SizingUpdated 5th October 2022

The Adidas Retropy E5 Boost is a 1970s running-inspired trainer made of different premium materials which are easy to style with any look with a heel-to-toe boost midsole.

What is Adidas energy boost midsole?

Adidas Boost is a blend of small visible pellet balls which are squashed and put together into a foam. They store and free endless energy every time your foot hits the ground for mega comfort.

How does the Retropy E5 Boost fit?

The Retropy E5 Boost Trainer fits true to size and is more suited for narrow feet. If you have narrow feet this is the perfect sneaker, go for your normal size.

Reason To Cop:	Annoying Things:
The toe area is roomy.	Stiff material on the dimple tongue may cut into the ankle.
Under £100.	Support and feel may not last due to the soft materials.
Super squishy, comfier than ultraboost for everyday use: feels nice.	Only really look good if you have narrow feet.
Nice arch support.	The tongue could be a bit squeaky when walking, not a major issue.

To make sure the Retropy E5 Boost fits, the widest width of your foot needs to fit inside the shoe without being too tight. Going up a size will cause heel slippage.

Losen laces if the shoes become tight.
Remove an insole for the slightly larger foot.

Which socks to wear with the Retropy E5 Boost shoe?

Recommend wearing thick crew or mid-ankle sports socks, as the dimple tongue design may cut into your skin.

Can you wear Retropy E5 for running?

No, wouldn’t advise you this there are better running shoes on the market. The Retropy E5 Boost Trainer is a soft 70s running culture-inspired everyday shoe. It’s made for low-impact activities like walking.

Is the Retropy E5 Boost good for wide feet?

Better suited for narrow feet but the lightweight material on the upper flexs so could get away with it.
The ball of the feet should sit comfortably at the widest part of the shoe without sticking out too much.
Sneakers should feel comfortable on the foot not tight or loose.
For tight fit, go one size down.
For a loose fit, go one size up.

Editors Thoughts:

Some firmness in the boost midsole for stability and foot massage feeling, feel connected to the ground.
Adidas claims it’s suede, but feels more like nubuck tbh. It’s mad soft but deforms pretty quickly. The sole goes really thin at the from so it feels like your foot is sliding down a slope.
Retropy E5 reminds me of the New Balance 327. Chunky, versatile, and super comfortable.

Editors Thoughts:

I hope Adidas takes advantage of the wave TPU cage on the upper and hooks us up with more crazy colourways.
At this point, all the sneakers by Adidas seem to be Kanye West inspired, which isn’t bad I guess.
The Adidas Ozrah has more of a streetwear vibe and less push on performance and technology like the Adidas Ultraboost.

The Amazing Power of Pink Stuff Cleaner on Dirty Shoes

Clean TrainersUpdated 20th November 2023

Quick Scroll

Can I use the pink stuff cleaner on White Trainers?

Yes, you can. White trainers usually feature raw material of latex rubber, which is moulded into a shape to create an outsole and a white synthetic leather upper. When the pink stuff cleaner paste is mixed with water, it breaks down stains to whitten the trainers.

Pink Stuff Paste For Trainers

£5.90

The Pink Stuff cleaner is a great way to clean your trainers. It uses all-natural ingredients and is environmentally non-toxic. The Pink Stuff comes in a tub and is easy to use and apply to trainers. It works best on leather or synthetic leather trainers. All you will need is a soft bristle brush…

Pink stuff cleaner is great for removing stains from shoes and cleaning other items in your home.

If you’re a sneakerhead, you might also want to use it to clean your sneaker display case. If you don’t have one yet, we have some awesome suggestions in our article about 27 cool sneakerhead gifts.

Air Force 1

The Low Nike Air Force 1 is the most popular sneaker constructed of synthetic leather, which will stretch and lose colour over time. Cleaning the trainers using pink stuff paste is fine as it will break down stains and mud that appear on the surface.

White Vans

White Vans are usually designed with a canvas fabric or leather upper. Using the pink stuff stain remover is fine as long as correct cleaning guidance is followed.

Converse Trainers

Pink stuff can be used to clean converse with tough surface stains as the product is soluble in water.

Leather Shoes

Pink stuff paste is an all-purpose cleaner that quickly and efficiently removes the most stubborn stains on leather shoes. Small test amounts should be used to being to see how the leather shoe’s surface reacts with the paste.

Black Trainers

Black trainers come in a variety of materials. Black leather trainers are normally made of nonwoven fabric and polyurethane resin; therefore, they can resist all stains and spills and are easy to clean using pink stuff paste in the event of soiling.

