FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the R71 is designed for lifestyle and casual everyday wear, not for high-impact running or athletic performance.

How do I clean the mesh panels?

Gently scrub the mesh with a soft-bristled brush and a mixture of mild soap and water, then allow it to air dry.

Does the shoe run true to size?

The Adidas R71 generally fits true to size for standard UK sizing, though the leather upper may feel slightly snug initially.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the heat and moisture can damage the leather and the adhesives used in the construction.

What kind of socks should I wear?

Low-cut or no-show socks work best to maintain the clean, streamlined look of the low-cut silhouette.

Troubleshooting

The shoes feel too stiff initially

Wear them indoors for short periods to break in the leather upper and allow the material to mold to your foot shape.

Outsole loses grip due to debris

Use a soft brush to clear small stones or dirt trapped in the rippled tread pattern.

Creasing appearing on the leather

Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting the most out of your R71s starts with finding the right fit. Ensure you lace them snugly but not too tightly to allow for natural foot swelling throughout the day.

To care for your trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather sections with a damp cloth and mild soap. Use a soft brush to remove dust from the mesh areas.
  2. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or fading.
  3. Moisture: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper and let them air dry naturally. Avoid heat sources like radiators, which can damage the leather.
  4. Protection: Consider applying a leather protectant spray to repel water and stains, keeping the black finish looking sharp.
