FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The FYW 98 is designed as a lifestyle/trainer shoe for casual wear. It lacks the technical features required for dedicated long-distance or high-impact running.
How do I determine my size?
The trainers follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your usual sneaker size for the best fit.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
While leather is naturally water-resistant, it is not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent water damage.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the leather, weaken adhesives, and ruin the shape of the trainers.
What does the FYW series stand for?
FYW stands for 'Feet You Wear', a signature adidas technology from the 90s designed to mimic the natural movement and shape of the foot.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface shows scuffs
Use a matching color leather conditioner or cream to buff out light scuffs and restore the finish.
Uncomfortable fit during long wear
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly to balance pressure across the instep and consider moisture-wicking socks to improve comfort.
Creasing in the leather toe box
This is a natural characteristic of leather footwear; use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the original shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers fit true to size for most adult users. To maintain the appearance and longevity of the leather upper, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt.
- Stain Removal: Use a specialized leather cleaner for stubborn marks; avoid harsh chemical detergents.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can cause the leather to crack.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup within the lining.
