FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While based on early 2000s running designs, these are lifestyle trainers. They are meant for daily wear, not professional or long-distance running.
How do I find the right size?
These trainers follow standard adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your typical adidas sneaker size for the best fit.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, they are not designed with waterproof materials. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent material damage.
How can I keep the white finish clean?
Regularly wipe them down after use and use a protective sneaker spray to help repel dirt and stains.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if preferred.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the structure and minimize deep creases.
Scuffs on the white upper
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a small amount of non-bleach cleaning solution on a microfiber cloth to gently spot-clean.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Wipe the upper with a soft, damp cloth. For the rubber outsole, use a gentle brush with mild soap to remove debris.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material yellowing or adhesive breakdown.
- Lacing: Adjust the laces to a tension that provides support without cutting off circulation. Replace laces if they show signs of fraying.
- Compatibility: These trainers are standard adult sizing. Wear with mid-weight cotton socks for the best fit and moisture management.
