Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Leather can stretch slightly with wear. Try wearing them with thin socks for a few hours. If still uncomfortable, consider professional stretching or exploring different sizes.

Leather creasing excessively

Natural creasing is normal for leather. To minimize, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid bending the shoes excessively when walking.

Discoloration on suede areas

Suede is sensitive to moisture and certain chemicals. If discolored, try a specialized suede eraser or brush. Protect with a suede protector spray.

Traction feels reduced

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. If the sole appears worn down, it may be time to consider a replacement from a cobbler.

Compatibility: While designed as unisex trainers, the sizing is based on UK adult foot sizes. It's recommended to consult the adidas sizing chart for the best fit.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
  2. Suede Care: Use a suede brush to maintain the texture and remove dry dirt. Avoid water on suede areas.
  3. Midsole and Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth or a mild soap solution.
  4. Lining: If the inner lining needs cleaning, use a damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation. Use shoe trees to maintain shape.
