FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The T-Mac 5 generally follows standard adidas sizing. If you have a wider foot, you may find the snug performance fit to be quite tight initially.
Can I use these for outdoor basketball?
While durable, the outsole is optimized for indoor court surfaces. Using them on abrasive outdoor concrete may wear down the traction pattern faster.
What is the primary material used?
The T-Mac 5 features a mix of durable synthetic materials and leather components to balance support and structural longevity.
How do I maintain the shine of the silver colourway?
Keep the shoes clean and dry. Avoid harsh chemicals and store them in a protective bag when not in use.
Are these suitable for people with flat feet?
The shoe provides significant structural support, but if you require custom orthotics, ensure they can fit comfortably by removing the factory-provided insole.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of stiffness in the sole
The T-Mac 5 often requires a short break-in period. Wear them for light activity indoors to allow the materials to soften and adapt to your foot shape.
Excessive scuffing on the silver exterior
Use a specialized leather or synthetic-safe cleaner and a soft brush to gently remove surface marks without stripping the colour.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your adidas T-Mac 5 trainers, proper care is essential. Since these shoes are designed for performance, ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a snug, secure fit before every training session. For cleaning, wipe down the exterior surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove court dust or debris after use. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the internal adhesives and structural foam. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the silver and black materials from fading or cracking over time.
