Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear these trainers in wet conditions, as the silk upper can be easily damaged by water.

Troubleshooting
Silk material creasing easily
Minimize bending of the foot when walking. Store with shoe trees to maintain shape. Avoid excessive wear in activities that cause deep creases.
Gold accents losing shine
Gently wipe with a dry microfiber cloth. Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, or cleaning agents that can tarnish metal finishes.
Sizing feels off
Consult the adidas sizing chart. Consider the sock type you typically wear. If between sizes, many prefer to size up slightly for comfort.
Lace tassel becoming detached
Handle the lace tassel with care. If detached, it can be reattached by carefully threading it back through the lace holes.
