FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they are generally true to size, but because of the snug-fitting upper, those who prefer more room may consider going up half a size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can compromise the structure and the adhesive bonds of the shoe.
Are they suitable for long-distance marathons?
Many runners find the Ultraboost series comfortable for long distances due to the high-energy return of the cushioning.
What is the weight difference between sizes?
While minor, there is a slight increase in weight as the size increases due to the amount of material used in the sole.
Does the black color fade quickly?
The high-quality materials are designed to resist fading, though prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may eventually affect the deep black pigment.
Are these for overpronation?
The Ultraboost 20 is generally categorized as a neutral trainer; those requiring significant stability for overpronation should consult with a specialist.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on top of the foot
Try a different lacing technique, such as the window lacing method, to reduce tension across the arch.
Soles becoming slippery
Check the outsole for compacted debris or mud; clean with a stiff brush to restore traction.
Odour buildup
Remove the insoles after use to let them dry independently and consider using an antibacterial spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Ultraboost 20s last, follow these maintenance tips:
- Break-in: Wear them for short, low-intensity sessions to allow the material to adapt to your unique foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a dry brush. Use a mild detergent and a damp cloth for surface stains; avoid submerging them in water.
- Drying: Air dry only. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high temperatures can damage the cushioning properties of the sole.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup within the fabric.
