FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

The adidas VL Court Bold Junior shoes are designed for casual everyday wear and light activities. While durable, they are not specifically engineered for high-performance sports like competitive running or basketball.

How do I clean the leather upper?

For general cleaning, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt or stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner following its product instructions. Avoid machine washing.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

The leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but these shoes are not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or wet conditions, consider applying a waterproof spray suitable for leather footwear.

What does 'Regular Fit' mean?

'Regular Fit' indicates that the shoes are designed to provide a standard, comfortable fit that accommodates most foot shapes without being too narrow or too wide.

Is the sizing true to size for juniors?

adidas junior sizing is generally consistent. However, foot shapes vary. We recommend consulting the adidas size chart for juniors and possibly measuring your child's foot to ensure the best fit.

What is the sole made of?

The outsole is made of durable rubber, designed to provide good traction and grip for everyday activities.

Are these shoes heavy?

The adidas VL Court Bold Junior shoes are constructed to be lightweight enough for comfortable daily wear, considering the durable leather upper and rubber outsole.

What is the benefit of a lace closure?

A lace closure allows for a highly adjustable and secure fit, which is particularly beneficial for active juniors to keep their feet stable and comfortable.

Troubleshooting

Laces frequently come untied

Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot to prevent loosening during activity.

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Check that the laces are not pulled too tight. If discomfort persists, consider checking the sizing or wearing thinner socks. Ensure the foot is properly seated in the shoe.

Slipping on certain surfaces

While the rubber outsole provides good traction, extreme conditions (e.g., ice, slick wet surfaces) may still pose a risk. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. Avoid unsuitable terrains.

Leather upper appears dull or stained

Clean regularly with a damp cloth. For stains, use a leather-specific cleaner according to its instructions. Condition the leather periodically to maintain its appearance.

Care

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your leather shoes:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For tougher spots, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for leather footwear.
  2. Textile Lining Care: The textile lining can be gently wiped with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
  3. Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them loosely with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  4. Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge the entire shoe in water, as this can damage the leather and overall structure.
  5. Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to repel water and stains, especially if worn frequently in varied weather conditions.
