FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathons?

The Runfalcon 6 is ideal for daily training and shorter distances; for professional marathon racing, you may prefer a more specialized, ultra-lightweight performance shoe.

Can I use these for trail running?

These are optimized for road running. While the sole provides good traction, they lack the rock plates and aggressive lug patterns found in dedicated trail running shoes.

How do I determine my size?

The Runfalcon 6 follows standard adidas sizing. It is recommended to choose your typical athletic shoe size.

Is the leather upper waterproof?

The leather is water-resistant to a degree, but it is not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain to protect the longevity of the material.

How often should I replace these trainers?

Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles, depending on your running frequency and surface impact.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash leather trainers, as the heat and agitation can damage the leather and the adhesive bonding the sole.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight after long periods of wear

Feet often swell during exercise; try loosening the laces slightly to accommodate natural foot expansion.

Squeaking sound while walking

This is often caused by moisture trapped under the insole; remove the insole, let it air dry completely, and ensure the interior is clean of debris.

Difficulty cleaning dirt from the outsole pattern

Use a soft-bristled brush, such as an old toothbrush, to gently scrub debris from the tread pattern after it has dried.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior impact protection via Cloudfoam technology
  • Secure and comfortable fit with padded interior
  • Durable leather construction for longevity
  • Versatile design suitable for running and casual use
  • Reliable traction on diverse road surfaces

Cons

  • Leather material may feel stiffer initially than synthetic mesh
  • Less breathability compared to lightweight summer-specific trainers
  • Limited to road running rather than technical trail terrain

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Runfalcon 6 trainers maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fitting: Ensure the lace-up closure is adjusted to your comfort level; do not overtighten, as this may restrict circulation.
  2. Break-in: As these feature leather components, wear them for shorter sessions initially to allow the material to mold to your foot shape.
  3. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the leather and cushioning materials.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack or the foam to lose its structural integrity.
  5. Replacement: Monitor the outsole pattern for signs of wear; once the tread is smoothed down, traction will decrease, signaling time for a replacement.
