FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The Galaxy 8 is designed for breathability, not water resistance. They will absorb water if running in heavy rain.
Can I use these for marathon training?
While they are suitable for building endurance and 5K training, marathon distances usually require shoes with more advanced energy return features.
Are they true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing conventions for men's running footwear.
Can I remove the insoles to use custom orthotics?
Yes, the factory insoles are removable, allowing space for most aftermarket orthotic inserts.
How often should I replace them?
It is recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points on the top of the foot
Try adjusting your lacing technique, such as using a window-lacing method to relieve pressure on the bridge of the foot.
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Utilize the 'runner's loop' or heel lock lacing technique to secure the heel against the back of the shoe.
Midsole feeling less responsive
This is a sign of foam fatigue. Check if you have exceeded the typical 300-500 mile lifespan for running shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your adidas Galaxy 8 trainers, proper care is essential.
Setup & Fit: Ensure you are wearing your preferred running socks during initial sizing. The shoe should feel snug around the midfoot with adequate space (roughly a thumb's width) in the toe box to accommodate foot swelling during exercise.
Maintenance:
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for localized stains; avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can break down the adhesives and cushioning foam.
- Drying: Air dry only in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can warp the materials.
- Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating between two pairs to allow the foam to decompress fully between sessions.
