FAQs
How do I clean the suede on my Grand Court shoes?
For light dirt, gently brush with a `suede brush`. For tougher stains, use a specialized `suede cleaner` and follow its instructions. Always allow to `air dry` away from direct heat.
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
No, the adidas Grand Court shoes are designed for `casual wear` and everyday comfort, not for high-performance sports, running, or intensive physical activities. They do not offer the specialized support, cushioning, or stability required for such activities.
Are the Grand Court shoes waterproof?
No, the `suede upper` is not naturally waterproof. We recommend avoiding wearing them in heavy rain or very wet conditions. You can apply a `suede protector spray` to add some water resistance.
What does 'contains at least 20% recycled content' mean?
This means that at least 20% of the materials used in making the shoes are `recycled`, contributing to adidas's efforts to reduce waste and lessen the environmental impact of product creation. This helps reduce reliance on virgin materials.
How do I know what size to order?
The shoes feature a `regular fit`. We recommend referring to the official adidas size guide for accurate measurements. If you are typically between sizes, consider trying your usual size first.
Can I put my Grand Court shoes in the washing machine?
No, `do NOT machine wash` these shoes. Machine washing can cause significant damage to the suede, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe, potentially shrinking or disfiguring them.
How long do these shoes typically last?
With proper `care and maintenance`, your Grand Court shoes can last for a considerable period, depending on frequency of wear and how well they are looked after. The `durable rubber cupsole` is built for longevity.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or has visible dirt/scuffs.
Use a specialized `suede brush` to gently remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, use a `suede cleaner` according to its instructions. Always brush in one direction to maintain the suede's nap.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is normal for new shoes. Wear them for short periods (1-2 hours) over several days to allow them to `break in` and conform to your foot shape. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.
Laces frequently come untied.
Try using a `double knot` for added security. Alternatively, consider replacing the laces with ones that have more friction, though this is less common with standard adidas laces.
Foot odor develops after prolonged wear.
Ensure you wear breathable socks. After use, allow the shoes to `air out` in a well-ventilated area. Shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe inserts can also help absorb moisture and neutralize odors.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.
The `rubber cupsole` provides good general traction, but no shoe is completely slip-proof, especially on very wet or oily surfaces. Exercise caution on such surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean of debris that might reduce grip.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your suede adidas Grand Court shoes:
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt, use a soft-bristled `suede brush` to gently brush off dried mud or dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- Deeper Cleaning: For stains, use a specialized `suede cleaner` or a mild soap solution with a clean cloth. Dab the stain gently, do not rub aggressively.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to `air dry` naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, as this can damage the suede.
- Protection: Consider applying a `suede protector spray` before first wear and periodically thereafter to help repel water and stains.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Water: Suede is not waterproof. Avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry.
- Do NOT Machine Wash: Machine washing can severely damage the suede and the shoe's structure.
