FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are designed as lifestyle trainers for casual, daily wear, not for high-impact athletic performance like running.
What is the best way to clean the leather?
Wipe with a damp cloth or a dedicated leather cleaner. Always let them air dry completely at room temperature.
Do they provide good arch support?
The EVA midsole provides decent, lightweight cushioning suitable for daily use, but they do not feature specialized medical-grade arch support.
Are these trainers true to size?
Yes, adidas Originals generally follow standard sizing; however, since these are leather, they may have a slight break-in period to match your foot shape.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these leather shoes as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and structure of the trainer.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the toe box area
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the leather structure and minimize deep creasing.
Soles losing traction
Clean the bottom of the rubber cupsole with water and a scrub brush to remove debris or grit trapped in the textured grip.
Difficulty maintaining leather shine
Apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent dryness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers feature a standard lace-up fastening system, allowing for a personalized fit. To maintain the integrity of the leather upper, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust regularly. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals. Ensure the shoes air-dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or lose its shape over time. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup within the lining.
