FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Karintha OG generally follows standard adidas sizing, though if you prefer a thicker sock, some users recommend sizing up by a half size.
Can I use these for running?
These are lifestyle trainers. While they are comfortable for walking, they do not have the technical cushioning required for long-distance or high-impact running.
How do I clean the upper material?
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt and a lightly dampened cloth for deeper stains. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to insert custom orthotics.
Do they provide good grip on wet surfaces?
They feature a standard rubber outsole suitable for most dry and light damp city surfaces, but they are not specialized for slippery or icy conditions.
Is the leather genuine?
The Karintha OG models are crafted with high-quality materials, often featuring leather elements consistent with the adidas OG range.
Troubleshooting
Creasing near the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the material maintain its shape.
Discoloration of white accents
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a gentle mixture of baking soda and water to spot clean the affected areas.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure a double knot is used, or replace with slightly textured athletic laces if the stock laces are too smooth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are lace-up trainers, ensure you adjust the lacing tension according to your foot width to maximize stability. To maintain the condition of your trainers, avoid machine washing. Instead, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. For the soles, a soft-bristled brush can help remove debris. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials over time.
