FAQs
Are these sneakers true to size?
Generally, adidas Tobacco sneakers are considered to be true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up.
Can I wear these sneakers in the rain?
While the leather offers some natural water resistance, these sneakers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended, as it can damage the leather. Applying a water-resistant spray can offer additional protection.
What's the best way to clean the brown leather?
For general cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth and mild leather cleaner. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use specialized leather care products. Always follow the product instructions and avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
Are these suitable for running or sports activities?
No, the adidas Tobacco Sneaker is a lifestyle shoe. Its flat midsole and design are not intended for running, athletic training, or sports that require specialized support and cushioning.
How do I prevent the leather from creasing?
Creasing is a natural part of leather wear. To minimize it, avoid overly tight lacing, use shoe trees when storing, and keep the leather conditioned to maintain its suppleness. Regular wear will naturally create some creases.
What is the outsole made of?
The outsole is made from durable gum rubber, providing excellent grip and contributing to the sneaker's authentic retro aesthetic.
Where is the Trefoil logo located?
The iconic adidas Trefoil logo is prominently featured on the tongue of the sneaker, and sometimes subtly on the heel tab.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or dry
Clean the leather with a mild cleaner, then apply a good quality leather conditioner. This will rehydrate the material and restore its natural luster.
Scuffs or minor scratches on the leather
For light scuffs, try gently rubbing with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For deeper scratches, a leather conditioner or a dab of matching leather cream/polish can help to camouflage them. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Sneakers have an unpleasant odor
Remove insoles if possible and air them out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and let it sit overnight, then vacuum or shake out. Consider using cedar shoe trees or sneaker deodorizers.
Gum rubber outsole looks dirty or has lost grip
Clean the outsole with a stiff brush and warm soapy water to remove dirt and debris. A magic eraser can also be effective for stubborn marks on the rubber.
Sneakers feel stiff or uncomfortable
Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to mold to your foot. Thicker socks can also help during this phase.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Upon receiving your adidas Tobacco Sneakers, simply unbox them and lace them up to your desired comfort level. There's no complex setup required. The leather may feel stiff initially, but it will soften and conform to your foot with a few wears.
Compatibility
These brown leather Tobacco sneakers are incredibly versatile and pair well with a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire:
- Outfits: Combine them with denim (light or dark wash), chinos, corduroys, or even tailored trousers for a smart-casual look. They also work well with shorts for a relaxed summer vibe.
- Occasions: Ideal for daily wear, weekend activities, casual office environments, and social gatherings.
Care Instructions for Leather
Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your leather adidas Tobacco Sneakers:
- Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently brush off any loose dirt or dust with a soft brush or dry cloth.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild leather cleaner. Wipe gently and then dry immediately with a clean, soft cloth.
- Deep Cleaning (Occasionally): For more thorough cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive materials, or excessive water.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few months (or as needed) to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This also helps restore its natural sheen.
- Water and Stain Protection: Apply a leather protector spray before the first wear and reapply periodically, especially if you plan to wear them in wet conditions. This helps repel water and prevent stains.
- Drying: If your sneakers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight), which can dry out and crack the leather.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture when not in use.
