FAQs
Are the adidas R71 shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the suede overlays and weaken the structural integrity of the shoe. Use hand-cleaning methods instead.
Can I use these for running?
The R71 is designed as a casual, everyday lifestyle shoe and does not contain the cushioning or support features required for running.
How do I protect the suede from stains?
Applying a water-repellent spray specifically designed for suede can help add a protective barrier against minor liquid spills.
Is the R71 true to size?
The R71 features a regular fit. It is generally recommended to order your standard shoe size.
Does the mesh upper provide enough warmth for winter?
The mesh is designed for breathability, meaning it does not offer insulation. These shoes are best suited for spring, summer, and autumn use.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede overlays
Use a dry suede-specific brush to gently lift dirt particles without damaging the fabric nap.
Creasing at the toe box
This is normal for textile and suede shoes; use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the original shape.
Laces coming untied frequently
Ensure the laces are tied with a secure double knot or check if the laces have become slick and require a light cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the R71 uses a combination of mesh and suede, care is essential to maintain the shoe's lifespan. Avoid wearing these shoes in wet or muddy conditions, as water can damage the suede texture and cause spotting. For cleaning, use a specialized soft-bristled brush to remove dirt from the suede sections; do not submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine. Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the materials. To ensure the best fit, ensure the lace closure is snug but not constricting, allowing for natural foot expansion throughout the day.
