FAQs

What is the primary inspiration for the R71 Shoes?

The Adidas Originals R71 Shoes are inspired by archival designs from the 1970s, blending vintage style with modern comfort.

What materials are used in the construction?

These shoes feature a combination of textile mesh and suede overlays for the upper, with a textile lining and a rubber outsole.

How should I clean the suede parts of the shoes?

Use a specialized suede brush for dry dirt and a suede cleaner for stains, following the product instructions carefully. Avoid using water on suede where possible.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?

These shoes are designed for everyday casual wear and comfort, not for specialized athletic activities. They offer good support for walking and daily use.

What is the fit like?

The R71 Shoes have a regular fit, designed to be comfortable for most adult foot shapes. They feature a standard lace closure for adjustability.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the rubber outsole provides some grip, the suede and mesh upper are not waterproof and may be damaged by excessive moisture. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stubborn stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner according to the manufacturer's instructions. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Shoes feel slightly tight.

Wear them with medium-thickness socks for a short period to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.

Mesh upper looks discolored.

Wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, as this can damage the mesh and suede.
