FAQs
Are these adidas Grand Court shoes suitable for running or sports activities?
No, the adidas Grand Court shoes are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They do not offer the specific support, cushioning, or stability required for running or intense sports activities.
How do I protect the suede material from water and stains?
It is highly recommended to treat the suede upper with a high-quality suede protector spray before first wear. Reapply periodically as directed by the protector product to help repel water and resist stains. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
What does 'regular fit' mean for these shoes?
A 'regular fit' indicates that the shoe is designed to accommodate a broad range of foot shapes comfortably. It provides a standard, true-to-size feel without being overly narrow or wide, promoting general comfort for daily wear.
Can I machine wash these suede shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended for these shoes, especially due to the suede material. Machine washing can damage the suede, alter its texture, and potentially harm other components. Always follow the specific care instructions provided.
What kind of recycled content is used in these shoes?
These shoes contain at least 20% recycled content, which typically comes from production waste, such as cutting scraps, and post-consumer household waste. This initiative helps reduce the environmental impact of producing virgin materials.
Are these shoes true to size?
As a 'regular fit' design, these shoes generally run true to size for adidas footwear. However, individual fit can vary. If you are unsure, referring to the adidas size guide and customer reviews for sizing recommendations can be helpful.
Troubleshooting
Suede upper looks dull, dirty, or has scuff marks.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and restore the nap. For scuffs, use a suede eraser. For deeper stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner according to its instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel too tight or too loose when worn.
Adjust the lace closure. Ensure you're lacing the shoes evenly from bottom to top, allowing for comfortable flexion of your foot without excessive pressure or looseness. Try re-lacing them entirely for an optimized fit.
Squeaking sound coming from the shoes while walking.
Often, a squeak comes from friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Remove the insole, clean the inside of the shoe and the underside of the insole, then reinsert. A sprinkle of baby powder under the insole can also help reduce friction.
Shoes got wet and the suede looks matted or stiff.
If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Let them air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap and softness.

Care
Proper care, especially for the suede upper, will prolong the life and appearance of your shoes:
- Suede Protection: Before first wear, and periodically thereafter, apply a quality suede protector spray. This helps repel water and resist stains.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove dust and surface dirt. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- Spot Cleaning: For specific stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. Apply according to the product's instructions, using a clean cloth or sponge.
- Avoid Water: Suede is not waterproof. Try to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Rubber Cupsole: Clean the rubber cupsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help maintain their shape.
