The adidas RUNFALCON 5 TR Running Shoes are crafted for active individuals seeking reliable performance and comfort across varied running environments. These shoes offer versatility for mixed-surface runs, combining durable traction with soft cushioning. While designed to excel on light trails and urban paths, runners focused exclusively on high-speed road performance might find them slightly more robust than a dedicated road-racing shoe.
Regular Fit with Lace Closure: Ensures a secure and adaptable fit for various foot shapes, keeping your foot stable during your run.
Water-Repellent Mesh Upper with Reflective Details: The mesh material repels light moisture, helping keep your feet drier on damp surfaces, while reflective elements enhance visibility in low-light conditions for added safety.
Textile Lining: Provides a soft, comfortable feel against the foot, reducing friction and enhancing overall comfort during longer runs.
Mudguard: A protective layer around the base of the shoe designed to shield against mud, dirt, and debris, maintaining cleaner footwear and protecting the upper.
Cloudfoam Midsole: Delivers plush, responsive cushioning that absorbs impact and provides exceptional comfort with every stride, from start to finish.
Weight: 260 g (size UK 5.5): A lightweight design that supports natural movement without feeling cumbersome, ideal for everyday training.
Midsole Drop: 9 mm (heel: 32 mm / forefoot: 23 mm): A standard drop that offers a balanced feel, suitable for a wide range of running styles and preferences.

The adidas RUNFALCON 5 TR Running Shoes are engineered to be your reliable partner for daily training, especially if your routes involve a mix of surfaces. The Cloudfoam midsole is a standout feature, providing a soft and forgiving ride that makes long runs more comfortable by absorbing impact effectively. This cushioning is particularly beneficial when transitioning from hard pavement to softer dirt paths.
The Adiwear outsole delivers exceptional durability and grip. On paved roads, it offers consistent traction, while on light trails, gravel paths, or urban park trails, its robust pattern helps maintain stability and prevents slips. The mudguard adds a practical layer of protection, keeping mud and small stones from penetrating the upper, which is a significant advantage when running on damp or unpaved surfaces.
With a water-repellent mesh upper, these shoes are suitable for runs in light rain or through dewy grass, helping to keep your feet drier without sacrificing breathability. The reflective details are a crucial safety feature for early morning or late evening runs, increasing your visibility to others. These shoes are ideal for runners who enjoy exploring different terrains without needing to switch footwear, providing a comfortable and stable experience across a variety of environments.
Getting started with your RUNFALCON 5 TR shoes is straightforward:
Lacing: Utilize the traditional lace closure to achieve a snug, comfortable fit. Experiment with different lacing techniques if you experience pressure points or heel slippage.
Break-In Period: While Cloudfoam is comfortable from the first wear, a short break-in period of a few short runs can help the shoes mold to your foot shape for optimal comfort and performance.
These shoes are highly compatible with:
Running Surfaces: Best suited for mixed terrains including asphalt, concrete, light gravel paths, dirt trails, and urban parks.
Running Styles: Ideal for daily training, moderate distances, and runners seeking a balance of cushioning and stability.
Weather Conditions: The water-repellent upper is suitable for dry to light damp conditions. Not recommended for heavy rain or deep puddles where full waterproofing would be necessary.
Proper care extends the life and performance of your shoes:
Cleaning: After runs, especially on muddy trails, gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap (like dish soap) mixed with water and a soft cloth or sponge to clean the mesh upper and outsole. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage materials. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing.
Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing can damage the shoe's structure, cushioning, and water-repellent properties. Hand cleaning is recommended.
