FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
These are ideal for light to moderate distances such as 5Ks or general daily runs. For ultra-marathon distances, you may prefer more specialized technical footwear.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to wash them in the machine, as this can damage the Cloudfoam cushioning and the textile structure. Spot cleaning is the best method.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they feature a standard fit that is designed to be consistent with most athletic footwear sizing.
Are these good for the gym?
They are great for treadmill work and cardio sessions, though they may lack the lateral stability required for heavy weightlifting or side-to-side agility drills.
How often should I replace them?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, or when you notice the cushioning no longer provides adequate rebound.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too snug after extended wear
Feet often swell during exercise. Try loosening the laces slightly to accommodate the natural expansion of your feet.
Dirt stuck in the outsole pattern
Use a toothpick or a stiff-bristled brush to dislodge debris from the grip pattern to maintain optimal traction.
Inner lining showing signs of wear
Ensure you are fully unlacing the shoes before taking them off to prevent heel friction against the inner lining.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your adidas Galaxy 8 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a snug but not restrictive feel. The standard fit should allow for natural toe splay.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the outsole. For the textile upper, gently wipe with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine, as this can damage the foam and adhesive.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as heat can warp the materials and degrade the cushioning.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup and odors.