How do you use pink stuff on shoes?

Apply gently on a dampened cloth, medium bristle brush, or sponge and rub the surface of the shoes and rinse well with clean water. If necessary, polish with a clean, dry cloth.

Does the pink stuff get rid of yellow stains on shoes?

The simple answer is Yes!

Stains on shoes usually consist of starchy carbohydrate elements, protein, oil, dyes, and pigments such as red wine and lipstick. The majority of stains contain a mixture of these components.

Stubborn protein-based stains, i.e. blood on your trainers, are broken down by the pink stuff cleaning paste when mixed with water. This speeds up the chemical processes, removing them from the surface of shoes with minimal effort.

Does the Pink Stuff clean white shoes?

Yes, immediately clean using the cleaning paste after getting dirty, as this gives little chance for stains to set into fabric or synthetic leather as they will be difficult to remove.

Be careful not to over-clean white trainers as eventually they will get worn down. I recommend rotating. Check out the latest trainers at the UK and European retailers.

Is the pink stuff cleaner toxic?

No! No known reactivity hazards, stability concerns, conditions likely to result in a hazardous situation, or hazardous decomposition products linked with the pink stuff paste when cleaning shoes.

Does the pink stuff cleaner have chemicals in it?

The pink stuff cleaning paste is a degreasing agent that has a mild detergent odour. It contains a blend of quartz, soap, sodium carbonate (baking soda), and sodium percarbonate to de-stain, deodorize, and whiten stained shoes.

Is the pink stuff toxic to humans?

May intensify fire; oxidiser.
Harmful if swallowed.
Causes skin irritation.
Causes serious eye damage.
Causes serious eye irritation.
It may cause allergy or asthma symptoms or breathing difficulties if inhaled.
May cause respiratory irritation.

How long to leave pink stuff cleaner on shoes

Rinse immediately after gently applying and scrubbing the surface of the shoes. After scrubbing and lifting stains, leave for 2-3 minutes to allow the cleaning paste to break down the stains, and then rinse using a damp microfibre cloth until clear.

The Nike trainer is made up of 13 different portions which can feature high-quality:

Synthetic Fiber
Premium Leather
Mesh
Recycled Material and Nike grind (scraps)
Nubuck
Premium Suede
Rubber

How long do Nike Air Force Ones last?

Sneakers worn casually for everyday use without using them for exercising expect 1-3 years of wear. Based on personal experience I have had some pairs for as long as 4 years and they are still in good condition.

Over the last 4 years I have placed my shoes in freezer bags (keeps dust away) and inserting shoe trees inside (maintain shape) will help to keep them fresh. According to research, unused sneakers can typically last for 2-3 years.

The White Nike Air Force 1 is the most popular sneaker constructed of synthetic leather which will stretch and lose colour over time. Due to changes in feet structure as your tendons and ligaments become elastic and feet flatten this changes the shape of the sneaker.

The majority of Nike trainers are designed with a shock-absorbing rubber sole to reduce the impact on your heel. Secondly, industrial glue is used to hold the upper and sole together using the following manufacturing process. Finally, precise stitching ensures the sneaker keeps its shape.

What to do if you have two different size feet?

Having different-sized feet is common and if the difference in size is small you should go up half a size when copping the Low Nike Air Force 1.

The best option would be this pair of Nike Air Force 1 with adjustable velcro.

Wear thinner or thicker socks depending on the difference in size.
Losen laces if the shoes become tight.
Remove an insole for the slightly larger foot.
Buy shoes with adjustable features.
Wear sandals or sliders.

Can I wear socks with sneakers?

Depending on the activity you’ll be doing while wearing the Low Nike Air Force 1 we recommend wearing crew socks, they cover the mid to upper calf.

Crew socks come in a range of sizes, make sure they are the right size so that they don’t fall down as a result of being too wide.

Socks usually leave marks on your skin when the elastic is too tight, this cuts blood circulations and becomes quite uncomfortable as the day goes on.

Some crew socks are thick and designed with cushioning this will minimise heel slippage and help your Low Nike Air Force 1 to fit better.

Are sneakers supposed to fit tight?

The ball of the feet should sit comfortably at the widest part of the shoe (shoe box).
Toes should not be touching the end of the shoe.
The heel should not be slipping.

What can sneakers be used for?

The boys Nike Air Force 1 is an athleisure sneaker intended for low-impact activities such as walking, tai chi, dancing, or shopping (ahaha) had to throw that one in.

As you rock your Low Nike Air Force 1 for daily activities such as walking arch height is reduced and can potentially cause an increase in the length or width of the feet.
