Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Refer to the adidas sizing chart for precise measurements. Consider the width of your foot and the typical fit of adidas trainers. If possible, try on a pair before purchasing or be prepared for an exchange if the fit is not right.
Suede material getting dirty
Use a suede brush for regular cleaning of dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a slightly damp cloth with a minimal amount of mild soap, and test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Gum sole scuffing
Minor scuffs on the gum sole can often be gently buffed out with a pencil eraser or a specialized sole cleaner. Regular wiping after use can prevent excessive dirt build-up.
