FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Most users find that the adidas Originals Spezial fits true to size, though personal preference for a tighter or looser fit may vary.

Can I wear these in the rain?

It is not recommended. The suede upper can absorb moisture, leading to potential staining or material degradation.

How do I keep the grey suede looking fresh?

Regular brushing with a soft brush and using a water-repellent spray will help maintain the look and texture of the material.

Are these suitable for running?

No, these are classified as lifestyle trainers. They lack the technical support and cushioning required for running.

Do these shoes come in other colours?

The Spezial series often features various colourways, though this specific model is part of the grey series.

How should I store them when not in use?

Store them in a well-ventilated area, ideally with shoe trees or paper stuffing to maintain their shape.

Troubleshooting

Visible scuff marks on the suede

Gently rub the affected area with a suede-specific eraser to lift the nap and minimize the appearance of the mark.

Shoes feel stiff initially

Wear the shoes for short periods at home to allow the suede and internal materials to naturally contour to your foot shape.

Dirt buildup on the sole

Use a damp cloth and mild soap to wipe the edges of the rubber midsole, being careful to avoid getting the suede upper wet.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless and iconic aesthetic
  • Soft and comfortable suede material
  • Neutral colourway suitable for most outfits
  • High-quality construction and detailing

Cons

  • Suede requires specific care to prevent staining
  • Limited water resistance due to suede material
  • May require breaking in for a perfect custom fit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When purchasing the adidas Originals Spezial, ensure you select the appropriate UK size for your foot profile. Since these are leather-based suede shoes, it is highly recommended to apply a protective suede spray before the first use to repel water and surface dirt.

Care Instructions:

  1. Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove loose dirt or dust.
  2. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaning solution.
  3. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the grey colour from fading.
  4. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or placing them in a washing machine, as this will damage the texture and integrity of the suede.
