FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The adidas TENSAUR Run Shoes feature a textile upper, which offers breathability but is not specifically designed to be waterproof. They can withstand light splashes, but prolonged exposure to water will likely result in wet feet.
How do I clean the hook-and-loop straps if they stop sticking?
The most common reason for straps losing their stickiness is debris caught in the 'hook' fasteners. Use a stiff brush (like an old toothbrush) or a toothpick to carefully remove any lint, hair, or dirt from the hook side of the straps. This usually restores their grip.
What does 'True to Size' mean for these shoes?
'True to Size' indicates that the shoes are designed to fit according to standard foot measurements for their specified UK child size. You can generally select your child's usual shoe size without needing to size up or down.
Can my child wear these shoes for sports activities?
These shoes are well-suited for general active play, light running, and everyday casual sports. The Cloudfoam cushioning and synthetic outsole provide good comfort and traction for a variety of movements. However, for specialized or high-impact sports, dedicated athletic footwear might be more appropriate.
What is Cloudfoam?
Cloudfoam is a type of EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) foam developed by adidas that provides superior cushioning. It offers a soft, comfortable feel underfoot, absorbing impact and enhancing overall comfort for extended wear.
What does 'Contains at least 20% recycled content' mean?
This means that a significant portion of the materials used in the shoe's construction, by weight, comes from recycled sources. This initiative by adidas aims to help reduce waste and minimize the environmental impact of manufacturing new materials.
Is there a specific break-in period for these shoes?
Due to the flexible textile upper and Cloudfoam cushioning, these shoes typically require minimal to no break-in period. They should feel comfortable right out of the box, ready for your child's adventures.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
First, ensure you have the correct size; these shoes are 'True to Size'. Adjust the hook-and-loop straps to find a secure yet comfortable fit. Check the type of socks being worn; thicker socks can make shoes feel tighter.
Hook-and-loop straps are not holding securely.
Over time, lint and debris can build up in the 'hook' part of the strap. Use a small brush or a toothpick to gently clean out any debris from the hooks. Ensure the entire strap is pressed down firmly when securing.
Shoes get dirty quickly from active play.
This is normal for children's shoes. Implement a routine of wiping down the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap after outdoor activities. Air dry them thoroughly before the next wear.
My child complains of discomfort after long wear.
While equipped with Cloudfoam, ensure the shoes are not too small or large. Check for any foreign objects inside the shoe. If discomfort persists, consider if the shoe's support level is appropriate for their specific activity level or if they might need a different fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Setting up your child's adidas TENSAUR Run Shoes is straightforward:
- Open the straps: Fully detach the hook-and-loop straps.
- Slide foot in: Guide your child's foot into the shoe.
- Secure straps: Fasten the hook-and-loop straps snugly over the foot, ensuring they are secure but not too tight. Check for a comfortable fit with a bit of wiggle room for toes.
Compatibility
These shoes are designed for infant and child age groups and are Unisex. They are built to be True to Size, meaning you can generally rely on standard UK child shoe sizing when purchasing. They are compatible with a wide range of casual and athletic children's clothing.
Care
Proper care will help extend the life of your child's shoes:
- Daily Cleaning: After wear, especially if playing outdoors, wipe off any loose dirt or mud with a dry cloth or soft brush.
- Spot Cleaning: For tougher stains, gently wipe the textile upper and synthetic outsole with a damp cloth using a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge the entire shoe in water, as this can affect the Cloudfoam midsole and textile integrity.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
