Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on mesh upper
Gently wipe with a damp, lint-free cloth. Do not machine wash as this may damage the suede.
Suede appears matted or dusty
Use a specialized suede brush or a clean, dry toothbrush to gently brush the nap back into position.
Laces becoming loose during the day
Ensure you are using a secure double knot if you have a high-motion day, or replace the laces if they have lost their original tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas R71 shoes remain in top condition, follow these simple guidelines:
- Fit: The shoes feature a regular fit. Ensure you verify your size using the UK adult sizing chart for the most accurate feel.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede overlays. For the mesh portions, gently dab with a damp cloth and a mild detergent if needed; avoid saturating the shoes with water.
- Protection: Apply a suede-safe water repellent spray to protect the overlays from staining.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the colours from fading over time.
