoting better posture and depth during squats and other compound movements.
Can I wear these for everyday casual use?
While comfortable, the design of the Dropset 3 is optimized for athletic performance. For everyday casual wear, other shoe styles might offer more comfort and be more aesthetically suited.
How do I clean the trainers?
Use a damp cloth to wipe the exterior. For tougher spots, a small amount of mild soap can be used. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Do these shoes contain recycled materials?
Yes, the Dropset 3 trainers contain at least 20% recycled content in their construction, contributing to sustainability efforts.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel unstable during lifts.
Ensure the lacing system is adjusted correctly to provide optimal midfoot lockdown. Check that the Geofit Sensepods are cradling your heel properly.
Shoes feel too tight or restrictive.
Loosen the lacing system. The wider fit is designed to accommodate swelling, so allow for natural foot expansion during workouts. If they remain too tight, consider if this model is the best fit for your foot shape.
Traction is poor on gym flooring.
Clean the Adiwear 6 outsole to remove any dust, sweat, or debris that may be reducing grip. Ensure the gym floor itself is clean.
Feet feel overly warm during workouts.
While HEAT.RDY enhances breathability, ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. Check that laces are not tied so tightly that they impede airflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Dropset 3 trainers feature an adjustable lacing system. To achieve the best fit, lace them snugly but not overly tight, ensuring your heel is locked into the Geofit Sensepods. The wider fit means you may not need to overtighten them to achieve a secure feel.
Compatibility: These trainers are optimized for indoor gym use, particularly for weightlifting, powerlifting, cross-training, and general strength conditioning. They are best paired with performance training apparel.
Care: To clean your Dropset 3 trainers, use a damp cloth to wipe down the upper and midsole. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap can be used sparingly. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the materials and construction. Regularly check the outsole for debris.
