FAQs

What material is the upper made from?

The upper of the adidas Japan shoes is crafted from premium 'Alumina' leather.

How do I clean the leather part of the shoes?

Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner specifically formulated for light-colored leather. Avoid soaking the shoes.

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

The adidas Japan shoes are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-performance sports or running activities.

Do these shoes come with arch support?

The shoes feature a soft EVA cushioned midsole for comfort. For specific arch support needs, you may consider adding personal insoles.

How should I store my adidas Japan shoes?

Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.

Is the sizing true to fit?

Adidas typically runs true to size, but we recommend consulting the official adidas size chart for the most accurate fit. Leather can also conform to your foot over time.

Troubleshooting

Leather upper shows scuffs or minor marks.

Gently clean the affected area with a soft, damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner. For deeper scuffs, a specialized leather conditioner or balm may help.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Proper sizing is also crucial for comfort.

Off-white rubber sole is dirty and hard to clean.

Use a soft brush or an old toothbrush with a mixture of mild soap and water to scrub the sole. For tough stains, a magic eraser or a dedicated sole cleaner can be effective.

Shoes develop an odor.

Ensure shoes are aired out after each wear. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts or a shoe deodorizer. Wearing socks made from breathable materials can also help prevent odor buildup.

Leather appears dull or dry.

Apply a good quality leather conditioner or moisturizer following the product's instructions. This will help nourish the leather and restore its natural luster.

Care Instructions

  • Cleaning the Leather Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner designed for 'Alumina' or light-colored leather. Gently wipe away dirt and scuffs. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the leather.
  • Protecting the Leather: Apply a leather protector spray periodically to help repel water and stains. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Cleaning the Sole: The off-white rubber sole can be cleaned with a soft brush or cloth and a mixture of mild soap and water. For stubborn marks, a sneaker cleaner specifically designed for rubber soles can be used.
  • Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can cause the leather to crack or stiffen.
  • Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape. Consider using shoe trees to help preserve the shape of the leather over time.
