FAQs

What is the 'City Series'?

The 'City Series' was a line of sneakers launched by adidas in the 1970s, with each model named after a major European city. The Paris is one of these iconic retro designs.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, these are casual lifestyle shoes designed for everyday wear and light activity. They do not offer the specific support or cushioning required for running.

How do I maintain the grey suede material?

Use a suede brush for dust and light dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and consider a suede protector spray. Avoid water and excessive cleaning agents.

What is the fit like?

The shoes generally have a low-profile, classic fit. They are designed for adult men and may fit narrower than modern athletic shoes. It's recommended to try them on if possible.

Can I wear these in the rain?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in heavy rain. The material can be easily stained and damaged by water. A suede protector spray can offer some resistance, but they are best suited for dry conditions.

What does UK size 8 correspond to?

UK size 8 is a standard men's shoe size. For international conversions, it typically corresponds to approximately US size 8.5 and EU size 42.

What material is the sole made of?

The sole is made of a textured rubber material, designed to provide grip and a streamlined look consistent with the shoe's retro design.

Troubleshooting

Suede material looks dirty or stained.

Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid washing with water.

Shoes feel a bit tight.

Suede can stretch slightly over time with wear. Try wearing them with medium-weight socks around the house. If they remain uncomfortable, consider professional stretching or they may be too small.

Sole appears worn.

Minor wear is normal with use. If the tread is significantly worn and traction is compromised, consult a shoe repair professional for potential sole replacement or repair.

Color transfer from suede to socks.

This can sometimes occur with new suede, especially darker colors. Wearing darker socks can help minimize the appearance. The color transfer should decrease with further wear and after any initial treatments.
