FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the adidas Originals Paris Low Shoes are designed for casual wear and lifestyle, not for athletic performance like running.

How do I clean mud off the suede?

Allow the mud to dry completely, then gently brush it off with a suede brush. For persistent stains, a suede eraser or professional cleaning is recommended.

What is the 'City Series'?

The 'City Series' is a collection of iconic adidas shoes launched in the 1970s, each named after a major European city, known for their distinctive designs and casual appeal.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in the rain as moisture can easily stain and damage the material. Using a suede protector spray can offer some water resistance, but they are not waterproof.

What material is the sole made of?

The sole is made of rubber, providing durability and traction.

How do the sizes run for this model?

Generally, adidas Originals shoes in this style run true to size. However, it's always recommended to check available sizing charts and consider your personal fit preference.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and restore texture. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be used carefully.

Scuff marks on suede

Try using a suede eraser. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe cleaner specializing in suede.

Shoes feel slightly tight

Suede can stretch slightly with wear. Wear them with medium-weight socks for a few hours at home to help them mold to your feet.

Color transfer from suede to socks

This can happen with new, dark suede. Ensure the shoe is dry and consider wearing darker socks initially. A suede protector spray can sometimes help seal the color.
