FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
They are ideal for light jogging and everyday fitness but may not offer the technical support needed for competitive long-distance running.
What does Cloudfoam technology do?
Cloudfoam is a proprietary adidas cushioning material that provides a soft, step-in feel and absorbs impact.
Are the insoles removable?
The insoles are generally designed to be standard; however, if you use custom orthotics, they can usually be placed inside after removing the factory sockliner.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can weaken the materials and adhesives; hand cleaning is the best way to extend the life of your trainers.
Is the Galaxy 8 true to size?
Yes, the Galaxy 8 series generally fits true to standard UK sizing for adult males.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The standard fit is accommodating, but the lace-up closure allows for some adjustment if you require extra width across the midfoot.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during activity
Try a double-knot or ensure the laces are threaded through the top eyelet to secure the heel lock.
Outsole loses grip
Clean the bottom of the soles with a damp cloth to remove compacted dust or debris that reduces traction.
Minor foot discomfort after long use
Ensure the lace tension is distributed evenly; occasionally re-tie the shoes halfway through the day to adjust for natural foot swelling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Galaxy 8 trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple guidelines:
- Sizing: Ensure you select your standard UK size, as the Galaxy 8 is built to fit true-to-size.
- Break-in: While comfortable out of the box, wearing them for shorter periods during the first two days will allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft-bristled brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers naturally. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as high heat can damage the foam and adhesives.
