FAQs

How do I determine my size?

The Adidas Japan Decon sneakers are typically true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, it is often best to go up half a size for comfort, especially with leather shoes.

Can I wear these sneakers in rainy weather?

While the leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, these sneakers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided to protect the leather and maintain the shoe's longevity. Consider a protective spray for enhanced water resistance.

What is the 'deconstructed' style?

The 'deconstructed' style refers to a design approach that simplifies or subtly alters traditional shoe elements, often showcasing raw edges, minimal stitching, or unique paneling. In these sneakers, it's reflected in details like the folded edge eyestay, offering a refined, minimalist take on a classic silhouette.

Do these shoes offer good arch support?

The Adidas Japan Decon sneakers feature a soft EVA cushioned midsole that provides general comfort and some cushioning. For individuals requiring specific arch support due to foot conditions, custom insoles may be added, provided they fit comfortably within the shoe.

How often should I clean my leather sneakers?

The frequency depends on usage and exposure to dirt. For regular wear, a quick wipe-down with a damp cloth every week or two is recommended. A deeper clean and conditioning can be done monthly or as needed to keep the leather supple and looking its best.

Are these sneakers suitable for running or sports?

No, the Adidas Japan Decon sneakers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes, not for running, athletic training, or high-impact sports. Their construction prioritizes style and everyday comfort over athletic performance.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is crafted from smooth leather, complemented by suede panels, giving the sneakers a premium look and feel.

Is the sole non-slip?

The rubber outsole is designed to provide reliable traction on typical urban and indoor surfaces. While it offers good grip, no sole is entirely 'non-slip' in all conditions, especially on very wet or icy surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dull or scuffed

Gently clean with a soft, damp cloth. Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or polish designed for the specific leather type. For minor scuffs, a leather cream or balm can be used and buffed gently.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes be caused by friction between parts of the shoe or the insole. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe. Reinsert the insole. If the sound persists, it might be due to the outsole; a cobbler can often address this.

Laces frequently come undone

Ensure you are using a secure knot (e.g., a double knot or surgeon's knot). If the laces are very smooth, consider replacing them with laces that have more texture for better grip.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Leather shoes can take some time to break in. Wear them for short periods initially. If they remain tight, consider using a shoe stretcher or taking them to a professional cobbler for stretching. Always ensure you have the correct size.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: For the leather upper, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  2. Suede Panels: For suede areas, use a soft-bristled brush (like a suede brush) to gently remove dirt and restore the nap.
  3. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
  4. Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to help guard against water and stains.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to maintain their shape.
