Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Gently brush the suede in one direction using a dedicated suede brush to lift dirt and restore the nap.

Minor scuffs or marks on suede

Use a suede eraser to gently rub away superficial scuffs or marks.

Water spots on suede

If already wet, allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. Consider a professional suede cleaner for significant water damage. Prevent future spots with a protective spray.

Laces constantly come untied

Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a double knot. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with new ones.

Sole feels slippery

Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may reduce traction.

Uncomfortable fit

Adjust the lacing system for a looser or tighter fit as needed. Ensure you selected the correct size, referencing adidas's standard sizing.

Care Instructions

Maintaining the appearance and longevity of your suede sneakers requires specific care.

  • Suede Upper Care:
  1. Brushing: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap (the soft, fuzzy surface). Brush in one direction to keep the fibers uniform.
  2. Stain Removal: For minor stains, use a suede eraser. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner may be needed. Always spot-test in an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Water Protection: Suede is highly susceptible to water damage. Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede before the first wear and reapply periodically. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
  4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the suede.
  • Rubber Outsole Care:
  1. Cleaning: Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and grime. Avoid getting the suede wet.
  2. Grip Maintenance: Regularly clean the treads to ensure optimal grip.
  • General Storage:
  1. Keep Dry: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
  2. Maintain Shape: Use shoe trees or stuff with acid-free paper to help maintain their original shape when not in use. Keep the original special packaging for safekeeping and display.
