FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Adi Racer Lo is designed for casual everyday wear and light activities. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for intense running or athletic performance.

How do I clean the gum sole?

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently remove dirt and scuffs from the gum sole. Avoid using chemical cleaners, which may alter the color or texture.

What is the main difference between 'Adi Racer' and 'Adi Racer Lo'?

The 'Lo' in Adi Racer Lo signifies its low-cut silhouette, meaning it sits lower on the ankle compared to potentially higher-cut versions, enhancing its versatility for casual wear.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

While the shoes can handle light moisture, they are not waterproof. The gum sole's grip may be reduced on wet surfaces, so exercise caution.

What materials are these shoes made of?

The specific materials can vary, but typically feature a durable upper and a rubber gum sole. Refer to product packaging for exact material composition.

How do I find the right size?

Adidas shoes generally follow standard sizing. It is recommended to consult the size chart provided by the retailer or brand, and consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly between models.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear them with thicker socks around the house for a short period to allow the materials to stretch slightly. If they remain uncomfortable, consider the next size up.

Gum sole is slippery on wet surfaces

Exercise caution when walking on wet or smooth surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean of any debris that might further reduce traction.

Discoloration on the upper

Clean gently with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Adi Racer Lo shoes:

  • Cleaning: Gently clean the upper with a soft, damp cloth. For the gum sole, use a brush to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
