The adidas Solarglide 5 is built to support your running journey, whether you're logging daily miles or pushing for a new personal record. The BOOST midsole is central to its performance, offering a soft yet highly responsive feel that absorbs impact and returns energy, making longer runs feel less taxing. This technology works in tandem with the adidas LEP 2.0, which acts as a stiffening element in the sole, guiding your foot through a more efficient toe-off and adding a propulsive feel to your stride.
For example, during a 10k training run, you'll experience consistent cushioning and a feeling of forward momentum. The Continental™ rubber sole provides crucial grip, ensuring stability on wet or dry pavement, giving you confidence through turns and varied terrain. The knit upper adapts to your foot, reducing irritation and providing a secure lockdown without feeling restrictive. This combination makes the Solarglide 5 suitable for a wide range of running activities, from tempo runs to long-distance training.
These running shoes require no complex setup; simply lace them up and go. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and performance (e.g., for UK size 4, verify against your foot measurements). The Solarglide 5 is compatible with various running surfaces, particularly roads and tracks, and is designed for adults.
Care Instructions:
Cleaning: For general cleaning, gently wipe the knit upper and BOOST midsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that could damage the material.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not put them in a dryer or expose them to direct heat, as this can degrade the materials.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to maintain their integrity.
Sustainability Note: Given the high-performance yarn containing recycled materials, mindful cleaning helps preserve the integrity and lifespan of these sustainable components.
