FAQs about Adidas shoes
How do Adidas shoes fit compared to other brands? Adidas shoes tend to fit similarly to other popular brands like Nike, New Balance and Hoka. However, there may be half-size variations, so it is recommended to measure your exact foot length before determining the correct size. For example, a US size 9 on Adidas is typically equivalent to a US size 9 on Nike, but small variations may occur depending on the model and category.
Do Adidas running shoes come in wide fits? Yes, Adidas running shoes come in a variety of fits, including narrow, regular and wide. However, it’s worth noting that not all models, like the popular Ultraboost series, come in wide or extra wide options. If wider options aren’t available, you can go up a half size or, if you’re a woman, try a men’s model by choosing a full US size smaller than your normal size.
How do Adidas Superstar shoes fit? Adidas Superstar shoes generally fit true to size. They are available in US whole and half sizes for adults and children. If you have wide feet or prefer a little more room, consider going up a half size. The leather uppers may feel tight at first, but will loosen up over time.
What is the best way to determine my Adidas shoe size? To determine your Adidas shoe size, measure your feet at the end of the day when they are at their largest. Use the Adidas size chart to match your foot length in inches or centimeters to the corresponding shoe size. If your measurements fall between sizes, choose the larger size for a more comfortable fit. It’s also helpful to consult specific model guides, as some models like the Ultraboost and Superstar have unique fit characteristics.
Can I expect Adidas basketball shoes to fit differently than running shoes? Adidas basketball shoes and running shoes generally follow the same sizing guidelines, but the fit may vary slightly due to the different materials and designs used in each category. Basketball shoes often have sturdier constructions and may feel tighter due to the extra support features. It’s advisable to try them on if possible or read specific fit reviews for the model you’re interested in.
