FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These shoes are designed primarily for casual daily wear and walking. While they are comfortable, they do not feature the technical support required for long-distance or high-intensity running.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a mild leather-safe cleaning solution. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
The Grand Court Alpha features a regular fit, which is generally consistent with standard adult sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the standard width comfortable due to the adjustable lace-up design.
Can I replace the internal sockliner?
Yes, the internal textile sockliner can generally be removed if you need to insert your own custom orthotics or replace it after extended wear.
What is CLOUDFOAM?
CLOUDFOAM is an adidas-specific cushioning technology in the midsole that provides a soft, responsive, and comfortable feel underfoot, specifically engineered to enhance walking comfort.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slightly stiff upon first use
Leather requires a brief break-in period; wear them for shorter intervals around the house to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot.
Visible scuff marks on the leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft, slightly damp cloth to gently buff out surface marks.
Laces coming untied frequently
Ensure you are using a double-knot or ensure the laces are pulled evenly through the eyelets before tying to prevent uneven tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Grand Court Alpha trainers stay in peak condition, follow these simple guidelines. Since the shoes feature a standard lace-up closure, adjust the laces to your comfort preference upon the first wear to ensure they aren't too tight across the instep. For routine care, gently wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or light scuffs. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the leather and the integrity of the adhesive bonds. If the interior becomes damp, remove the sockliner if possible and allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the material to warp.
