Product Information
Full details
The adidas Originals LA Trainer is designed for adults seeking a blend of retro '80s aesthetics and everyday comfort. Featuring a classic leather build and the iconic adjustable plug system in the midsole, these trainers are ideal for casual wear and lifestyle use. While they provide excellent style and nostalgic appeal, the flat sole design means they are best suited for walking rather than high-impact athletic training or long-distance running.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the LA Trainer generally fits true to size. If you prefer a looser fit or wear thick socks, you may consider a half-size up.
Can I remove the midsole plugs?
The plugs are an integral part of the LA Trainer's design and heritage aesthetic. It is recommended to leave them in place.
Are these suitable for running?
While they were originally designed as running shoes in the '80s, modern athletic technology has far surpassed them. They are best kept for lifestyle and casual use.
How do I keep the white leather clean?
Wipe them down regularly with a damp cloth after use to prevent dirt buildup and use a leather protector spray.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from durable, high-quality leather.
Are these shoes unisex?
These specific trainers are categorized for men, but the retro design is often styled as unisex.
Troubleshooting
Leather showing creases
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather; use a shoe tree when not in use to help retain shape.
Midsole plugs feel loose
The plugs are designed to be part of the aesthetic; if they move, simply press them firmly back into their designated slots.
White leather getting scuffed
Use a white leather polish or a touch-up pen specifically designed for trainers to buff out minor surface scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your LA Trainers maintain their look and longevity, follow these care guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear them for short durations indoors for the first few days to allow the leather and midsole to adapt to your stride.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush or a damp microfiber cloth to wipe down the leather upper. For tough stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner.
- Avoid Washing Machines: Never submerge the shoes or put them in the washing machine, as this can damage the leather and compromise the adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white leather from yellowing or drying out.
- Lacing: Adjust the lace tension regularly to accommodate foot swelling throughout the day for maximum comfort.
