FAQs
Are these adidas Bravada 2.0 Platform Trainers suitable for running?
While classified as 'sports shoes,' their design with a flat heel and platform sole prioritizes casual style and everyday comfort. They are best suited for light walking, casual wear, and urban exploration rather than high-performance running or intense athletic activities.
How do I choose the correct size?
These trainers are offered in adult UK sizes. This specific product is a Size 3 UK. For the best fit, it is always recommended to try them on, especially if you are unsure or typically between sizes. Note that these are women's sizes.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the textile materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Please refer to the 'Care Advice' section for proper cleaning instructions.
What is the benefit of the platform sole?
The platform sole adds a contemporary, fashionable aesthetic and provides a subtle increase in height. It enhances the visual appeal of the trainer while maintaining comfort for daily wear.
What are the primary materials used in these trainers?
The uppers, lining, and cushioning are all made from 100% textile, ensuring a lightweight and comfortable feel. The sole is constructed from 100% rubber for durability and excellent traction.
Are these shoes heavy due to the platform?
Despite the platform design, these trainers are designed to be comfortable for everyday wear. While they have a more substantial sole than traditional flat trainers, they are not excessively heavy, thanks to their textile construction.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lace-up fastening to achieve a more comfortable and secure fit. Experiment with different lacing techniques if standard lacing doesn't provide the desired comfort. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.
The 100% rubber sole provides good traction; however, ensure the sole is clean and free of debris. Avoid walking on excessively wet, oily, or icy surfaces if possible. If the issue persists, inspect the tread for wear.
Textile uppers appear dirty or stained.
Gently clean the textile uppers with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Work in a circular motion, then wipe with a clean damp cloth to remove soap residue. Allow to air dry completely.
Unpleasant odor from inside the shoes.
Regularly air out your trainers after each use. Remove insoles to allow them to dry separately. Consider using shoe deodorizers or placing baking soda in the shoes overnight to absorb odors.

Care Advice
Proper care extends the life and maintains the appearance of your trainers:
- Uppers (100% Textile): Gently wipe away dirt and stains with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a small amount of mild soap mixed with water. Avoid harsh cleaning agents or abrasive brushes.
- Lining & Cushioning (100% Textile): To prevent odors, air out your trainers regularly after use. You can also use shoe deodorizers if needed.
- Sole (100% Rubber): Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth to remove mud or debris. A small brush can help clean crevices.
- Drying: Always allow your trainers to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the textile materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use.
