FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?
Yes, their lightweight and responsive design is well-suited for long-distance road running for those who prefer a faster, less bulky shoe.
How do I determine if these are the right size?
These trainers follow standard UK sizing. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during runs.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While excellent for running, they are primarily designed for forward motion and may lack the lateral stability required for heavy lifting or complex agility movements.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from an engineered mesh, which prioritizes breathability and lightweight performance.
Are these trainers water-resistant?
No, they are designed with a mesh upper for maximum ventilation, meaning they are not waterproof and will absorb water in heavy rain.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, performance trainers should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and the surfaces you frequent.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long runs
Ensure the shoes are laced correctly for a secure lockdown and check that you are using socks compatible with performance trainers to reduce friction.
Mesh upper accumulating debris
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently clean the pores of the mesh after running on dusty trails or paths.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Check the outsole for wear. While the traction is optimized for roads, all trainers lose grip as the tread wears down over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Adizero EVO SL trainers, follow these maintenance tips. Always loosen the laces fully before putting the shoes on or taking them off to prevent heel counter damage. If they get wet, stuff them with newspaper and allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area—never place them near a radiator or direct heat source, as this can warp the synthetic materials and the midsole foam. For cleaning, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and wipe the mesh with a damp cloth using mild soap if necessary; avoid submerging them in a washing machine.
