adidas Runfalcon 5 TR Running Shoes - Black - 9 UK

No, these shoes are water-repellent, not fully waterproof. The tightly knit mesh upper is designed to shed splashes and resist light rain, helping to keep your feet drier in damp conditions. For heavy rain or submersion, water may eventually penetrate.

While you can technically use them on roads, the Runfalcon 5 TR shoes are specifically designed with a lugged Adiwear outsole for optimal performance on off-road terrains like park trails and uneven paths. For dedicated road running, shoes with a smoother outsole and different cushioning profiles might be more suitable.

Cloudfoam is adidas' proprietary cushioning technology designed to provide a soft, comfortable, and supportive feel. It offers excellent impact absorption and a plush sensation from the moment you step into the shoe and throughout your run.

For general cleaning, wipe the upper with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For mud, let it dry first, then gently brush it off. Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

Yes, the adidas Runfalcon 5 TR shoes are partially made with recycled materials, reflecting adidas' commitment to reducing plastic waste and promoting sustainability.

The Adiwear outsole refers to adidas' durable, non-marking rubber compound that provides excellent grip and high-wear durability. For the Runfalcon 5 TR, it features a directional lug pattern specifically engineered for superior traction and stability on various off-road and uneven surfaces, enhancing your performance on trails.

adidas running shoes generally run true to size. We recommend trying them on with your usual running socks to ensure a comfortable and secure fit, leaving a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the shoe's end.

The Runfalcon 5 TR shoes are water-repellent, meaning they shed splashes and resist light rain. They are not fully waterproof. If you're running in heavy downpours, through deep puddles, or in very wet conditions for extended periods, moisture may penetrate the shoes. Consider gaiters for additional protection or choose fully waterproof footwear for extreme wet weather.

First, ensure you have the correct size and fit. Too loose or too tight can cause issues. Check your lacing technique; adjust to provide support without excessive pressure. Ensure your running socks are appropriate for trail running (moisture-wicking, seamless). If the problem persists, consider a professional gait analysis to check if the shoe's support aligns with your foot mechanics.

While the Adiwear outsole provides superior grip on most off-road terrains, no shoe can guarantee absolute traction on extremely slick ice, very thick, wet mud, or loose, fine scree. Adjust your stride and pace to suit the conditions. For unusually challenging slippery terrain, specialized footwear with deeper, more aggressive lugs or traction devices might be necessary.

Remove the insoles after each run and allow both the shoes and insoles to air dry thoroughly. Ensure they are completely dry before storing. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight (and vacuum it out before wearing) to absorb odors. Avoid storing damp shoes in enclosed spaces.
