FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities?
While comfortable for walking, these trainers are primarily fashion-oriented due to their unique espadrille sole and collaborative design. They are not intended for high-impact sports or athletic training.
How does the espadrille sole differ from a rubber sole?
An espadrille sole is typically made of jute rope braided and stitched together, often with a rubber or canvas base for durability. It offers a more flexible and textured feel compared to a traditional rubber sole.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear these trainers in wet weather. The espadrille sole is particularly susceptible to water damage, which can affect its structure and appearance.
What does the 'CLOT x adidas' collaboration signify?
This signifies a partnership between adidas and CLOT, a lifestyle brand founded by Edison Chen. Such collaborations typically result in unique designs that blend the iconic style of adidas with the creative vision of CLOT.
How should I size these trainers?
These trainers are available in UK adult male sizing. It is recommended to refer to standard adidas sizing charts and consider your usual fit for trainers.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The product description indicates a classic black with green accents, suggesting the upper is likely constructed from high-quality leather, consistent with the Stan Smith line, although specific material variations may exist within the CLOT collaboration.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
This is a natural occurrence with leather. To minimize creasing, ensure proper fit and avoid overly tight lacing. Using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain shape.
Espadrille sole fraying
Minor fraying can sometimes be carefully trimmed with small scissors. For significant damage, professional repair may be necessary.
Discoloration from water exposure
If the trainers get wet, dry them immediately with a soft cloth and allow to air dry away from heat. Water stains on leather can be difficult to remove and may require professional attention.
Laces becoming dirty
Remove laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water, or place them in a mesh laundry bag and machine wash on a delicate cycle.

Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of your CLOT x adidas Stan Smith Espadrille trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For leather sections, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
- Cleaning the Espadrille Sole: Gently brush away loose dirt with a soft brush. Spot clean any marks with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the sole, as this can damage the jute material.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat or sunlight, which can cause materials to warp or fade.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or original box, to protect them from dust and prevent creasing.
