FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for intense athletic activities?
While versatile, their minimalist design and flat profile make them less ideal for high-impact sports requiring significant cushioning or advanced arch support. They are best suited for casual wear, walking, and light training where a minimalist feel is desired.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For stubborn marks, a mild leather cleaner designed for athletic footwear can be used. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first, then condition the leather after cleaning.
Is the sizing standard for these trainers?
These trainers feature a 'Regular fit'. We recommend referring to the official Adidas size chart to ensure the most accurate fit, as individual foot shapes can vary.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but these shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided to protect the leather and maintain the shoe's condition.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is 100% rubber, providing excellent durability, flexibility, and reliable traction on various surfaces.
Are these shoes comfortable for all-day wear?
Yes, the 'soft feel' and leather upper are designed to provide comfort for extended periods. The regular fit contributes to overall wearability for daily activities.
Do these shoes offer arch support?
These trainers feature a 'flat profile', characteristic of minimalist footwear. They offer basic support but may not provide extensive arch support for individuals who require it. Consider adding orthotic insoles if additional arch support is needed.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and outsole. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole to reduce friction. Ensure the insoles are properly seated.
Leather appears dull or dry
Clean the leather thoroughly as per the care instructions, then apply a quality leather conditioner. This will help restore its luster and suppleness, preventing cracking over time.
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure you are tying a double knot for extra security. If the laces are old or stretched, consider replacing them with new, high-quality laces.
Unpleasant odor from shoes
Remove insoles and air them out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and leave overnight to absorb odors, then shake out. Ensure shoes are completely dry after use.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your leather trainers:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper:
- Wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust.
- For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for athletic footwear. Apply a small amount to a clean cloth and gently rub the affected area. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
- Wipe off any excess cleaner with a clean, damp cloth and let air dry.
- Caring for the Rubber Sole:
- Clean the rubber outsole with a brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
- For deeper cleaning, a mild soap and water solution can be used.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to the leather upper to keep it soft, prevent cracking, and maintain its natural luster. Follow the conditioner's instructions for application.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help them maintain their shape when not in use.
