FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
No, these are designed as lifestyle trainers for casual use and light activity, not for high-intensity long-distance running.
Can I put these shoes in the dryer?
Absolutely not. Excessive heat will warp the EVA midsole and damage the leather, causing it to crack.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The Retro Runner generally fits true to standard adult sizing, but individual foot shape can affect the experience.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
While leather provides some natural resistance, it is not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
How do I remove scuffs from the leather?
Use a soft eraser or a dedicated leather cleaner to gently buff out scuff marks.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or loses its shine
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream to restore moisture and luster.
Laces constantly come undone
Ensure you are using a double knot or checking the eyelet tension during the initial lacing process.
Creasing in the leather toe box
Use a shoe tree when the trainers are not being worn to help the leather maintain its structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas Retro Runner trainers remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Since the upper is made of leather, avoid machine washing, which can damage the material and adhesives. Instead, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and use a specialized leather cleaner for stubborn stains. If the shoes get wet, air-dry them naturally at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators. To keep the interior fresh, ensure you let the shoes ventilate after a day of use. For the best fit, ensure the laces are adjusted properly to the midfoot, as leather tends to retain its shape well over time.
