FAQs
What type of runner is this shoe best for?
These shoes are best suited for neutral runners or those with mild overpronation who engage in regular, moderate-paced running. They are ideal for daily training and recreational running.
How do I know if I have the right size?
There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and there should be no pinching or excessive pressure points.
Can these shoes be used for other sports?
While they offer good general support, they are specifically designed for running. For other sports like court games or intense gym training, specialized footwear is recommended to ensure proper support and prevent injury.
How long do these running shoes typically last?
The lifespan of running shoes varies based on mileage, running surface, and individual gait. For these trainers, expect to get around 300-500 miles of running before the cushioning and support significantly degrade.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the adidas Galaxy 8 running shoes are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable materials for ventilation, which means they are not intended to keep feet dry in wet conditions.
What is the difference between Galaxy 7 and Galaxy 8 models?
The Galaxy 8 typically features updated cushioning technology and potentially a refined upper design for improved comfort and performance compared to the Galaxy 7 model.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. If the issue persists, consider if the size is correct or if thicker socks are being used.
Slight discomfort on longer runs
Ensure the shoes are fully broken in. If discomfort continues, consider adding an insole for extra cushioning or consult a running specialist to check your gait.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for general traction. For significantly wet or slippery conditions, exercise caution or consider shoes with specialized wet-grip outsoles.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After runs, gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
