FAQs

How do I clean the white rubber shell toe?

Use a soft brush and mild soap solution to gently scrub the shell toe. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry.

Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?

No, do not put these trainers in the washing machine. Machine washing can damage the leather, suede, and stitching. Always clean by hand.

What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?

You can wear any type of socks you prefer, but consider the weather and activity. For warm weather, breathable socks are ideal.

How do I protect the trainers from water damage?

Use a leather and suede protector spray before wearing the trainers, and reapply as needed. This will help repel water and prevent stains.

What if the stitching comes undone?

If the stitching comes undone, it's best to take them to a professional shoe repair service. Do not attempt to repair it yourself unless you have experience.

Where can I find replacement laces?

Replacement laces can be found online, at shoe stores, or directly from adidas or Y-3 retailers. Make sure to get the correct length.
