FAQs
Is the adidas Response CL true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, though the chunky build may feel slightly more spacious than minimal trainers.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the leather and mesh overlays.
Can I use these for marathon running?
No, the Response CL is designed for lifestyle and casual use and lacks the advanced technical features required for long-distance running.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is a combination of breathable mesh for the base and high-quality leather overlays for support.
Is the rubber outsole non-marking?
The black rubber outsole is designed for durability and grip; while generally suitable for most surfaces, we recommend testing before use on sensitive indoor gym floors.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the white mesh
Use a soft brush and a dedicated sneaker cleaning solution to lift dirt from the mesh weave before wiping with a damp cloth.
Midsole feels stiff after initial use
EVA foam typically requires a short break-in period of 3-5 days of consistent wear to soften and mold to your foot shape.
Laces coming loose frequently
Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets and consider a double knot if the round lacing material slips.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather and mesh surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Use a mild soap solution for tougher dirt, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking or warping.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees if you want to maintain the specific shape of the toe box.
- Usage: While the rubber outsole is durable, avoid using these in muddy or extremely wet off-road environments to protect the mesh fabric.
