FAQs
What material is the main upper made of?
The main upper is made of premium suede.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. Suede is susceptible to water damage, so it's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
How do I clean the crocodile print parts?
You can wipe the crocodile print overlays with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What is the sole made of?
The trainers feature a durable rubber outsole for essential traction.
Are these suitable for athletic performance?
While inspired by athletic heritage, these trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. They offer good traction for everyday activities but are not specialized for intense sports.
What is the fit like?
The fit is generally considered standard for adidas trainers. It's recommended to consult sizing charts or try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly between individuals.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner with a soft cloth, working gently. Allow to air dry completely before brushing again.
Shoes feel too tight.
Suede can stretch slightly with wear. Try wearing them with thicker socks for a short period. If still uncomfortable, consider using shoe trees to help expand the fit.
Water damage to suede.
Blot excess water immediately with a dry cloth. Stuff the shoes with paper to help them retain their shape and absorb moisture. Allow to air dry naturally. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap.
