Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear with thinner socks or consider a shoe stretcher. If the tightness persists and is uncomfortable, consider exchanging for a larger size if possible.

Scuff marks on leather

Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild leather cleaner. For deeper scuffs, a leather repair kit or professional shoe restoration service may be required.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes be due to friction between the sole and the insole. Try removing the insole, cleaning it and the shoe bed, and reinserting it. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole can also help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers require no setup as they are ready to wear out of the box. They are compatible with standard sock wear for comfort. To care for your adidas Crazy 97 EQT Elevation trainers, it is recommended to clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the leather and internal cushioning. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used carefully on the sole and leather areas.
