FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

These trainers are designed for casual wear and offer basic support. They are not recommended for high-impact sports like running, which require specialized athletic footwear.

How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by adidas or measure your foot from heel to toe and compare it with the UK sizing guide. A UK size 13.5 is provided in this listing.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the rubber outsole offers some protection, the leather upper is not waterproof. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain and treat the leather to improve water resistance.

How often should I condition the leather?

Condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if you wear the shoes often or in dry conditions, to keep the material supple.

What other colors are available for the Japan Trainers series?

The Japan Trainers series is available in various colorways, including Brown, Beige, Silver, and White, depending on the specific model and retailer.

Is the insole removable?

The removable nature of the insole can vary by specific model. For this particular model, it is generally not designed for easy removal, but check product details for specific iterations.

What does 'perforated for ventilation' mean?

Perforated means small holes have been punched into the material (in this case, likely the leather upper) to allow air to circulate, helping to keep your feet cooler and reduce moisture buildup.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to stretch and mold to your foot. Using thicker socks during wear can also help.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes be caused by friction within the shoe. Try inserting a dry insert or powdering the insole lightly.

Leather appears dry or cracked

Apply a leather conditioner or cream specifically designed for footwear to rehydrate the material and prevent further cracking.

Outsole losing grip

Clean the textured tread thoroughly with a brush to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be reducing grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape.
