Full details

FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the adidas Tobacco series generally fits true to standard UK sizing, but suede can stretch slightly over time with regular use.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, washing machines can damage the suede material and weaken the adhesives used in the construction.

How should I clean the rubber soles?

Use a damp cloth and mild soap to wipe the rubber edges, then dry immediately with a clean cloth.

Is this shoe suitable for intense sports?

No, the Tobacco is a lifestyle trainer intended for casual, low-impact wear and lacks the technical cushioning required for sports.

What is the best way to protect the suede?

Apply a water-repellent spray designed specifically for suede before wearing the shoes for the first time.

Troubleshooting

Visible water or dirt spots on the suede

Use a specialized suede eraser or soft brush to gently lift dirt; avoid scrubbing hard to prevent damaging the nap.

Trainers feel stiff after storage

Wear them for short periods to break the material in again, or use a shoe tree to help maintain the shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile vintage style that pairs well with denim or chinos
  • Soft, comfortable construction for daily use
  • Lightweight feel thanks to the streamlined sole profile
  • High-quality material construction typical of the Tobacco series

Cons

  • Suede is susceptible to water and dirt stains
  • Limited arch support compared to modern technical performance shoes
  • Lighter colour palettes may show wear more quickly than dark leather alternatives

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your adidas Tobacco trainers in peak condition, regular maintenance is essential. As these are suede, it is highly recommended to use a suede-specific brush to remove surface dust after each wear. If the shoes become damp, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can cause the suede to warp or harden. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place to prevent mould or discolouration. Pair these shoes with straight-leg or tapered trousers to best showcase the low-collar aesthetic.
