FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or intense sports?
No, adidas Grand Court shoes are designed for casual wear and light everyday activities. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for running or high-impact sports.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a suede brush for regular cleaning and to restore the nap. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner with a clean cloth and allow to air dry, then brush. Always use a suede protector spray before wearing to prevent stains and water damage.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the suede upper is not waterproof and can be easily damaged by water. It is recommended to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions.
What does 'regular fit' mean for these shoes?
'Regular fit' indicates a standard fit that is neither too narrow nor too wide, designed to accommodate most foot types comfortably for daily wear.
What does 'contains at least 20% recycled content' mean?
This means that a significant portion of the materials used in these shoes, by weight, comes from recycled sources. This initiative aims to reduce waste and reliance on virgin materials, contributing to a more sustainable product.
Can I put my Grand Court shoes in the washing machine?
No, washing machine use is strongly discouraged, especially for suede shoes. The harsh detergents and agitation can damage the suede, alter the shoe's structure, and degrade the adhesive.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted down
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap. Brush in one direction to lift the fibers and remove surface dirt.
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable after initial wear
Ensure the lace closure is not tied too tightly. Allow for a short break-in period; wear them for shorter durations at first. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct size.
White marks or scuffs appear on the suede
Use a suede eraser to gently rub away marks. For tougher scuffs, a suede brush might help. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes got wet and suede looks discolored or stiff
Blot excess water immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Allow shoes to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Once dry, gently brush the suede to restore its texture. Consider professional cleaning if damage is significant.

Care Instructions for Suede
Proper care is crucial for maintaining the look and longevity of your suede upper.
- Protection: Before your first wear, apply a suede protector spray to create a barrier against water and stains. Reapply periodically as per the product's instructions.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap (texture) of the suede.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor spots or stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or an eraser designed for suede. Apply sparingly and gently blot or rub, then brush.
- Avoid Water: Suede is highly susceptible to water damage. If your shoes get wet, blot them immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Do not use a hairdryer.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Deep Cleaning: For stubborn stains or a thorough clean, consider professional suede cleaning services.
