FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK sizing for adidas Originals footwear.
Can I wash these in a machine?
No, machine washing can permanently damage the suede material and affect the structure of the shoes.
How do I protect the suede from rain?
Apply a high-quality suede-safe water repellent spray before wearing them in wet conditions.
Are these suitable for sports?

How do I clean the white sections?
Use a gentle suede eraser or a soft cloth slightly dampened with water, being careful not to soak the material.
Troubleshooting

Use a soft-bristled brush or specialized suede cleaning tool to gently lift the nap of the fabric.

Replace with standard athletic laces of the same length and width to maintain the original look.
Minor scuffs on the gum sole
Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soapy water to wipe the edges of the rubber outsole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are ready to wear out of the box with a standard lace-up closure that allows you to customize the tightness for your preferred fit. To ensure longevity, we recommend using a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust after each wear. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the material. For best results, use a water-repellent spray specifically designed for suede to add a protective layer against light moisture and environmental grime.
