FAQs

Is the adidas Rivalry Low 86 suitable for gym workouts?

While durable, these are lifestyle sneakers. For gym workouts involving heavy lifting or running, specialized athletic footwear is recommended.

Does this shoe come in other colors?

Yes, the Rivalry series features several colorways, including full grey and multicolor variants, depending on current stock.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the heat and agitation can damage the adhesives and structural integrity.

Are these shoes true to size?

Most users find them to be true to size, matching the standard fit of other adidas Originals footwear.

Is the leather genuine or synthetic?

The Rivalry Low 86 uses a mix of premium materials. Please refer to the specific label on your pair for exact composition details.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, they are not waterproof. We recommend applying a protective water-repellent spray if you plan to wear them in damp conditions.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the toe box area

This is a normal characteristic of leather and synthetic footwear; using shoe trees after wear helps reduce deep creases.

Staining on the white upper

Spot clean immediately with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated sneaker cleaning solution safe for synthetic and leather materials.

Laces coming untied frequently

Ensure they are laced through the top eyelets and consider a double-knot if you are walking long distances.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your adidas Rivalry Low 86 remains in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  • Sizing: This model follows standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to use your typical adidas size for an optimal fit.
  • Care Instructions: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt. For white leather or synthetic sections, wipe with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, as these can damage the finish.
  • Maintenance: Air dry shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the material. Use shoe trees to maintain the structural shape when not in use.
