The adidas RUNFALCON 5 TR Running Shoes are designed for adventurous runners who frequently venture off paved tracks onto park trails and uneven terrain. Their key benefit lies in combining rugged durability and reliable grip with plush comfort, making them ideal for varied landscapes. While optimized for off-road conditions, users should note that their water-repellent design handles splashes but isn't fully waterproof for deep immersion.

The adidas RUNFALCON 5 TR Running Shoes are built for performance on varied, non-paved terrain. The Cloudfoam midsole is the heart of its comfort, providing a soft, forgiving ride that absorbs impact efficiently, making longer runs on hard-packed trails more enjoyable. You'll notice the plush feel from the moment you lace them up.
When your run takes you "off the track," the lugged Adiwear outsole truly shines. Its multi-directional lugs dig into loose earth, gravel, and uneven surfaces, providing reliable traction and preventing slips. This means you can confidently tackle park trails, muddy paths, and light technical terrain.
The water-repellent mesh upper is a practical feature, effectively shedding light splashes and dew, which is particularly useful for morning runs or unexpected damp patches on the trail. Paired with reflective details, these shoes also enhance your visibility to others in low-light conditions, adding a layer of safety.
Examples of use include: scenic park runs with mixed grass and gravel paths, light hiking on well-maintained trails, or regular training runs where you encounter a variety of surfaces. They are not intended for extreme mountain running or deep water crossings but excel in providing comfort and grip on moderately challenging terrain.
Lacing: Loosen the laces, slide your foot into the shoe, and then tighten the laces progressively from the toe upwards, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit. Use the regular lace closure to achieve the desired security for your foot.
Fit: Ensure your heel feels secure and your toes have enough room to wiggle without touching the front of the shoe.
These shoes are primarily designed for park trails and uneven terrain. They are compatible with:
Gravel paths
Dirt trails
Grass and mixed surfaces
Lightly muddy conditions (due to mudguard and water-repellent upper)
They can be used on roads for short transitions but are optimized for off-track conditions.
To ensure the longevity and performance of your RUNFALCON 5 TR shoes:
Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush after each run. For general cleaning, wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause materials to shrink or crack.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Water Repellency: While water-repellent, these shoes are not designed to be submerged. For optimal performance of the water-repellent coating, it's recommended to clean them regularly and avoid abrasive cleaning methods.
