FAQs
Are the adidas FYW 98 true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK adult sizing, though the wide-fit nature of the FYW design may feel slightly more spacious in the toe-box.
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather upper offers more protection than mesh, they are not fully waterproof and should be treated with a protectant for light rain.
Can I use these for running?
These are classified as lifestyle trainers. While durable, they lack the cushioning technology found in modern performance running shoes.
What does FYW stand for?
FYW stands for 'Feet You Wear', a signature adidas technology from the 90s focusing on natural foot movement and stability.
Is the leather upper genuine?
Yes, the product is constructed using leather materials to ensure quality and durability consistent with the series' heritage.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
Natural leather creasing is expected with wear. Use shoe trees when not wearing to maintain the shape and minimize deep wrinkles.
Difficulty keeping the shoes clean
Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for leather to create a protective barrier against debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas FYW 98 trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple maintenance steps:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging them in water.
- Leather Care: Use a leather-specific cleaner or conditioner occasionally to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading of the grey and green panels.
- Insoles: If you prefer custom orthotics, the stock insoles can generally be removed to accommodate your preferred inserts.
- Fit: These trainers are sized for adults; ensure you verify your UK sizing as the FYW series features a wider toe-box structure compared to slimmer adidas models.
