FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for high-intensity sports?
No, the R71 is designed primarily as a lifestyle and casual trainer, not for high-impact athletic performance.
How do I clean the mesh portion?
Use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth to gently dab the mesh, avoiding excessive water saturation.
Is the R71 true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult UK sizing for adidas products.
Can I use a suede protector spray?
Yes, using a water-repellent spray formulated for suede can help protect the material from light moisture and dust.
Are the insoles removable?
The insoles are designed to be integrated, but may be removed if you require specific orthotic replacements.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede surfaces
Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface debris in a single direction.
Creasing in the toe box area
Insert wooden or plastic shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the original shape and minimize creasing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your R71 trainers, it is essential to follow proper care protocols. Since the upper is a combination of mesh and suede, avoid machine washing, which can damage the delicate suede texture and compromise the shape of the shoe. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede sections regularly. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner sparingly using a microfiber cloth. Compatibility-wise, these trainers feature a standard fit; it is recommended to wear them with low-cut socks to maintain the clean, retro line of the ankle collar. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from drying out or cracking.
