At first glance, choosing a pair of adidas men's running shoes seems straightforward. Yet many men buy shoes that feel less comfortable after a few weeks, get too warm or don’t offer enough grip. When shopping online, it’s especially important to look beyond colour, discounts and general claims such as “comfortable”.
Not every pair of adidas men's trainers is suitable for running. Retro-style models such as the Run 70s 2.0 are mainly designed for everyday wear. They may be comfortable for walking around town, but they don’t automatically have the same construction as men's running shoes designed to withstand repeated impact.
So check the midsole, the type of outsole and the intended use in the product description.
More cushioning doesn’t automatically mean a better fit. A shoe may feel soft but still be too loose around the heel or not have enough room in the forefoot. Always check the fit, lacing system and foot length the shoe is available for.
Adidas uses EU sizes such as 40 2/3, 41 1/3 and 44 2/3. These half sizes aren’t interchangeable with standard whole sizes. Measure both feet, preferably at the end of the day, and compare your measurements with the information on the product page. Also check whether the centimetre measurement refers to foot length or the shoe’s internal length.
For recreational running and everyday training, cushioned running shoes are often a sensible choice. Check the material and construction of the midsole:
These names refer to product technologies described in the manufacturer or seller information. They don’t guarantee a particular running experience. Fit, running style and surface all remain important.
A mesh upper can let air circulate, making it a good option if you’re looking for breathable running shoes. The Supernova Stride 2, Supernova Ease, Ultrarun 5 and Runfalcon 5 are listed as having a textile or mesh construction. These models are worth comparing if ventilation matters to you.
An entirely breathable upper isn’t necessarily ideal in wet or cold weather. For conditions in the UK, it may also be worth checking how easy the material is to clean. The product information for the models mentioned generally recommends cleaning with a damp cloth and air-drying. Machine washing is not recommended.
Check whether the sole is designed for tarmac, everyday wear or a range of surfaces. The Runfalcon 5 is described in the product information as suitable for road running and short distances of 0 to 10 kilometres. According to the listed specifications, the Supernova Stride 2 and Ultrarun 5 have an Adiwear rubber outsole. These are product details you can check, but they don’t guarantee the same level of grip on every surface.

We’ve put together a full, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and comply with current European safety regulations.
Getting the right size can prevent a lot of frustration. Try on running shoes with the socks you wear when you run. There should be room around your toes, while your heel shouldn’t lift when you walk. If you’re unsure, compare your foot length in centimetres with the size chart for the specific model.
Lifespan depends on how often you run, your body weight, the surface, storage and care. There’s no set number of kilometres that applies to everyone. Replace your shoes if the outsole shows visible uneven wear, the upper becomes damaged or the cushioning starts to feel noticeably less comfortable.
It depends on the model. According to the product description, the Run 70s 2.0 is mainly designed for everyday wear. Running shoes with a stated training purpose, mesh upper and specific midsole are generally easier to compare for running.
There’s no universal lifespan. Check the outsole for wear regularly and look out for changes in comfort and fit. Frequent use on tarmac can cause different wear from alternating between different, quieter paths.
The Runfalcon 5 is described in the product information as suitable for road running and short distances of 0 to 10 kilometres. The Supernova Ease is described as suitable for short to medium distances. Always check the size, fit and latest product details before ordering.
