FAQs
Are the LA Trainer XLG trainers waterproof?
No, they are made of natural materials like suede and leather, which are not waterproof. We recommend applying a protective spray if you plan to wear them in wet conditions.
Can I use these for running?
These are designed as lifestyle trainers for daily wear. While they provide good support for walking, they do not feature the technical performance specs required for long-distance running.
How do I determine my size?
The LA Trainer XLG follows standard adidas sizing. We recommend choosing your usual athletic shoe size.
Are the insoles removable?
Most models feature a removable insole, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
What is the primary difference between the standard LA Trainer and the XLG version?
The XLG version features a thicker, chunkier midsole and modern proportions compared to the original, slimmer silhouette of the classic LA Trainer.
Troubleshooting
Material looks dusty or dull
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt from the suede nap.
Creasing in the leather toe box
This is normal for leather footwear; using a shoe tree when not in use helps maintain shape.
Laces coming undone
Ensure a double knot is used, or replace with slightly textured athletic laces for better friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers maintain their look and feel, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the premium materials to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning Suede: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt. Avoid soaking suede in water, as this can damage the texture.
- Leather Care: Wipe leather sections with a soft, damp cloth and apply a leather conditioner periodically to prevent cracking.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and material stiffening.
- Compatibility: These trainers feature a neutral black and grey colorway, making them highly compatible with denim, chinos, and athletic joggers.
