Running Shoes Frequently Asked Questions

Is it okay to walk in running shoes?

Walking in running shoes is absolutely fine, and you actually get all the benefits of advanced comfort and support with each step. adidas walking shoes are built using the same designs and materials as our running shoes, because every stride deserves the same high-performance feel, whether you are moving quickly or just taking it easy. You will notice the cushioning, stability and breathability that keep your feet happy, even on longer walks or busy days when you are on your feet a lot.

What is a stability running shoe? Do I need a stability running shoe?

A stability running shoe is one with specialized support to keep your foot in a neutral position if you overpronate with your natural gait. If your ankle and foot rolls inward, that means you overpronate. Stability running shoes are specifically designed for extra arch support and stability prevent your foot from turning too far inward. These shoes often have firmer midsoles or support features along the inside edge, which help guide your stride and reduce excess motion. This can be especially helpful if you notice your shoes wearing down unevenly or if you feel discomfort after longer runs. By keeping your foot aligned and reducing overpronation, stability shoes can help prevent injuries.

Should running shoes be heavy or light?

It depends on the type of running you're doing. Some runners prefer a bit more weight for extra support or durability, especially during longer or recovery runs. Lightweight shoes help your feet feel quick and agile, so you can pick up the pace without feeling slowed down by extra bulk. The lighter design might be good for when you are going after fast splits or working on explosive intervals.

What's the difference between running and training shoes?

Training shoes are built for a wide range of movement, especially side-to-side or lateral movement. If extreme cushioning and energy-return is what you’re looking for, adidas training shoes with Boost and Bounce midsoles have you covered.

How often should I replace my running shoes?

Generally, you should replace your running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, or roughly every four to six months if you average 20 miles per week.
