FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?
While excellent for daily training and treadmill use, they are optimized for moderate activity rather than extreme long-distance endurance racing.
Can I use these for lifting weights?
The Cloudfoam midsole is designed for cushioning; while stable, they may feel softer than dedicated flat-soled lifting shoes.
Do I need to break them in?
The materials are soft out of the box, but a few short walks are recommended to ensure the fit is perfect for your foot shape.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Always order one full size larger than your typical street shoe size for this specific model.
Are they water-resistant?
No, the mesh upper is designed for breathability and will allow water to pass through in wet conditions.
Is the sole non-marking?
Yes, the Adiwear outsole is designed to provide durability without leaving marks on indoor floor surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight despite ordering standard size
The Runfalcon 5 typically runs small; ensure you follow the recommendation to buy one size larger than your usual fit.
Midsole foam feels less responsive over time
Check the OrthoLite sockliner; if it has compressed, replacing the insert can often restore a fresh, cushioned feel.
Dirt buildup in mesh fabric
Use a dry soft-bristled brush to remove loose debris, followed by a damp cloth with mild detergent to spot-clean the mesh.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best out of your Runfalcon 5s, start by sizing up: if you usually wear an 8.5, consider purchasing a 9.5 for optimal toe clearance. Lace them snugly but avoid overtightening to maintain circulation. For care, avoid machine washing, which can degrade the cushioning integrity. Instead, gently scrub the mesh with a soft brush and mild soap, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the midsole material.
