FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
These trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear, not for high-impact sports. They offer comfort for everyday activities but lack the specialized support and cushioning required for athletic performance.
How do I know if I have the right size?
It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the adidas sizing chart. Trying them on in-store if possible is the best way to ensure a correct fit, considering the potential break-in period for leather.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, especially the leather, and compromise the structural integrity of the shoe.
How long does the break-in period typically last?
The break-in period varies per individual, but for most, it takes a few wears of a few hours each to soften the leather and achieve a comfortable fit.
Are the gold metallic accents prone to wear and tear?
The gold metallic accents are designed for aesthetic appeal. While generally durable, excessive rubbing or abrasion could potentially lead to wear over time. Normal wear and tear is expected.
What type of socks are best to wear with these trainers?
For comfort and to aid in the break-in process, breathable cotton or athletic blend socks are recommended. Thicker socks can help achieve a snugger fit if needed.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels too tight or loose.
Leather trainers often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially. If still uncomfortable, consider using thicker socks or insoles for a tighter fit, or consult the size guide for alternative sizes if excessively large or small.
Scuff marks on the rubber toe cap.
Minor scuffs can often be removed with a magic eraser or a mild cleaning solution and a soft cloth. For deeper marks, professional shoe cleaning services may be an option.
Discoloration of the white leather.
Clean regularly with a damp cloth. For yellowing, ensure they are not exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods and use a leather-specific cleaner designed for white footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: To maintain the pristine look of the Ftw White and Gold Metallic colourway, regular cleaning is recommended. Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt, followed by a slightly damp cloth for surface marks. For stubborn stains on the leather, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the leather and synthetic materials.
- Drying: If trainers become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and damage.
