FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are lifestyle trainers designed for casual everyday wear and are not built with the cushioning required for running.
How do I determine my size?
The VL Court Base typically follows standard UK sizing; refer to your previous adidas footwear size for the best fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended, as mechanical agitation and heat can damage the cupsole bonding and synthetic materials.
Are these shoes eco-friendly?
Yes, the upper is made with at least 50% recycled materials, part of the adidas commitment to reduce plastic waste.
Is the material real leather?
No, this specific model features a synthetic leather upper for durability and ease of cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty keeping laces tied
Ensure the laces are double-knotted or replace with a slightly textured flat lace if they continue to slip.
Scuff marks on the synthetic upper
Use a specialized synthetic cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft cloth to gently buff out surface scuffs.
Material feels stiff after purchase
The synthetic leather will soften with wear; wearing the shoes for short intervals indoors can help break them in comfortably.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes remain in top condition, start by ensuring a secure fit through the lace-up closure. These trainers generally run true to size, but consider using thin socks if you are between sizes to maintain comfort. For maintenance, it is recommended to use a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt from the synthetic leather upper. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high temperatures can compromise the structural integrity of the rubber outsole and bonding adhesives. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material cracking.
