FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Galaxy 8 is designed for everyday wear and light exercise. While suitable for short, light runs, they are not intended for professional marathon or long-distance competitive racing.

How do I determine the correct size?

These trainers follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to measure your feet in the evening when they are at their largest to ensure a proper fit.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and materials. We recommend manual cleaning with a damp cloth.

Are these shoes breathable?

Yes, the materials selected for the upper are designed to allow for airflow, keeping your feet comfortable throughout the day.

Do these trainers provide arch support?

The Galaxy 8 features a neutral design that provides standard support suitable for most foot types during casual activity.

Can I replace the insoles?

The insoles are generally removable, allowing you to swap them with custom orthotics if preferred.

Troubleshooting

Foot feels too tight or restricted

Loosen the lacing system completely, then re-tie starting from the bottom eyelets to ensure even tension across the instep.

Visible dirt or stains on the fabric

Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt, then dab gently with a mixture of water and gentle detergent; air dry in a shaded area.

Slippage during movement

Ensure the heel is fully seated in the back of the shoe and use the top 'runner's loop' lacing technique to increase ankle stability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your adidas Galaxy 8 trainers, it is recommended to keep them dry and avoid submerging them in water. If they become dusty or muddy, gently wipe the exterior with a damp, soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can degrade the structural integrity and bonding agents of the sole. When storing, keep them in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading. If the laces become worn, they can be easily replaced with standard athletic laces to maintain a secure fit.
