FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

While the Ultraboost 1.0 is designed for energy return and comfort, it is ideal for short to medium-distance runs and daily casual use.

Can I put these in the dryer?

No. Never put these shoes in a tumble dryer, as extreme heat can melt the adhesive and damage the cushioning foam.

What is the best way to remove scuffs from the black material?

Use a clean, damp cloth for light marks. For more stubborn marks, a specialized knit fabric cleaner is recommended.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The standard knit construction is breathable, not waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain or puddles.

How do I ensure I have the right fit?

The shoe should feel snug but not tight. You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Knit upper getting dirty

Use a soft-bristled brush or damp microfiber cloth with mild soap to spot-clean, then air dry away from heat sources.

Loss of bounce over time

Ensure the outsoles are free of debris and mud, which can stiffen the grip; periodically rotate your shoes to allow the foam to decompress.

Sizing feels too snug

Loosen the lacing system completely and re-lace with less tension to accommodate for a higher volume foot.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent cushioning for all-day comfort
  • Versatile black colorway fits many styles
  • Highly responsive energy return during movement
  • Lightweight and breathable design
  • Durable build quality for frequent use

Cons

  • Knit material can get wet easily in rain
  • Requires regular cleaning to keep the black finish looking crisp
  • May offer less arch support than dedicated medical-grade footwear

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Ultraboost 1.0 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  • Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, the knit upper will naturally mold to your foot shape after a few wears.
  • Cleaning: Gently scrub the outsole with a soft brush and mild soapy water. For the knit upper, spot clean using a cloth dampened with cool water. Avoid submerging the shoes fully in a washing machine, as high heat can degrade the cushioning foam.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the foam from yellowing or warping.
  • Compatibility: These trainers fit standard adult sizing (UK 5.5 in this variant). Pair with moisture-wicking socks to maximize the effectiveness of the breathable knit construction.
