FAQs

Are the adidas FYW 98 trainers true to size?

Most users find the FYW 98 runs true to standard sizing; however, since it is a leather shoe, there is a short break-in period.

Can I use these for running?

While based on performance heritage, these are lifestyle trainers and are not recommended for long-distance running or high-impact athletic training.

How do I maintain the green and grey color scheme?

Clean each color section separately to avoid dye transfer, and store away from direct UV light to prevent fading.

Is the material waterproof?

No, the leather upper is not waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain or snow to maintain the integrity of the material.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The structure is relatively standard, but the chunky silhouette offers a wider footprint that many users with broader feet find comfortable.

Troubleshooting

Leather showing scuffs

Use a matching grey or neutral leather cream to buff out minor scuffs.

Loss of interior freshness

Remove the insoles to air them out and use odor-neutralizing powders or sprays specifically safe for footwear.

Laces becoming worn or frayed

Replace with standard athletic laces of an appropriate length for the eyelet count.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your adidas FYW 98 trainers remain in optimal condition, proper care is essential:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the leather surface. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with a mild leather-safe cleaner.
  2. Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or lose its shape.
  3. Protection: Consider applying a leather protectant spray to repel moisture and stains before the first wear.
  4. Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent discoloration of the grey and green accents.
