Product Information
Full details
The adidas Adizero Avanti 99 Trainers are lightweight running spikes designed for adult unisex athletes competing in 3K to 10K races. They offer a superior combination of lightweight cushioning and explosive energy return, thanks to the Lightstrike Pro midsole, enabling faster transitions from start to finish. A key caveat is their specialized design, which might not be ideal for all training conditions or longer race distances. These trainers feature a regular fit, lace closure, mesh upper for breathability, and a full-length spike plate with a sharkskin grip for maximum traction and a powerful toe-off.

FAQs
What distances are these trainers best suited for?
The Adizero Avanti 99 are specifically designed for races ranging from 3K to 10K.
Can I use these for general training runs?
These are specialized racing spikes and are not recommended for general training runs, especially on hard surfaces, as this can damage the spike plate and reduce their performance for racing.
How do I check the size guide for these trainers?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by adidas, typically based on UK, EU, or US men's and women's sizing. Given these are unisex, it's best to consult the specific measurements.
What is the main benefit of the Lightstrike Pro midsole?
The Lightstrike Pro midsole offers a combination of super-light cushioning and high energy return, designed to enhance speed and responsiveness during races.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are suitable for dry track or firm cross-country conditions.
How much do the trainers weigh?
The trainers weigh approximately 172 grams, contributing to their lightweight feel for speed.
What does the '20% recycled materials' mean?
It means that at least 20% of the shoe's total weight is made from recycled materials, which helps to reduce waste and the environmental impact of production.
Troubleshooting
Spikes feel loose or wobbly.
Use a spike wrench to tighten all spikes securely. Check for damaged or missing spike receptacles.
Shoes feel uncomfortable or cause blisters.
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter runs before a race. Consider wearing appropriate running socks.
Traction feels insufficient on the track.
Ensure spikes are clean and properly installed. Check if the spike length is appropriate for the track conditions. Replace worn spikes.
Upper material appears dirty.
Wipe down the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse lightly with clean water and allow to air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are racing spikes and come with pre-inserted spikes. Ensure spikes are securely fastened before each use. For specific race events, check the regulations regarding spike length. Compatibility with track surfaces and cross-country courses is high; however, they are not designed for road running or general gym training.
Care:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Spike Maintenance: Regularly check that all spikes are tight. Replace worn or bent spikes as needed using a spike wrench. Store the shoes with spikes facing up or use a spike bag to protect the spike plate and prevent damage to other gear.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
