FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The adidas Ghost Sprint W trainers are designed for light workouts and everyday comfort. For marathon running, a shoe with more advanced cushioning and support features would be recommended.

Refer to the sizing chart provided by adidas. These trainers are listed in UK sizes. It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it to the chart. They are designed for a standard women's fit.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede, synthetic materials, and the overall structure of the shoe. Hand-cleaning as per the care instructions is the best method.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is a combination of suede and durable synthetic materials, offering a blend of aesthetic appeal and longevity.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are not designed to be waterproof. The suede material, in particular, can be susceptible to water damage. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.
What does the 'W' in Ghost Sprint W stand for?
The 'W' typically denotes that the shoe is designed specifically for women.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape. Keeping them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag is also recommended.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or tight fit
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the shoes feel slightly tight initially, wear them for short periods to allow them to break in. They are designed to mold to your foot over time.
Suede material looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, consult specific suede cleaning products and follow instructions carefully. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Soles feel slippery
New soles can sometimes have a protective coating that makes them slippery. Lightly scuffing the soles on a rough surface can help improve traction. Ensure the soles are clean and free from mud or debris.
