FAQs

How do I clean the suede upper?

Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For stains, try a suede eraser. Avoid washing with water; if necessary, use a slightly damp cloth and let air dry.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?

No, the adidas Originals Paris are designed for casual wear and lifestyle use. They do not provide the support or performance features required for sports.

What is the 'City Series'?

The 'City Series' is a collection of iconic adidas shoes launched in the 1970s, with each model named after a major European city. The Paris model is part of this celebrated series.

How do I protect the suede from weather?

Applying a quality suede protector spray before wear and reapplication every few months will help repel water and prevent stains. Allow the spray to dry completely.

What size should I order?

Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer, or consult your usual UK shoe size. This model is available in UK 11.5.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

While a protector spray offers some resistance, suede is not inherently waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain to prevent damage and staining.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser may be effective. Always allow shoes to air dry completely.

Water stains on suede

Allow the shoe to dry naturally. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. If marks persist, a specialized suede cleaner might be needed, following product instructions carefully.

Laces appear worn

Laces can be easily replaced with standard flat shoelaces of a similar length. Ensure they are tied securely.
