FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running outdoors?

These trainers are primarily designed for studio and gym workouts, offering stability and support for training activities. While they may handle short distances on flat, clean surfaces, they are not optimized for outdoor running and may wear down faster or provide less cushioning and support than dedicated running shoes.

How do I know if the 'regular fit' is right for me?

A 'regular fit' generally suits average foot widths. If you have particularly narrow or wide feet, it's recommended to try them on if possible or compare with other models. The lacing system allows for some adjustment, but the overall shape of the shoe is key.

What makes the sole height relevant?

The sole height, measured at 3.5 cm at its highest point, affects the shoe's stability and the user's ground feel. A moderate sole height is typical for training shoes, providing a balance between cushioning and a stable connection to the ground, which is important for lifts and controlled movements.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. The materials and construction are best maintained by spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap, and air drying.

What is the main difference between the Dropset 4 and other training shoes?

The Dropset 4 distinguishes itself through the collaboration with Stella McCartney, integrating refined design elements with adidas performance technology. Key features like the Repetitor midsole, TPU sidewall for midfoot support, and Traxion outsole are tailored for gym and studio training, offering a blend of stability, cushioning, and breathability.

How should I store these trainers when not in use?

Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storage. Keeping them in a shoe bag or their original box can help protect them from dust and damage.

What kind of exercises are the Traxion outsole best suited for?

The Traxion rubber outsole is designed to provide multi-directional grip, making it ideal for exercises that involve quick changes in direction, lateral movements, and explosive power, such as those found in cross-training, HIIT, and functional fitness routines.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or too loose

Adjust the lacing system. For a tighter fit, use the eyelets to secure the laces more firmly. For a looser fit, ease the tension on the laces, particularly around the midfoot.

Slipping during lateral movements

Ensure the laces are tied securely and the TPU sidewall is providing adequate support. Check if the outsole is clean; dirt or debris can reduce traction. If the issue persists, the shoe's fit may not be ideal for your foot shape or specific movements.

Discomfort during impact activities

Verify that the lacing is correct and the Repetitor midsole is functioning as intended. If discomfort continues, consider if the shoe's cushioning level is appropriate for the intensity and frequency of impact exercises you are performing.

Material appears to be wearing quickly

Inspect for signs of abrasion from external factors. Ensure the shoes are being used for their intended purpose (studio/gym) and not for rough outdoor activities. Clean them regularly to maintain material integrity.
