FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

The Adidas Paris Core are designed as lifestyle sneakers, not specialized athletic footwear. They offer comfort and grip for everyday wear but lack the specific support and cushioning for intense sports.

How do I clean the white leather?

Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild leather cleaner and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, it is not waterproof. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain to prevent damage to the leather and suede.

What is the difference between Paris Core and other Paris models?

The 'Paris Core' specifically refers to this iteration within the broader Paris line, often emphasizing the minimalist design and core colorways like white.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Generally, Adidas sneakers run true to size. However, it's always recommended to consult a size chart and consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly between individuals.

How should I store my Adidas Paris Core shoes?

Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Avoid direct sunlight or extreme heat.

What material is the outsole made of?

The outsole is made of gum rubber, known for its classic appearance and lightweight grip.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing excessively

Natural leather will crease with wear. To minimize deep creases, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Gum sole showing wear

Gum soles are designed for grip and comfort. For heavy-duty activities or abrasive surfaces, consider footwear specifically designed for those conditions.

Discoloration of suede

Protect suede from moisture and direct sunlight. Clean gently with a suede brush and avoid harsh cleaning agents.

Slight stiffness on first wear

Genuine leather often requires a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the leather to mold to your foot.
