FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the Ultraboost 20 is known for its cushioning and energy return, making it a solid choice for marathon distances. However, individual comfort and fit are paramount, so testing them over longer runs is recommended.
How do I clean the white Primeknit upper without damaging it?
Use a soft brush or cloth with cool water and a mild detergent. Gently scrub the stained areas and rinse with clean water. Always air dry.
What is the difference between Ultraboost 20 and previous models?
The Ultraboost 20 features a specifically engineered Primeknit upper with tailored fiber placement for improved support and a more precise fit compared to earlier versions. It also refined the Boost cushioning and outsole design.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
The Continental rubber outsole provides good grip in wet conditions. However, the Primeknit upper is breathable and not fully waterproof, so feet may get wet in heavy rain.
What is the intended use for the Ultraboost 20?
These trainers are versatile, designed for running (from short jogs to marathons), gym workouts, and everyday casual wear, offering a balance of performance and comfort.
How durable is the Continental rubber outsole?
The Continental rubber is known for its high durability, offering excellent traction and wear resistance, comparable to high-performance tire rubber.
What does 'Consortium Triple White collection' mean?
The Consortium line often represents premium or special edition releases. 'Triple White' typically refers to a colorway where most components of the shoe are white, though this specific model has a black outsole.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. The Primeknit material will stretch slightly with wear. If still too tight, consider if the size is correct or if a different model with a wider fit might be more suitable.
Dirt on the white upper
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, a specialized shoe cleaner for knit materials may be used following product instructions.
Reduced grip on the outsole
Check the outsole for embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the outsole with water and a brush. If the tread is significantly worn down, replacement may be necessary.
Discomfort in the heel
Ensure the heel collar is properly aligned and laces are tied to provide adequate lockdown without being too tight. Break-in period may be required for the heel cushioning to fully adapt.

Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the Primeknit upper, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cool water to gently clean away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down the Boost midsole and Continental rubber outsole with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly stiffer brush can be used carefully.
