FAQs
How do I choose the correct size for adidas Bravada shoes?
It's important to note that the adidas Bravada is small fitting. We recommend trying your usual UK size first, and if it feels too snug, consider going up one size for a more comfortable fit. Always try on footwear before making a final decision.
Can I machine wash my adidas Bravada shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the canvas upper, platform sole, and adhesives. It's best to spot clean the shoes by hand using a mild detergent and cold water, then air dry.
What is Cloudfoam cushioning?
Cloudfoam is adidas' signature cushioning technology designed to provide superior comfort. It's a soft, lightweight EVA compound that molds to your foot, offering responsive cushioning and plush comfort for all-day wear.
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports activities?
The adidas Bravada is designed as a casual lifestyle trainer. While comfortable for everyday walking, it is not specifically engineered for high-impact sports or running. For athletic performance, we recommend dedicated sports footwear.
What does 'Better Cotton' mean?
Better Cotton is a global not-for-profit organisation that exists to make global cotton production better for the people who produce it, better for the environment it grows in, and better for the sector's future. By partnering with Better Cotton, adidas supports more sustainable cotton farming practices.
How do I deal with the platform sole becoming dirty?
The thick platform sole can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth or a soft brush and mild soap. For scuffs, a magic eraser or a specialized shoe cleaner designed for rubber soles can be effective. Always wipe clean and air dry.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable after wearing.
The Bravada is noted to run small. If discomfort persists after initial wear, consider exchanging for one size larger. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, and give them a few wears to break in.
Lack of expected traction on certain surfaces.
Clean the rubber sole thoroughly to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be reducing grip. Ensure the sole is dry before use. If the sole appears worn smooth, it may be time for new footwear.
Canvas upper shows signs of fading or discoloration.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when storing. When cleaning, use only mild detergents and avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing which can strip color. Air dry completely to prevent water marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Setting up your adidas Bravada shoes is straightforward:
- Unboxing: Remove the shoes from their packaging.
- Lacing: Loosen the laces, slip your foot in, and then tighten the laces to your preferred comfort level. Ensure they are snug but not too tight.
- Sizing Check: Given that these shoes run small, wear them for a short period indoors to confirm the fit before extensive outdoor use. If they feel too tight, consider trying a larger size.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed for versatility:
- Attire: They pair well with various casual wear such as jeans, shorts, leggings, casual dresses, and skirts.
- Occasions: Ideal for daily wear, casual social events, walking, and urban exploration.
- Foot Type: While generally comfortable, individuals with wider feet might find them snug due to the 'small fitting' characteristic. It's recommended to try them on.
Care Instructions
Proper care will prolong the life and appearance of your Bravada shoes:
- Spot Cleaning: For light dirt or stains on the canvas upper, use a soft brush or cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Gently scrub the affected area.
- Deep Cleaning (Canvas): For more stubborn dirt, a gentle hand wash with cold water and mild detergent can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
- Sole Cleaning: The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth or brush to remove mud and debris.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, to prevent material damage or warping. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of the canvas.
