FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

These trainers are designed for comfort and casual wear, not high-impact running. They offer good support for walking and light activities but lack the specialized cushioning and structure of dedicated running shoes.

How do I check if the size is correct, given the sizing variations?

Always try the shoes on indoors before returning them. Pay attention to the UK size marked on the shoe or its box. If the packaging shows US or Euro sizing, compare it carefully to the UK size you ordered.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the leather upper offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may saturate the materials. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions and ensure they are thoroughly dried afterwards if they do get damp.

What is the main advantage of the elasticated closure?

The elasticated closure provides a secure, adaptable fit that conforms to your foot shape, offering both comfort and ease of use. It simplifies putting on and taking off the shoes.

How often should I clean and condition the leather?

It is recommended to clean your leather trainers regularly, especially after exposure to dirt or moisture. Conditioning the leather every few months, or as needed based on wear, helps maintain its suppleness and prevent cracking.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

This specific model is available in various colors and styles within the adidas Sportswear range. Please check the product listings for available color options, such as Red/White, White, Black/White, Beige, and other Silver variations.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight upon first wear.

Leather will stretch slightly with wear. Try wearing them around the house for short periods with thin socks. If still uncomfortable, consider if a larger size is needed.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the outsole or between different material layers. Try adding a small amount of talcum powder under the insole. Ensure the shoes are completely dry.

Difficulty slipping the shoe on.

Ensure the elasticated closure is fully relaxed. Pull the heel tab while sliding your foot in. If the shoes are new, the elastic may be stiffer.

Leather shows scuffs or marks.

For minor scuffs, try polishing with a color-matched leather polish or shoe cream. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the leather upper with a clean, damp cloth to remove dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the leather.
  2. Lining Maintenance: The textile lining can be spot cleaned with a mild soap and water solution. Ensure thorough drying to prevent odors.
  3. Outsole Care: Clean the rubber outsole with a brush or damp cloth to remove debris.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees if storing for extended periods to maintain shape.
  5. Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and construction.
