FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the VL Court Base is designed as a casual, everyday lifestyle trainer and does not provide the cushioning or stability required for running.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can compromise the structural integrity of the synthetic materials and the rubber sole adhesives.
What does the recycled content mean?
The upper contains at least 50% recycled materials as part of adidas' commitment to reducing plastic waste in their manufacturing process.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
Yes, they follow standard UK sizing conventions for a regular fit. If you are between sizes, consider your usual preference for athletic sneakers.
Are these made of leather?
This specific variant features a soft synthetic upper. Other models in the VL Court series may utilize different materials like leather.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feeling too tight across the midfoot
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a 'wide-foot' lacing style to relieve pressure points along the bridge of the foot.
Outsole collecting debris
Use a soft brush to dislodge small stones or dirt trapped in the tread patterns of the rubber cupsole to maintain optimal grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your VL Court Base trainers maintain their appearance and structure, keep the following tips in mind:
Setup: Ensure you select your standard UK size, as the shoes feature a consistent regular fit. If you plan on using custom orthotic insoles, you may need to remove the stock liner first to ensure adequate volume inside the shoe.
Care: Clean the synthetic upper by wiping it down with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the adhesives in the cupsole. Air dry the shoes away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading or cracking.
