Troubleshooting
The trainers feel too tight across the midfoot
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to be more relaxed. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for casual footwear.
The midsole feels slightly dirty after use
Use a damp cloth with a small amount of non-abrasive soap to wipe down the foam area, then wipe clean with water.
Creasing appears on the toe box
Creasing is a natural characteristic of flexible sneaker materials; using a shoe tree when not in use can help maintain the shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas Retropy E5 trainers maintain their condition, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These trainers follow standard UK sizing; ensure you measure your foot accurately before purchase as fit preferences can vary.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the upper materials. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals that could damage the fabric or color.
- Drying: Always air-dry your shoes at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as these can cause the materials to warp or degrade.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
