FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?
While inspired by basketball, these are designed as lifestyle trainers. They lack the high-performance cushioning and specialized support required for competitive play.
How do I determine my size?
These trainers use standard UK adult sizing. We recommend checking your current athletic shoe size or measuring your foot length to ensure a proper fit.
Are these machine washable?
We do not recommend machine washing, as the heat and agitation can damage the structural integrity and adhesives of the shoe. Use hand cleaning methods instead.
Does the mid-top design make them hard to put on?
Loosening the laces all the way to the mid-foot area will make the entry point wider and easier to navigate.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the internal liners are designed to be removable if you need to use custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight or loose
Adjust the tension through each eyelet row rather than just at the top knot to distribute pressure evenly.
Scuff marks on the synthetic upper
Use a non-abrasive eraser or a specialized sneaker cleaning wipe to gently buff away minor marks.
Initial stiffness when new
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the synthetic material and textile lining to conform to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas Hoops MID trainers provide the best experience, start by loosening the laces fully before sliding your foot in to avoid stress on the heel counter. These shoes are unisex and align with standard UK adult sizing.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the synthetic upper with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to remove surface dirt.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to maintain the shape of the mid-top collar.
- Insoles: Remove the inner sockliner periodically to allow the interior to air out after heavy use.
