FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The Stan Smith trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. While they offer comfort and support, they are not intended for high-impact sports or athletic training.
How do I clean the black leather?
Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For stains, a dedicated leather cleaner is recommended. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry.
Will the black colour fade?
The 'Triple Black' colourway is designed to be durable. However, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading over time. Storing them away from direct light when not in use can help maintain the colour.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but the trainers are not fully waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
What is the difference between Stan Smith and other adidas trainers?
The Stan Smith is distinguished by its minimalist design, iconic perforated 3-Stripes, and signature heel tab, making it a classic lifestyle sneaker rather than a performance-focused athletic shoe.
Can I wear these with socks?
Yes, these trainers are designed to be worn with socks for comfort and hygiene. You can choose sock thickness based on personal preference and the desired fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in process if they feel slightly loose, or thinner socks if they are snug.
Leather scuffs easily
Use a leather eraser or a specialized leather cleaner for minor scuffs. For deeper marks, consider a leather recolouring balm that matches the 'Triple Black' shade.
Soles becoming slippery
Ensure the rubber soles are clean and free from debris. If the pattern is significantly worn down, replacement may be necessary.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid machine washing.
- Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing with paper can help maintain shape and absorb moisture.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking, especially after cleaning.
