adidas Tobacco Sneaker - Brown - Leather - UK 10

The upper of these adidas Tobacco Trainers is crafted from durable leather, offering a classic look and long-lasting wear.

While the leather offers some natural resistance, these trainers are not fully waterproof. It's recommended to apply a water and stain protector for leather and avoid heavy rain or snow to preserve their condition.

These trainers are listed in UK adult foot sizes. It's generally best to try them on if possible or refer to adidas's official size guide for specific measurements. Leather can mold to your foot over time, but a comfortable fit from the start is ideal.

These adidas Tobacco Trainers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes, not for athletic activities like running or intense sports. Their construction prioritizes style and everyday comfort over performance features for active use.

A gum sole is a type of rubber sole known for its distinctive translucent brown color and excellent grip. It is often softer and more flexible than traditional black rubber soles, contributing to a vintage aesthetic and comfortable feel.

Regular cleaning (wiping down) after each wear is good practice. Conditioning the leather is recommended every 1-2 months, or more frequently if you notice the leather appearing dry or stiff, to keep it supple and prevent cracking.

Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations (1-2 hours) over several days to allow the leather to soften and mold to your feet. Wearing thicker socks can also help during this phase.

The leather needs conditioning. Clean the trainers thoroughly, then apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream. This will restore moisture, suppleness, and luster. For significant cracking, consult a shoe care professional.

For light scuffs, gently rub the area with a soft, damp cloth or a specialized leather eraser. For deeper scuffs, a matching leather polish or cream can help conceal the mark after cleaning and conditioning.

Do not dry with direct heat. Stuff the trainers with newspaper to absorb excess water and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry slowly at room temperature. Once dry, apply a leather conditioner to rehydrate the material.

Clean the gum sole with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a mild soap-and-water solution. For stubborn marks, a sneaker cleaner specifically designed for rubber soles can be effective. Avoid harsh chemicals.
