FAQs
What material is the adidas Stan Smith Crepe 'Sand Strata' made from?
The upper is made from durable leather, and the sole is made from crepe.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
No, these are designed as casual, everyday lifestyle sneakers and are not intended for high-performance athletic activities.
How should I clean the crepe sole?
Clean the crepe sole gently with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals, solvents, and excessive heat.
Do these shoes come in other colors?
Yes, the Stan Smith Crepe series is available in various colorways and finishes, though this guide focuses on the 'Sand Strata' brown low-top.
What size should I order?
These are designed for adult males. Refer to standard UK sizing. This particular model is a UK 8.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, prolonged exposure to water is not recommended. The crepe sole may also become slippery when wet.
What is the main difference between these and classic Stan Smiths?
The primary difference is the use of a crepe sole instead of a traditional rubber cupsole, offering a distinct look and feel.
Troubleshooting
Crepe sole appears discolored or stained.
Try cleaning gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn stains, use a specialized crepe sole cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Leather creasing excessively.
This is natural for leather. Ensure proper fit; if the shoe is too large, it can lead to exaggerated creasing. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.
Reduced grip on the sole.
Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris. Crepe soles can become smoother over time; gentle abrasion with a soft brush might help restore some texture. However, significant wear will naturally reduce grip.
Shoe feels stiff or uncomfortable.
Allow for a break-in period. Wear the shoes for short periods initially. Ensure you have the correct size and width for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, these shoes are compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire. They fit true to size for most individuals seeking a standard UK 8 fit.
Care:
- Leather: Wipe the leather upper with a clean, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for brown leather.
- Crepe Sole: Crepe can be sensitive to certain chemicals and prolonged exposure to heat. Clean the sole gently with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners. To preserve the sole, store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using a protective spray designed for crepe or natural rubber, following product instructions carefully.
- General: Avoid excessive exposure to water. If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally, away from heat sources. Regular brushing can help maintain the texture of the crepe sole.
