FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The adidas Originals Tobacco generally fits true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying both to determine the best fit.
How do I protect the suede from water?
It is highly recommended to apply a protective suede spray before your first wear. Reapply periodically, especially after cleaning or exposure to moisture, to maintain water and stain resistance.
Can I wear these for sports?
While durable, the adidas Originals Tobacco is designed as a casual lifestyle sneaker, not for high-performance sports or intense physical activities. Its flat midsole offers less support than dedicated athletic footwear.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper features rich suede for the main body of the shoe, complemented by buttery leather on the iconic 3-Stripes and heel badge, providing a luxurious and distinctive look.
How often should I clean them?
Cleaning frequency depends on usage. For light dirt, brush off as needed. For deeper cleaning or to maintain protection, clean and re-protect every few months or as visibly dirty to preserve the materials.
Is this model available in other colors or materials?
Yes, the Tobacco series often features various colorways and sometimes different upper materials like full leather or full suede, depending on the specific release. This particular variant is Collegiate Green/Mineral Green with a suede and leather mix.
What makes the Tobacco a 'cult classic'?
The Tobacco gained cult classic status due to its distinctive, clean design and casual appeal when it first launched in 1972. Its timeless aesthetic, comfortable fit, and authentic adidas heritage have secured its place as a beloved retro sneaker for enthusiasts globally.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For dirt, use a suede eraser before brushing. For stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner according to product instructions.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. The leather and suede materials may soften slightly with wear, but if they are significantly uncomfortable, consider trying a half size up. Ensure socks are not too thick.
Stains on leather accents
Wipe immediately with a damp, soft cloth. For dried stains, use a mild leather cleaner designed for finished leather, applying sparingly to the affected area.
Shoes squeak when walking
This can sometimes be caused by the insole rubbing against the sole. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or applying a small amount of talcum powder underneath it to reduce friction. Ensure socks are not causing the noise.
