FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

The Response CL trainers are designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. For marathon running, dedicated performance running shoes with more advanced support and cushioning features are recommended.

How do I clean the mesh parts of the trainers?

Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush and a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh scrubbing. Allow to air dry completely.

What does ADIWEAR™ on the outsole mean?

ADIWEAR™ is a highly durable rubber compound used by adidas in specific areas of the outsole to prevent premature wear and tear, especially in high-abrasion zones.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the suede overlays offer some protection, the mesh upper is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Applying a suede protector spray can add some water resistance.

What is the FORMOTION™ technology?

FORMOTION™ is a technology designed to provide optimal motion control and stability, adapting to the natural movement of the foot on varied terrain.

What is the primary material used for the upper?

The upper primarily uses breathable white mesh, complemented by pale gray suede and synthetic leather overlays for support and style.

How does the sizing run for these trainers?

These trainers generally follow standard UK sizing. It is recommended to consult the adidas sizing chart or try them on if possible for the best fit.

Troubleshooting

Suede material looks dull or dirty

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a suede cleaner or use a slightly damp cloth, then allow to air dry completely before brushing.

Laces become worn or dirty

Laces can be carefully removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water, then air-dried. Replacement laces are readily available if needed.

Midsole shows signs of wear

While the EVA foam is designed for cushioning, it will naturally compress over time. For general wear, this is normal. If significant degradation affects comfort, consider replacement.

Outsole grip seems reduced

Check the outsole for embedded debris and clean with a brush and water. If the tread pattern is significantly worn down, the durability of the ADIWEAR™ may be reaching its limit, suggesting it's time for a new pair.

Care:

  • Cleaning: For the suede and mesh upper, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by air drying away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing.
