Troubleshooting
Suede upper appears dull or matted
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and lift surface dirt. For more stubborn areas, a suede eraser can be effective before brushing. Regular care prevents this issue.
Shoes feel uncomfortably tight or loose
Adjust the front lace closure, ensuring the laces are evenly tensioned across your foot for optimal comfort. If discomfort persists, refer to the adidas sizing chart or try different lacing techniques.
