FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for actual skateboarding?
The adidas Bravada 2.0 Platform Trainers feature a skate-inspired design and a vulcanised outsole common in skate shoes for good grip and board feel. They are suitable for casual wear and light recreational use, but they are not designed for high-performance or professional skateboarding.
How do I determine the correct size?
Generally, adidas sizes are consistent. We recommend consulting the official adidas size chart for foot measurements to ensure the best fit. If you're between sizes, consider your usual preference for fit in similar shoe styles.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
These trainers are not waterproof. While they can handle light splashes, prolonged exposure to rain or very wet conditions is not recommended, as it can saturate the materials and affect their longevity. They are best suited for dry weather.
What is an OrthoLite sockliner?
An OrthoLite sockliner is an open-cell foam insole that provides long-lasting cushioning, breathability, and moisture management. It helps keep your feet comfortable and fresh throughout the day.
What kind of outfits pair well with these white trainers?
The versatile white color and low-cut silhouette make them easy to pair with most casual outfits. They look great with jeans, shorts, casual trousers, and even informal skirts or dresses, making them a staple for everyday street style.
How do I keep the vulcanised outsole clean?
For the outsole, use a stiff brush (like an old toothbrush) and a small amount of mild soap and water to scrub away dirt and grime. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and air dry.
Troubleshooting
My white trainers get dirty very quickly.
White shoes naturally show dirt more. Establish a routine of wiping them down with a damp cloth after each wear. For deeper cleans, use a mild soap and soft brush as outlined in the care section.
The shoes feel a bit stiff initially.
Like many new shoes, the Bravada 2.0 Platform Trainers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the materials to soften and conform to your feet.
I experience some discomfort after very long periods of wear.
While equipped with an OrthoLite sockliner for comfort, individual foot needs vary. If discomfort persists, consider adding an aftermarket insole designed for arch support or additional cushioning.
The grip seems less effective on certain wet surfaces.
The vulcanised outsole offers good general grip, but no shoe is completely slip-proof, especially on very smooth or oily wet surfaces. Always exercise caution when walking on wet or uneven terrain.

Care and Maintenance
To ensure your white adidas Bravada 2.0 Platform Trainers remain in great condition and look their best, follow these care instructions:
- Regular Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, wipe the shoes with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks on the white upper or sole, use a soft brush or old toothbrush with a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap) and water. Gently scrub the affected areas.
- Spot Treatment: For stubborn stains, use a dedicated shoe cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water. Apply, let sit for a few minutes, then gently scrub and wipe clean.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or using heat sources (like radiators or hairdryers) as this can damage the materials.
- Lace Care: Remove laces for separate washing if they become very dirty. They can often be hand-washed with mild soap.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and material degradation. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or machine dry your trainers, as this can damage the structure and materials.
