FAQs
How do I clean the suede on my Adidas Montreal sneakers?
For basic cleaning, use a dry suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner or eraser, following the product instructions carefully. Avoid using water directly on the suede.
Are these sneakers suitable for running or sports?
No, the Adidas Montreal is designed as a leisure and casual shoe. While it has a sporty heritage, it is not built for the demands of running or high-intensity sports. It's best suited for everyday wear and light activities.
What does 'gum sole' mean?
A 'gum sole' refers to an outsole made from natural rubber, often identifiable by its brownish-yellow, translucent appearance. It's known for its excellent grip and classic aesthetic, commonly found on vintage-inspired sneakers.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear these sneakers in the rain due to their suede upper. Suede can be easily damaged and stained by water. If they do get wet, dry them slowly away from direct heat.
Is the sizing standard for Adidas Montreal?
Adidas sizing is generally consistent. It is recommended to choose your usual UK shoe size for the Montreal model. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up for comfort, especially with suede which may not stretch significantly.
What is the Trefoil logo?
The Trefoil logo is the original Adidas logo, first introduced in 1972. It represents the brand's diversity, with each of the three leaves symbolizing a continent where Adidas products are sold. It's commonly found on Adidas Originals lifestyle products, like the Montreal.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a suede brush with short, firm strokes to lift the nap and restore its texture. For stubborn areas, a suede eraser can help remove minor scuffs and marks.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable initially
The suede upper may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house to allow the material to conform to your foot shape. Ensure laces are not overly tight.
Scuff marks on the gum sole
Clean the gum sole with a mild soap and water solution using a soft brush or cloth. For deeper scuffs, a magic eraser can often be effective. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber.

Care
Caring for your Adidas Montreal sneakers, especially their *suede upper*, is crucial for longevity:
- Suede Cleaning: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Water Protection: Suede is not water-resistant. Avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions. Consider applying a suede protector spray to offer a mild barrier against moisture and stains.
- Drying: If the shoes do get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
