Product Information
Full details
The adidas VL Court Base Shoes are designed for adults seeking a versatile, classic sneaker that bridges the gap between casual comfort and timeless athletic style. These trainers feature a iconic T-toe construction and a durable synthetic leather upper, making them a perfect daily driver for errands or social outings. While the rubber cupsole offers excellent grip and longevity, the material is primarily lifestyle-oriented rather than performance-focused, meaning they are best suited for urban walking rather than high-intensity sports.

FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
While the synthetic leather upper offers some protection against light splashes, they are not waterproof and should not be submerged in water.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the adhesive and deform the shape of the shoe. Use hand cleaning methods only.
Are they suitable for running?
No, these are classified as lifestyle trainers. They lack the technical cushioning and support required for running.
How do I choose the right size?
The VL Court Base line generally fits true to size. Refer to the size guide to match your standard UK foot measurement.
Does the material stretch over time?
Synthetic leather does not stretch as much as natural leather, so it is important to choose a size that feels comfortable from the first wear.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box
Creasing is natural with wear. Use a shoe tree when not wearing them to help maintain the structure and minimize deep creases.
Squeaking sounds on indoor floors
This is often caused by dust accumulation on the rubber outsole. Wipe the outsoles with a damp cloth to restore grip and eliminate noise.
Difficulty keeping laces tied
Ensure the laces are threaded properly through the eyelets and use a double knot if the laces are made of a smooth synthetic material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your VL Court Base trainers remain in peak condition, follow these simple care instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt regularly using a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains on the synthetic upper, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, ensuring you do not soak the material.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Avoid placing them near radiators, heaters, or in direct sunlight, as this can warp the shape or cause the synthetic leather to crack.
- Fit: These shoes are true to size. Ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a snug fit without restricting circulation. If you use custom orthotic insoles, the standard textile liner can be removed in most cases to accommodate them.
