FAQs

What material are these trainers made of?

The exterior is crafted from high-quality leather.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic sports?

While durable, these are designed primarily as lifestyle trainers for casual, everyday use.

How do I choose the right size?

These follow standard UK sizing for adults; if you are between sizes, it is recommended to try them on or measure your foot according to standard adidas size charts.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather and the structure of the shoe. Stick to hand cleaning with a damp cloth.

Is the sole non-marking?

The sole is designed for standard urban use, but exercise caution on delicate indoor surfaces if the soles are heavily soiled.

What is the primary colour of this model?

This model features a distinct grey colourway.

Troubleshooting

Leather surface appearing dry

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to restore suppleness.

Creasing at the toe box

This is normal for premium leather; use a shoe tree when not wearing to minimize deep set lines.

Dirt stuck in the sole pattern

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris from the grooves of the outsole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers last, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Initial Protection: Apply a leather-appropriate water and stain repellent before first use.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe down the leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth after wear to remove surface dust.
  3. Deep Cleaning: For stubborn marks, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for lifestyle trainers; avoid harsh chemicals.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading.
  5. Fit: These trainers are sized for standard adult feet; ensure you check your UK size against the specific model (e.g., UK 6) for the best comfort.
