FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The RUNFALCON 5 TR is designed for light running and general training. For marathon distances, specialized long-distance running shoes with advanced cushioning and support would be more appropriate.
How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?
Measure the length of your foot from heel to toe. Compare this measurement to the adidas sizing chart available on their official website or retailer pages.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
The mesh upper has water-repellent properties, making them suitable for light rain or damp conditions. They are not waterproof and should not be submerged in water.
What is the difference between regular fit and other fits?
Regular fit refers to a standard shoe width and volume that accommodates most foot types comfortably.
How much does a pair of RUNFALCON 5 TR trainers weigh?
A pair weighs approximately 301 grams for a UK size 8.5, indicating they are lightweight.
What does 'midsole drop' mean?
Midsole drop refers to the height difference between the heel and the forefoot of the shoe. A 10 mm drop means the heel is 10 mm higher than the forefoot, influencing your stride.
Can these trainers be used for hiking?
The Adiwear outsole offers good traction for light trails, and the mudguard provides some protection. However, they are not designed for rugged hiking and may lack the ankle support and robust cushioning of dedicated hiking boots.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a more relaxed fit. If the issue persists, consider if the size is appropriate.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the Adiwear outsole offers good traction, extremely slick surfaces can be challenging. Use caution and ensure the outsole is free from debris.
Discomfort during long walks
Ensure laces are correctly adjusted for support. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter walks before attempting longer distances.
