FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Adidas LA Trainer is designed for casual wear and walking. While they offer comfort, they are not specialized running shoes and may not provide the necessary support or cushioning for high-impact running activities.
How do I know if I have the right size?
It is recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary. Check the brand's sizing chart and consider reviews regarding fit. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box and the heel doesn't slip.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the leather, suede, and midsole materials, potentially affecting the shoe's structure and appearance.
What is the best way to store these trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in damp conditions.
What does 'OG' mean in relation to this shoe?
'OG' stands for 'Original Gangster', often used in sneaker culture to refer to the original or first released version of a model, or a shoe that closely replicates that original design.
How do the heel plugs enhance comfort?
The heel plugs are part of the midsole design and are intended to provide targeted cushioning and shock absorption in the heel area, contributing to overall comfort during wear.
Troubleshooting
Initial tightness or discomfort
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for your foot shape.
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn dirt, a specialized suede cleaner can be used, followed by brushing.
Laces wear out
Replace laces with standard trainer laces of similar length. Ensure they are tied securely but not overly tight.
