FAQs
How do I clean my adidas Stan Smith Lo Pro trainers?
For the leather upper, wipe with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner. The rubber sole can be cleaned with a brush and mild soap. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Stan Smith Lo Pro has a slim, low-profile silhouette. While genuine leather will stretch and mold to your foot over time, individuals with very wide feet may find them snug initially. It's recommended to try them on to ensure comfort.
What does 'Lo Pro' mean?
'Lo Pro' refers to the low-profile or slimmed-down silhouette of the shoe, giving it a more refined and understated look compared to the traditional Stan Smith model.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
While the genuine leather offers some natural water resistance, these shoes are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided to protect the leather. Consider applying a water-repellent spray for added protection.
Are they true to size?
Generally, adidas Stan Smith models tend to run true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary slightly. We recommend referring to the official adidas size guide or trying them on if possible.
Are these suitable for sports like tennis?
No, while the original Stan Smith was a tennis shoe, the Stan Smith Lo Pro is designed as a lifestyle and fashion trainer. It is not engineered for the demanding performance or support required for active sports like tennis.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is crafted entirely from high-quality natural (genuine) leather, providing durability, comfort, and a premium aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or dry.
The genuine leather needs conditioning. Clean the shoes thoroughly, then apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream, rubbing it in gently with a soft cloth. This will restore moisture and luster.
Minor scuffs or scratches on the black leather.
For light scuffs, try gently rubbing the area with a soft, clean cloth. For deeper marks, a small amount of black shoe polish or a leather repair balm specifically designed for black leather can help to conceal the imperfection. Apply sparingly and buff.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable during initial wear.
Genuine leather requires a break-in period. Wear the shoes for short periods around the house to allow the leather to soften and mold to your feet. Wearing thicker socks initially can also help stretch the leather slightly.
Sole losing grip or getting dirty.
Regularly clean the rubber outsole using a brush and a mild soap solution to remove dirt, debris, and grime that can reduce traction. Ensure the sole is dry before wearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup

Care and Maintenance
Maintaining the high-quality genuine leather is key to preserving the appearance and longevity of your Stan Smith Lo Pro trainers.
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove dust and light dirt.
- Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth. Always follow the product's instructions and test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep the leather supple, prevent drying and cracking, and maintain its luster.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray designed for leather to offer an extra layer of protection, especially against unexpected spills or light rain.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape. Avoid direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
- Sole Care: Clean the rubber outsole with a mild soap solution and a brush to maintain traction and appearance.
