FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the R71 is designed as a casual lifestyle trainer and lacks the specialized impact cushioning required for distance running.

How do I determine my size?

The R71 uses standard UK sizing. We recommend checking your current adidas footwear size as a reference point for the best fit.

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, machine washing can damage the leather components and adhesive bonds. Spot cleaning is recommended.

What materials are used in the upper?

The upper combines durable leather overlays with breathable mesh panels for a mix of support and ventilation.

Are they water-resistant?

While the leather offers some protection, the breathable mesh upper is not waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain or puddles.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, you can swap the factory insoles for custom orthotics if you require specific arch support.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight initially

Loosen the laces to relieve pressure and allow the leather and mesh to naturally flex during your first few wears.

Scuff marks on leather

Use a specialized leather cleaner or a slightly damp microfiber cloth to gently buff out surface scuffs.

Reduced traction

Check the rubber outsole for trapped debris or pebbles in the tread patterns and remove them with a brush.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Classic 1970s archival aesthetic
  • Breathable mesh and leather construction
  • Stable fit with supportive overlays
  • Durable rubber outsole for traction

Cons

  • Requires regular cleaning to maintain leather appearance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your R71 Low Shoes, follow these guidelines:

  • Setup: These shoes feature a standard lace closure. Ensure the laces are tightened to your comfort level to engage the supportive overlays properly.
  • Compatibility: They pair best with casual attire, including jeans, chinos, or athletic joggers. They are designed for standard adult foot sizes.
  • Care: Wipe the leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth regularly. For the mesh portions, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the material integrity.
