adidas Tobacco - Brown - Suede - UK 8.5

No, the Adidas Tobacco sneakers, particularly the suede versions, are not waterproof. Suede is highly susceptible to water damage and staining. It is highly recommended to treat them with a waterproof or water-resistant spray designed for suede and to avoid wearing them in wet conditions.

To clean suede, first use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For scuffs, use a suede eraser. For deeper stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner sparingly with a clean cloth, then brush once dry. Always test products on an inconspicuous area first.

Generally, Adidas Tobacco sneakers are considered to run true to size. However, fit can vary slightly between individuals. If you are unsure, it's often recommended to try them on or consult a size guide specific to Adidas footwear.

The Adidas Tobacco sneaker is designed as a lifestyle and casual shoe, not for sports or running. Its construction focuses on classic style and everyday comfort rather than athletic performance, cushioning, or support needed for rigorous activities.

The gum rubber outsole provides excellent grip and traction on various surfaces, while also contributing significantly to the sneaker's authentic vintage aesthetic. It's a durable and classic sole material.

Regular maintenance is key for suede. Lightly brush them after each wear to remove dust. A more thorough cleaning, including spot treatment and re-application of protective spray, should be done as needed, or every few weeks depending on frequency of wear.

Use a dedicated suede brush. Brush gently in a single direction to lift the nap and restore the texture. For stubborn areas, try brushing against the nap first, then with it.

Gently rub the affected area with a suede eraser (or a clean pencil eraser) to lift the mark. Follow up with a suede brush to restore the nap.

Allow the sneakers to dry completely. Once dry, use a suede brush to try and remove the mark. For persistent water spots, lightly dampen a clean cloth with suede cleaner and gently blot the stain, then brush after drying.

Remove the insoles if possible and air them out. Place baking soda inside the shoes overnight (in a thin cloth bag or old sock) to absorb odors. Use shoe deodorizing sprays regularly.
