FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Grand Court Alpha is designed for casual, everyday lifestyle wear and does not provide the technical support or impact protection required for long-distance running.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
adidas trainers generally fit true to size, but we recommend measuring your foot at the end of the day when it is at its largest and comparing it against the official adidas size guide.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to wash these in a machine as it can degrade the adhesive and damage the synthetic materials. Spot cleaning is the best method.
What is the primary difference between leather and synthetic uppers?
Synthetic uppers are generally easier to clean and maintain, whereas leather offers more natural breathability and tends to conform better to the foot over time.
Are these trainers water-resistant?
While the synthetic upper can handle light splashes, they are not fully waterproof and should be avoided in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure you are using a double-knot or replacing the laces with a slightly more textured set if slipping persists.
Midsole appearing dirty
Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently buff the white surface of the Cloudfoam midsole.
Feeling too tight at the bridge of the foot
Try a different lacing technique, such as 'window lacing' or skipping the eyelet over the high point of the bridge to reduce pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your adidas Grand Court Alpha trainers requires minimal setup but consistent care. Upon unboxing, ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension to accommodate your specific arch height.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe away surface dust or mud with a soft, damp cloth after use. Avoid submerging in water.
- Drying: Air dry in a cool, shaded place away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent synthetic material deformation.
- Storage: Store in a dry, ventilated area to maintain the integrity of the textile lining and prevent odors.
- Maintenance: For deeper cleaning of the midsole, use a mild soap solution and a soft-bristled brush to remove stubborn marks.
