Troubleshooting

Sizing feels slightly off

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Refer to the adidas sizing chart if unsure. Allow a short break-in period as the materials adjust to your foot.

Scuff marks on leather 3-Stripes

Gently wipe the scuff marks with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner suitable for the material, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Dirt on textile upper

Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the affected area. Avoid excessive scrubbing which could damage the fabric.

Gum sole looks dirty

Wipe the gum sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a clean damp cloth rinse. Ensure the sole is dry before wearing.
