FAQs
Are the Retropy E5 trainers waterproof?
While the leather construction offers some resistance to light moisture, they are not waterproof and should not be submerged or worn in heavy rain.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the structural integrity of the shoe. Stick to hand cleaning with a damp cloth.
What kind of socks should I wear with these?
Low-cut or ankle socks are recommended for a cleaner look, while moisture-wicking materials will help keep your feet cool during longer periods of wear.
Are these shoes true to size?
The Retropy E5 generally follows standard adidas sizing, but as they are made of leather, they provide a firm, secure fit.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
These are categorized as lifestyle trainers and are best suited for walking and casual activities rather than high-intensity gym sessions.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather upper
This is a natural occurrence with leather footwear; using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.
Surface scuffs on the black finish
Use a black leather polish or specialized leather conditioner to buff out minor scuffs and restore the uniform black appearance.
Feeling too tight initially
Leather will naturally conform to your foot shape over time; try wearing them for short intervals indoors to break them in before extended wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Retropy E5 trainers last, it is important to treat the leather properly. Use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt and dust after each use. If the leather becomes stained, use a damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner, ensuring you do not soak the material. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the leather and the adhesives. For the best comfort, ensure your socks are breathable, as leather provides a naturally structured fit that doesn't stretch as much as knit materials. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading.
