FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The adidas Originals LA Trainer OG is designed primarily as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. While they offer comfort for walking, they do not provide the specialized support or cushioning required for serious running or athletic training.

How do I clean the heel plugs?

The heel plugs are typically made of plastic or a firm rubber. They can usually be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.

What is the fit like on the LA Trainer OG?

The LA Trainer OG generally offers a regular fit. However, it's always recommended to consult size charts and consider your foot shape for the best fit.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the rubber outsole offers some protection, the suede and textile upper is not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials.

What are the iconic heel plugs for?

The iconic heel plugs are a design feature that originated from the original LA Trainer. They are part of the shoe's aesthetic and heritage, contributing to its distinctive look rather than having a functional purpose related to performance.

How do I maintain the suede material?

Regular brushing with a suede brush helps maintain the nap and remove light dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product instructions carefully. Protectants can also help repel stains and moisture.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dirty or matted

Use a suede brush to restore the texture. For stains, use a suede cleaner as directed, and always test in an inconspicuous area first.

Laces are difficult to tie securely

Ensure laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets. Try different lacing techniques for a more secure fit.

Shoes feel stiff initially

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. The combination of suede and textile should offer increasing flexibility with wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general lifestyle use and are compatible with a wide range of casual outfits. They are not intended for high-performance athletic activities.

Care:
