FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for a marathon?

Yes, the Adizero Evo SL is designed for performance and can handle long distances, though personal preference for cushioning level should be considered.

Are these made from sustainable materials?

Yes, these trainers are constructed with at least 20% recycled content.

Can I use these for gym workouts?

They are primarily designed for running, but their stability makes them suitable for general gym activities and light weightlifting.

How should I clean the white sections of the shoe?

Use a soft brush and a gentle sneaker cleaner to spot-treat the white upper, avoiding abrasive chemicals that might discolor the fabric.

Do these trainers run true to size?

The Adizero series typically follows standard sizing, but because they are designed for performance, some users prefer a half-size up for extra room during long runs.

Troubleshooting

Feeling discomfort in the arch or midfoot

Adjust your lacing pattern to provide more room for your foot to expand, or use a thinner sock to improve the internal fit.

Sole traction feels slippery on wet surfaces

Ensure the outsoles are clean of debris or mud; however, note that these trainers are optimized for road performance and may perform less efficiently on slick, non-porous surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Adizero Evo SL trainers, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fit: Ensure you have a thumb-width of space between your toes and the end of the shoe to prevent discomfort during swelling on long runs.
  2. Break-in: If you are new to the Adizero series, wear them for shorter, moderate-intensity walks or jogs for the first few sessions to allow the foam and upper to adapt to your foot.
  3. Cleaning: Hand wash only with mild soap and a soft brush. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the integrity of the foam midsole.
  4. Air Drying: Always air dry at room temperature away from direct sunlight or heaters, which can cause the materials to warp or crack.
