FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

These trainers are designed for everyday wear and light activities. While they offer good cushioning and traction, they may not provide the specialized support required for intensive sports.

What materials are the trainers made of?

The trainers feature a textile and synthetic open mesh upper with synthetic overlays and a synthetic sole, including an EVA midsole and rubber outsole.

How do I ensure the best fit for my child?

It is recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it against the adidas sizing chart for junior trainers. The correct UK size should be chosen based on these measurements.

Can these trainers be washed in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended. It is best to clean the trainers by hand using a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry them.

What is the TORSION System?

The TORSION System is an adidas technology that provides support to the midfoot and allows the forefoot and rearfoot to move independently, enhancing stability and control.

Are there other color options available?

This specific product listing is for the black colorway. Availability of other colors may vary by retailer and season.

What is the primary benefit of the mesh upper?

The open-hole mesh upper is designed to increase airflow, helping to keep the wearer's feet cool and comfortable.

Troubleshooting

Sizing seems incorrect

Consult the adidas sizing chart for junior footwear and measure your child's foot accurately. Ensure the correct UK size is selected based on measurements.

Shoes feel stiff initially

New shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the materials to soften and conform to the foot.

Laces come undone easily

Ensure the laces are tied securely using a double knot if necessary. Consider replacing them with a different type of lace if they are too slippery.

Discoloration on mesh upper

Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Clean gently with a damp cloth as per care instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no setup beyond lacing them up. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a comfortable and secure fit.

Compatibility: Suitable for general wear by children. They are designed to be worn with most casual outfits.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the textile and synthetic mesh with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap and water solution.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and water solution to clean the EVA midsole and rubber outsole.
  3. Drying: Air dry the trainers away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and construction.
  4. Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning if heavily soiled. Hand wash them with mild soap and water, then air dry.
