FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for serious running?
The Ultraboost 1.0 is excellent for daily training runs, walks, and general fitness activities, offering great cushioning and energy return. For marathon distances or highly specialized speed work, some runners might prefer more specific performance models, but for most users, they perform very well.
How do I clean the PRIMEKNIT upper?
Gently brush off loose dirt. Mix mild soap with lukewarm water and use a soft cloth to wipe the knit material. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth. Always air dry away from direct heat. Do not machine wash.
What is BOOST technology?
BOOST is a midsole technology developed by adidas using thousands of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) pellets. These pellets are fused together to create a material that provides incredible energy return, soft cushioning, and durability across various temperatures.
Are these shoes true to size?
Generally, adidas Ultraboost models are considered true to size. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. It's recommended to try them on to ensure the best fit, especially with the adaptive PRIMEKNIT upper.
Can I wear these for gym workouts?
Yes, they are suitable for many gym activities, including cardio, light strength training, and general fitness classes due to their comfort and stability. For heavy lifting or highly dynamic lateral movements, a shoe with a flatter, wider base might be more appropriate.
What does 'Parley Ocean Plastic' mean?
Parley Ocean Plastic is a material created from plastic waste collected from remote islands, beaches, and coastal communities, preventing it from polluting the ocean. By using this, adidas aims to reduce marine plastic pollution.
Is the Continental Rubber outsole durable?
Yes, the Continental Rubber outsole is known for its excellent durability and superior grip in both wet and dry conditions, making it a reliable choice for long-term wear and varied surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct UK size. Check your lacing technique; sometimes loosening the laces over the instep can improve comfort. The PRIMEKNIT upper is designed to adapt, but if persistent, consider trying half a size up or down if possible.
Slipping or poor grip on wet surfaces.
While Continental Rubber offers excellent traction, excessive mud or very slick surfaces can still pose a challenge. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. If the problem persists, check the wear pattern on the outsole; worn tread can reduce grip and may indicate it's time for a new pair.
Shoes develop an odor.
Remove the insoles after each use and allow the shoes to air out completely. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure shoes are thoroughly dry before storing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Setting up your Ultraboost 1.0 trainers is straightforward:
- Lacing: Unlace the shoes sufficiently to easily slide your foot in.
- Insert Foot: Place your foot firmly inside the shoe, ensuring your heel is seated correctly in the Fitcounter.
- Tighten Laces: Starting from the bottom eyelets, pull the laces snugly but not too tightly. Adjust them for a comfortable, secure fit across your instep. You should be able to wiggle your toes slightly.
- Double Knot: Tie a secure double knot to prevent laces from coming undone during activity.

- Gym workouts (excluding highly specialized lifting or agility drills)
Care
To ensure the longevity and performance of your adidas Ultraboost 1.0 trainers, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper (PRIMEKNIT):
- Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush.
- Mix a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap) with lukewarm water.
- Use a soft cloth or sponge, dampened with the soapy solution, to gently wipe down the PRIMEKNIT material.
- Avoid harsh scrubbing to prevent damage to the knit.
- Rinse the cloth with clean water and wipe away any soap residue.
- Cleaning the Midsole (BOOST):
- For the white BOOST material, a mild soap solution and a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) can be used to gently scrub away dirt.
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Outsole (Continental Rubber):
- Use a stiff brush and water to remove dirt and debris from the tread.
- Drying: Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent material degradation.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically and let shoes air out. Consider using shoe deodorizers if necessary.
