FAQs
Are the adidas Rekord Trainers suitable for sports?
The Rekord Trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer comfort and traction for everyday activities, they are not intended for high-impact sports or rigorous athletic training due to their minimalist design and cushioning.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is primarily made of smooth leather, with suede overlays on areas like the toe and potentially the heel or eyestays.
How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
For suede, it is best to use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the texture. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water or liquid cleaners directly on the suede as it can alter its appearance and texture.
What is the purpose of the gum rubber sole?
The gum rubber sole provides durable traction and a classic, vintage aesthetic that complements the retro design of the Rekord trainers. It is designed for everyday grip on various surfaces.
How do I ensure the best fit for these trainers?
Refer to the adidas sizing guide for accurate measurements. These trainers have a classic fit, so consider trying them on or consulting reviews if you are between sizes or have specific fit needs. A snug fit is common initially due to the leather construction.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the leather and suede materials and ensure their longevity.
What is the difference between the Rekord and other adidas trainer models?
The Rekord trainers are characterized by their sleek, minimalist design inspired by classic adidas silhouettes, distinguishing them from more modern, performance-oriented or heavily branded trainers. They focus on heritage style and lightweight comfort.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable initially.
Leather and suede can require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Using thicker socks during break-in can also help stretch the material.
Suede areas appear matted or dirty.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be used carefully.
Leather upper shows scuffs or minor marks.
Use a leather cleaner or a conditioner specifically designed for smooth leather. Apply with a soft cloth and buff gently to restore the finish. Minor scuffs may often be buffed out.
Gum sole is dirty and losing its original color.
Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. For tougher grime, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a thorough wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Ensure the sole is completely dry before wearing.
