Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and readjust for a more comfortable fit. Ensure you are wearing the correct sock thickness.

Leather creasing excessively

This is normal with leather wear. Using shoe trees when storing can help minimize creasing. Avoid bending the shoes sharply.

Traction feels reduced

Clean the synthetic outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth or brush to remove accumulated dirt and debris.

Discomfort during wear

Ensure the shoes are properly broken in. Try wearing them for shorter periods initially and gradually increase duration. Check lacing technique.

Care: To maintain the condition of your adidas KAPTIR Base Shoes:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and marks from the textile and leather surfaces. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth.
  2. Lining Care: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally. Avoid direct heat or prolonged exposure to sunlight, which can damage materials.
  3. Outsole Maintenance: Clean the synthetic outsole with a brush or damp cloth to remove debris. Ensure the tread is clear for optimal grip.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape when not in use.
