The product must be defective in itself (due to manufacture or design fault) and not damaged due to inappropriate use. When returning a product after the 30 day standard returns period, a customer must provide full reasons for alleging that the product is defective, including stating how the product was utilised during the period that it was in the customer’s possession.

With a voucher, you're able to get a discount or other promotion when you purchase products through our online store. We have different activations, from % discounts per item or bundle deals when you get a discount on a second item. For every promotion, different conditions apply and are explained during ordering.
Here's how to claim your discount:
- Pick a product that's applicable for a voucher discount from our online store.
- Continue to your shopping bag. Click 'Enter promo code' under your order summary. A promo code can also be applied on the delivery page.
- A voucher field will appear. Type your voucher code into the field and hit 'Apply'.
When shopping in the adidas app, continue by clicking 'Payment or 'Shop Now' to see the promotion code field in the check out steps.
Keep in mind:
- The voucher is only valid for a limited time.
- The voucher may not be applicable to all products. Exclusive articles are excluded from promotions, which will be noted on the product's page.
- The voucher cannot be applied after you've placed an order. In this case you need to cancel the order within 15min and use the re-order button in your account to checkout again.
- The voucher cannot be combined with other promotions, offers or discounts. If more than one promotion or discount offer applies to your order, we'll use the one with the greatest discount.
- Shipping charges apply when the discount voucher makes the total amount drop below the threshold for free shipping.
You can find the Terms and Conditions related to voucher usage stated on the bottom of the email in which you received your voucher, or on the voucher.
Sometimes when you try to use a voucher code you can get a message saying it's either expired or not recognized. If it's expired, you won't be able to use it any more. If it's not recognized, you can follow these steps to get to the bottom of the problem.
First you need to make sure you are using the voucher correctly. Read the terms and conditions which can be found at the bottom of the email. Also make sure the voucher applies to at least one item in your bag, not all items are eligible for promo codes. Another potential issue is the voucher might be a retail voucher, these can't be used at online shops.
If none of these issues apply, make sure you've entered the voucher code exactly as it appears. It's easy to make mistakes if you enter the code manually. Some common mistakes are:
- Check spacing, character errors and/or spelling mistakes.
- The voucher code field is case-sensitive. Check that 'Caps Lock' button is not on and use upper case where necessary.
- Check you're not mixing up the numbers 0/1 and the letters O/I.
- It could also be possible that your voucher is only applicable on the adidas app and not our website. In such case, download it here and try again.
If you are sure your voucher is valid for your order but it still doesn't work, please contact us.
Promotions apply on a specific selection of our products. Certain articles may be excluded from promotions (e.g. the Yeezy collection or other hype articles). This is always highlighted on the article details page on both .com and in the app. If the code is valid and the wrong % is applied, please contact us and we will help find out what happened.
You can read the specific Terms and Conditions in the source of your voucher to make sure that your voucher applies to your order. The Terms and Conditions can be found at the bottom of the email you have received with your voucher, underneath the 'Store Locator' and 'Privacy Policy'. Or go to your partner site for the agreed terms which can vary per collaboration.
If your voucher isn't working on sales products, it's because it cannot be combined with other promotions, offers or discounts. If more than one promotion or discount offer applies to the order, we'll use the one with the greatest discount. Check the source of your voucher code for the voucher-specific Terms and Conditions. You can find the Terms and Conditions at the bottom of the email, below the Privacy Policy.
If sales products are excluded from your voucher, use your voucher on a regular-priced product instead.

A guide to cleaning and maintaining trainers
Running/walking/hiking can be tough on your shoes. They'll face the wear and tear of mud puddles, dirt roads and pavement. Some simple maintenance can get out grass stains and scuffs, and keep your shoes looking fresh, even when they're worn. Here is our guide to cleaning and maintaining your trainers.
Cleaning instructions
When the time comes to clean your shoes, follow these dos and don’ts.
Do:
- Remove excess dirt – Use a soft brush, like an old toothbrush, to wipe away surface dust, being careful not to further scuff the material.
- Mix up soap & water – Add eco-friendly laundry detergent to a little warm water, and use a washing cloth to rub gently onto superficial stains in the fabric.
- Rub off – Rinse the washing cloth in warm water, and apply to the same areas to remove the detergent.
- Dry the shoes – Dry your shoes at room temperature, adding paper towels or newspaper on the inside to soak up the liquid.
- Freshen Laces – Wash, or replace, your laces.
- Air your insoles – Remove the insoles of your shoes while cleaning to get rid of the smell. In case of intense odor, sprinkle on a small amount of baking soda.
Don’t:
- Put your shoes in the washing machine. This can discolor or damage the fabric.
- Place them close to a radiator or use external heaters. To guarantee retaining the shape of the sneaker you should dry them at room temperature.
- Use alternative cleaning products including chemicals and bleach.
- Use a hard brush, or scrub harshly. This can particularly damage weave or mesh materials used in models including Pure Boost and Ultra Boost.
Here are some additional tips to keep your shoes clean:
Storage
- To keep your shoes in top condition, make sure you don’t leave them outside. The sun can wear the outer and make white soles go yellow.
Spot clean
After your run/walk make sure to remove any stains as soon as possible. When leaving them for too long they will start to permeate into the fabric of your shoe, which can be damaging in the long-term.
When the washing is done, complete the final and most important step: take your shoes out for a stroll.
