FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
As a unisex model, it's recommended to check the adidas sizing chart and measure your foot to ensure you select the most accurate UK size. Some users may find they need to size down compared to their usual women's sizing.
How should I clean the gum sole?
The gum sole can be cleaned using a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Ensure the sole is dry before wearing.
Can I wear these for playing football?
These shoes are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While inspired by football heritage, they lack the specific features and support needed for competitive play.
What is the main material of these shoes?
The primary material for the upper of these shoes is leather.
What kind of tread does the sole have?
The shoes feature a gum sole with a textured grip tread designed to enhance traction and stability.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the laces to achieve a more secure or relaxed fit. If the issue persists, consider the specific fit of the shoe size against your foot measurements.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a leather conditioner or cream specifically designed for footwear. Allow it to absorb fully before wearing.
Soles are slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the gum sole is clean and free of debris. For new shoes, the sole may have a break-in period. If issues continue on specific surfaces, consider the limitations of the grip tread.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult wearers. As a unisex model, consider consulting a size chart to ensure the correct fit, especially if you typically wear women's sizing.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape. Do not place them near direct heat sources.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray to help guard against water and stains, extending the life and appearance of the material.
- Soles: The gum sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For the tread, use a soft brush to remove any embedded debris.
