FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?
The VL Court 3.0 features a skate-inspired vulcanised outsole, making them ideal for casual skating or as a lifestyle shoe that retains a skate aesthetic.
Are they waterproof?
The leather upper provides better water resistance than mesh, but they are not fully waterproof and should be dried naturally if they become wet.
Do these fit true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for adidas adult footwear.
Can I replace the insoles?
The interior features a textile lining; while the stock cushioning is comfortable, you may replace the insoles with orthotic inserts if necessary.
How should I clean the white sections of the stripes?
Gently clean the stripes with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Be careful not to let excess water soak into the leather.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot or double-check the tightness of your initial cross-over to increase friction on the synthetic laces.
Leather showing minor creases
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather as it conforms to your foot. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the shape and minimize deep wrinkles.
Outer sole picking up small stones
The tread pattern is designed for grip, but occasionally debris can get lodged. Use a soft brush to clear the grooves of the rubber outsole periodically.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas VL Court 3.0 Trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Leather uppers may feel slightly stiff upon the first wear. Allow for a short period of walking to let the material soften and contour to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt from the leather. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the material.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the leather to fade or crack over time.
- Maintenance: Periodically apply a leather conditioner or protector to maintain the suppleness of the upper and prevent stains.
