FAQs

Is the adidas R71 suitable for running?

The R71 is designed as a casual, lifestyle shoe. It is not engineered for long-distance running or high-intensity training.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed primarily from breathable mesh, complemented by durable leather and textured overlays.

Does this shoe come in different widths?

This model is manufactured in a standard regular fit, which accommodates most foot shapes.

How do I maintain the leather parts of the shoe?

Wipe the leather overlays with a clean, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could dry out or discolor the material.

Can I remove the insole?

The standard insole is designed for the shoe, but it is typically removable if you need to insert your own orthotics.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming loose

Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets and use a double knot if walking for extended periods.

Mesh becoming dusty

Use a dry, soft brush to gently flick dust particles out of the mesh weave.

Discomfort after long periods

Ensure you are using the correct size; if the fit is too tight, try loosening the laces toward the toe box.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your adidas R71 sneakers, proper care is essential.

Getting the Right Fit: The shoes feature a regular fit. It is recommended to use the lace closure to adjust tension across the midfoot before initial use.

Maintenance:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt from the mesh upper.
  2. Stains: For minor marks on the leather or synthetic overlays, wipe with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the color integrity of the materials.
  4. Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge in water, as this can damage the structural adhesives.
