FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
No, the adidas Bravada 2.0 are specifically designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. Their construction is not intended for high-impact sports, running, or activities requiring specialized athletic support.
How do I ensure the correct fit?
These shoes are specified as UK 8.5 for adult females. We recommend trying them on to ensure a comfortable fit, as shoe sizing can vary. The lace closure allows for personalized adjustment to achieve optimal tightness.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
Machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the canvas, textile lining, and the overall structure of the shoe. Please refer to the 'Care' section of this guide for proper cleaning instructions.
What is the Cloudfoam sockliner?
The Cloudfoam sockliner is an ultra-soft EVA foam cushioning system integrated into the shoe. It provides superior comfort and impact absorption, making the shoes comfortable for extended, all-day wear.
Are these shoes breathable?
Yes, the canvas upper material combined with the textile lining is designed to offer good breathability, which helps keep your feet comfortable and cool throughout the day.
Do these shoes offer arch support?
As casual shoes, they offer standard comfort cushioning through the Cloudfoam sockliner. For individuals requiring specific or additional arch support, custom insoles may be considered for a personalized fit.
Is the black color prone to fading?
While the materials are durable, prolonged and direct exposure to harsh sunlight can potentially cause slight fading over an extended period, as with most colored fabrics. Proper care and storage, such as keeping them out of direct sunlight when not in use, can help maintain the color.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Loosen the laces and re-tie them, adjusting the tension for optimal comfort across your foot. New canvas shoes may require a short breaking-in period; wear them for shorter durations initially.
Canvas appears dirty or stained
Gently brush off any dry dirt using a soft brush. For tougher stains, use a mixture of mild soap and lukewarm water with a soft cloth or sponge to clean the area. Dab, do not rub aggressively, and then air dry away from direct sunlight.
Squeaking sound when walking
Sometimes this can be due to air trapped between the Cloudfoam sockliner and the outsole. Try removing the sockliner, cleaning the interior of the shoe and the sockliner, and then reinserting it. If the issue persists, the squeak might be coming from the sole on certain surfaces or from the shoe's construction.

Care
To clean the canvas upper, gently brush off any loose dirt or dust with a soft-bristled brush. For stains, prepare a mild soap solution (e.g., dish soap mixed with lukewarm water) and gently scrub the affected area with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals as they can damage the fabric. After cleaning, wipe the shoes with a clean, damp cloth to remove any soap residue. Allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can cause fading or material damage. The textile lining can be cleaned by wiping it with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water to preserve their structure and materials.
