FAQs

Are the Adidas Paris "Clay" trainers suitable for sports?

These trainers are designed for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer comfort for walking, they are not intended for high-impact sports due to their retro, low-profile construction.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the UK sizing chart provided. These are unisex trainers, so consider that men's and women's sizing can differ. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consult sizing guides carefully.

Can I wash the Adidas Paris "Clay" trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended for leather and suede trainers. This can damage the materials and affect the shoe's structure and appearance. Hand cleaning as per the care instructions is advised.

What is the material of the sole?

The sole is made of a textured rubber, designed to provide grip and a close feel to the ground.

How does the 'Clay' color look in person?

The 'Clay' color is an elegant, natural brown. It offers a refined yet sporty character, blending well with various natural tones and complementing the retro aesthetic.

What does the 'City Series' refer to?

The 'City Series' is a collection of iconic Adidas trainers launched in the 1970s and '80s, each named after major European cities and featuring distinctive designs. The Paris model is part of this celebrated line.

Is the upper fully leather?

The upper primarily features natural leather with accents of 'Clay' suede, including a slim suede T-toe.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather upper

Natural leather will crease with wear. This is normal and adds character. To minimize severe creasing, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees for storage.

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher marks, a specialized suede eraser or cleaner may be necessary. Always brush in one direction after cleaning.

Laces becoming worn or dirty

Replace laces with standard trainer laces of a similar length. Clean existing laces by hand washing with mild soap and water.

Discomfort during initial wear

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Ensure correct lacing for optimal support. If discomfort persists, check the fit.

Care Instructions:

  • Leather: Clean the natural leather areas with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water. Use a dedicated leather conditioner periodically to maintain suppleness.
  • Suede: For suede sections, use a suede brush to remove dirt and maintain texture. For stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Sole: Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth. Ensure no debris is lodged in the tread.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally in a shoe bag or original box to maintain shape and protect materials.
