FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the suede material is not inherently waterproof. It is highly recommended to apply a suede protector spray before first wear and regularly thereafter for water resistance, but avoid heavy rain or puddles.
How do I clean the white 3-Stripes?
The White serrated 3-Stripes can be gently cleaned with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse lightly with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Can I wear these for sports or running?
While comfortable, these trainers are designed for casual wear and style, not for performance sports, running, or intense physical activity. Using them for such purposes may lead to premature wear and tear.
What is the main material of the upper?
The upper of the adidas Originals Montreal trainers is primarily made from premium cow suede leather.
How true to size are these trainers?
adidas trainers typically run true to size. This specific pair is a UK size 6. If you are unsure about sizing, it's often best to consult an adidas size chart or try them on if possible.
Will the gum sole mark floors?
The Gum 5 rubber outsole is designed not to leave marks on most indoor surfaces under normal use. However, extremely dirty soles could potentially scuff light-colored floors.
How often should I apply suede protector?
It's recommended to apply a suede protector spray every few months, or more frequently if you wear your trainers often or in varying weather conditions. Always follow the specific product instructions.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or matted
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush in one direction to lift the nap and restore its texture. For deeper matting, use a suede eraser before brushing.
Trainers feel stiff initially
Wear them for short periods around the house to break them in. The cow suede leather upper will naturally soften and conform to your foot with regular use.
Stains on suede are not coming off
For light stains, use a suede eraser. For tougher or oily stains, it is best to consult a professional suede cleaner. Avoid applying excessive water or harsh cleaning agents yourself.
Poor grip on the sole
Ensure the gum rubber outsole is clean. Accumulated dirt and debris can reduce traction. Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove any build-up.
Color fading on suede
This can occur with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. A suede protector spray can also offer some UV protection.

Care Instructions
Proper care for your suede trainers will ensure their longevity and maintain their premium appearance.
- Protection (Before First Wear):
- Apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
- Regular Cleaning (Suede Upper):
- Use a suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser. Gently rub the eraser over the mark.
- Avoid water directly on suede. If your trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat (like radiators or sunlight).
- Do not use harsh chemicals or detergents, as these can damage the suede.
- Sole Care:
- Wipe the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. Rinse the cloth and wipe again.
- Ensure the sole is dry before storage or wear.
- Storage:
- Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, which can fade the suede.
- Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape when not in use.
