FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by basketball design, these trainers are best suited for casual wear and light play. They may not offer the specialized support and grip needed for competitive basketball.

How do I clean the white rubber sole?

You can clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For tougher marks, a soft brush can be used. Always rinse with a clean, damp cloth and allow to air dry.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is made of a synthetic material, designed for durability and ease of cleaning.

Can these trainers be worn with orthotics?

The fit is designed for standard wear. While the textile sockliner is not explicitly removable, minor adjustments might be possible. However, it is recommended to try them on to assess comfort with any insoles.

What is the advantage of the elastic lacing system?

The elastic lacing system makes the trainers very easy for children to put on and take off themselves, promoting independence and saving time.

Are these trainers waterproof?

These trainers are not waterproof. They are designed for everyday wear and may not protect feet from significant water exposure.

What does 'Regular fit' mean for these shoes?

'Regular fit' indicates a standard width and volume suitable for most children's feet, without being too narrow or too wide.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the elastic laces as much as possible. If the sizing is consistently off, consider if a different size might be more appropriate, noting the UK children's sizing.

Difficulty getting the foot into the shoe

Ensure the elastic laces are loosened adequately. Gently pull the tongue forward and guide the foot in. The elastic laces are designed for ease, but sometimes a little manipulation is needed for a snug fit.

Tread wear on the rubber outsole

Normal wear and tear on the rubber outsole is expected with consistent use. If excessive wear is observed prematurely, check for any abrasive surfaces the child might be playing on.

Synthetic upper shows scuffs or marks

Wipe the affected area gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For minor scuffs, try rubbing them gently with a clean eraser, then wipe with a damp cloth.

Care Instructions: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your adidas Hoops Classic Trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to clean the rubber outsole and any midsole components. Ensure all dirt and debris are removed.
  3. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Laces: If the elastic laces become dirty, they can often be wiped clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, consult specific cleaning guides for elastic materials.
