Product Information

Full details

The Adidas Response CL 'Crystal White' trainers are for adults seeking a blend of early 2000s running shoe aesthetics with modern comfort and style. Their key benefit lies in the elegant "Crystal White" colorway that pairs breathable mesh with supportive suede and synthetic overlays. A potential caveat is that while inspired by running shoes, they are best suited for casual wear rather than high-performance athletic activities.

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The Adidas Response CL trainers are inspired by running shoe designs from the early 2000s and offer good comfort for everyday wear. However, they are not engineered with the advanced technology and support required for high-performance athletic running. They are best suited for casual use.

How do I determine my correct size?

This specific guide is for a UK size 10.5. It is recommended to consult a standard Adidas sizing chart and measure your foot length to ensure the best fit, as sizing can vary slightly between models.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

It is strongly advised not to machine wash Adidas Response CL trainers. The materials, especially suede and adhesives, can be damaged by the washing machine's cycle and heat. Hand washing using mild soap and water is the recommended cleaning method.

What is the purpose of the 'pro-moderator' text on the midsole?

The 'pro-moderator' technology mentioned on the midsole refers to a stability feature common in running shoes of that era, designed to help control pronation and provide a more stable stride.

How often should I clean my trainers?

The frequency of cleaning depends on usage. For daily wear, a quick wipe-down after use can prevent dirt buildup. A more thorough cleaning can be done as needed, typically when visible dirt or stains appear.

What does ADIWEAR and FORMOTION mean on the outsole?

ADIWEAR is an Adidas trademark for durable, non-marking rubber outsoles that offer excellent resistance to wear and tear in high-abrasion areas. FORMOTION is a technology that relates to the shoe's ability to adapt to the ground and support the foot's natural motion during movement.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe lining. Try removing the insole, cleaning both the insole and the inside of the shoe, and ensuring they are completely dry before reinserting. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might also help.

Discoloration on suede material

Use a specialized suede eraser to gently rub out light marks. For more stubborn stains, consider a suede cleaner, following the product's instructions carefully. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces become dirty or worn

Clean laces with mild soap and water, or replace them entirely. New laces can also refresh the look of the trainers.

Reduced cushioning over time

The EVA foam midsole will naturally compress over time with regular use. While this is normal wear, ensure the shoes are not excessively wet or exposed to extreme heat, which can accelerate material degradation. For significantly diminished cushioning, replacement may be considered.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Adidas Response CL trainers, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning the Upper:
  • For the mesh parts, use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and cool water solution to gently scrub away dirt. Avoid excessive soaking.
  • For suede overlays, use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt and dust. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used sparingly, followed by allowing to air dry completely.
  • Wipe synthetic leather and rubber parts with a damp cloth.
  1. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole:
  • Use a damp cloth or a soft brush with a mild cleaning solution to wipe down the EVA foam midsole and rubber outsole. Remove any debris from the outsole grooves.
  1. Drying:
  • Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  • Stuffing the shoes with paper towels or shoe trees can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
  1. Storage:
  • Store the trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe bag can help protect them from dust and prevent scuffing.
