What does 'pro-moderator' on the midsole mean?

'Pro-moderator' refers to a technology used in some adidas shoes from the early 2000s, designed to provide stability and control foot motion during running.

What is ADIWEAR?

Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight.

Loosen the laces and try them on again. If still uncomfortable, ensure you have the correct UK size. Consider trying a half-size larger if persistent tightness occurs.

Suede appears dirty or matted.

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product instructions carefully. Allow to air dry completely.

Soles feel slippery.

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. For new shoes, the outsole may require a brief 'break-in' period. If slipping persists on smooth surfaces, consider the environment of use.

Mesh shows discoloration.

Gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material or color.
