FAQs

What materials are the adidas Montreal trainers made of?

The upper is primarily black cow suede leather, with white leather detailing on the 3-Stripes and heel tab, and a luxe leather lining. The sole is a textured rubber unit.

Can I wear these shoes for sports or running?

No, the adidas Montreal is designed as a leisure shoe for casual wear. It is not built for high-performance sports, running, or strenuous physical activities.

How do I clean the suede on my adidas Montreal shoes?

Regularly brush with a suede brush. For spots, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning solution following product instructions. Avoid excessive water and allow to air dry naturally.

Are these shoes true to size?

Adidas sizing is generally consistent. We recommend ordering your usual adidas shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying both to determine the best fit for your comfort.

What is the significance of the 'Montreal' name?

The adidas Montreal was originally designed as a leisure shoe for German athletes competing at the 1976 Montreal Olympics, giving it a rich heritage.

Is the sole durable?

Yes, this iteration features a traditional textured rubber sole unit and a Gum 5 rubber outsole, which is designed for good grip and everyday durability on various surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or matted

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. Brush in one direction to lift fibers and bring back the original texture.

White 3-Stripes or heel tab look dirty

Gently wipe the leather components with a slightly damp cloth and a very mild soap solution. Follow up with a clean, dry cloth.

Shoes feel uncomfortable or too tight

Ensure you have the correct size. If new, wear them for short periods to break them in. The padded collar and suede upper should soften with use.

Shoes have an odor

Remove insoles if possible and allow shoes to air out. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use. Ensure socks are clean.

Care Instructions

Maintaining your suede adidas Montreal trainers requires specific attention to preserve their premium look:

  1. Initial Protection: Consider applying a quality suede and nubuck protector spray before the first wear to repel water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush away dirt and dust after each wear. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For minor spots, use a specialized suede eraser to gently rub the stain away. For tougher stains, a suede cleaning solution can be applied sparingly with a clean cloth, following product instructions.
  4. Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels or newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  5. Avoid Water: Suede is sensitive to water. Try to avoid wearing your Montreal trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, refer to the drying instructions.
  6. Sole Care: The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and grime.
