FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or gym workouts?
No, the adidas Bravada is designed for casual wear and fashion purposes, prioritizing comfort and style for everyday use. They are not intended for high-performance athletic activities like running, intense gym workouts, or competitive sports.
How do I clean the polyester upper material?
To clean the polyester upper, gently wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. You can use a small amount of mild soap for stubborn spots. Air dry the shoes completely afterward, away from direct heat.
What is Cloudfoam cushioning?
Cloudfoam is a type of EVA foam developed by adidas that provides superior cushioning. It's designed to offer enhanced comfort, softness, and shock absorption, making the shoes comfortable for all-day wear.
Does the platform sole make the shoes heavy?
While the platform sole adds height and a distinctive look, adidas engineered the Bravada with comfort in mind. The materials, including Cloudfoam, are chosen to manage the overall weight, ensuring they remain comfortable for daily wear despite their elevated design.
Do these shoes offer good traction?
Yes, the adidas Bravada features a durable rubber outsole specifically designed to provide solid grip and reliable traction on various urban and everyday surfaces, ensuring stability during casual walks.
What is the recommended sizing for the adidas Bravada?
The adidas Bravada typically runs true to size for adult women. We recommend selecting your usual adidas shoe size. If you are unsure, referring to an adidas size guide or trying them on can help ensure the best fit.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The polyester upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but these shoes are not waterproof. For prolonged wet conditions, we recommend specialized waterproof footwear to protect the shoes and ensure your comfort.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff initially.
It's normal for new shoes to feel a bit stiff. Wear them for short periods at first to allow the Cloudfoam cushioning and upper material to break in and adapt to your foot's shape.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Squeaking often comes from the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then replacing the insole. This can reduce friction.
Shoes appear dirty or stained easily.
Regular light cleaning is best. For polyester, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Address stains promptly, as dried stains are harder to remove. Avoid aggressive scrubbing, which can damage the fabric.
Outsole grip seems inadequate.
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free of embedded debris, mud, or oils, which can reduce traction. While designed for solid grip, these shoes are for general urban use and not specialized for extreme slippery conditions.

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the look and feel of your Bravada shoes:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the polyester upper, gently wipe away dirt and stains with a soft, damp cloth. A small amount of mild soap can be used for tougher spots. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive scrubbers.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soapy water to clean the rubber outsole and platform sole.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can damage materials.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your adidas Bravada shoes, as this can degrade the materials, cushioning, and structural integrity.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape when not in use.
