Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Re-lace the shoes, starting from the bottom, adjusting the tension gradually. Consider wearing thinner running socks.
Slippage inside the shoe during runs.
Tighten the laces, particularly around the midfoot and ankle. Try different lacing techniques, such as a 'heel lock' lacing, to secure the foot better. Ensure your socks are not overly worn or slippery.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time.
Cushioning materials can compact with extensive use. While durable, all running shoes have a lifespan. Consider if it's time for a new pair if you've put many miles on them. (Info needed: [Recommended mileage for shoe replacement])
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.
Inspect the rubber outsole for excessive wear on the tread. Clean the sole to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be affecting grip. Ensure the running surface is suitable for these road shoes.
Unpleasant odor develops in shoes.
Regularly wash the shoes as per care instructions. Remove insoles after runs to air dry. Use anti-bacterial shoe sprays or cedar shoe trees to help absorb moisture and fight odor.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Upon first wear, untie the laces fully. Insert your foot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated at the back of the shoe. Systematically tighten the laces from the toe box towards the ankle, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. Double-knot for security if desired.
- Initial Break-in: While Adizero models are often comfortable from the start, a short walk or light jog can help the shoes adapt to your foot's unique shape before longer runs.
Compatibility
- Runner Profile: Designed for adult male runners prioritizing speed, responsiveness, and lightweight performance.
- Running Surfaces: Best suited for road, track, and paved surfaces. Not recommended for uneven, rocky, or muddy trails.
- Usage: Ideal for daily training, tempo runs, 5K/10K races, and general fitness activities where speed is a factor.
Care
- Machine Washable: These shoes are conveniently machine washable. For best results, wash at 40 degrees Celsius (warm water). Use a gentle cycle and a mild detergent. Place shoes in a mesh laundry bag to protect them and your washing machine.
- Drying: DO NOT tumble dry. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. You can stuff them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt or scuffs, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
