FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by vintage runners, the Retropy E5 is designed for lifestyle and casual wear rather than intense athletic training or distance running.
How do I determine my size?
These trainers typically fit true to size based on standard adidas sizing. We recommend checking your existing adidas footwear for your current size reference.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you wish to swap them for custom orthotics.
What is the best way to clean the grey fabric?
Use a soft brush for dry dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains. Avoid soaking the shoes.
Are these suitable for all weather?
They are best suited for dry conditions. The materials are not waterproof and may absorb water in heavy rain.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
They provide standard support appropriate for casual walking. If you require high-intensity arch support, you may consider adding a specialized aftermarket insole.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during activity
Use a double knot or replace with slightly textured athletic laces to increase friction.
Inner lining feeling damp after long wear
Remove the insoles after use to allow the shoe to air out properly, or use a cedar shoe tree to absorb moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your standard adidas size. When first breaking in the trainers, wear them with mid-weight socks to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape. To keep the grey fabric clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or mud. For spot cleaning, apply a mild detergent diluted with water to a cloth and gently wipe the affected areas. Avoid putting these trainers through a washing machine as this can compromise the adhesive and structural integrity. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
