FAQs

Are these sneakers suitable for all-weather wear?

The leather upper and perforated design make these best suited for dry conditions. While some protection can be applied, they are not designed to be fully waterproof. Avoid heavy rain to protect the leather.

How do I choose the right size?

These sneakers are offered in standard UK sizing. We recommend checking Adidas' official size chart for an accurate fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying both or consulting customer reviews for specific fit advice.

Can I use these for sports activities?

The Adidas Japan sneakers are primarily designed as a fashion and casual lifestyle shoe. While comfortable for light walking, they are not engineered for high-performance sports or intense physical activity.

What is the best way to clean the white rubber outsole?

For the rubber outsole, a soft brush with mild soap and water, or a specialized shoe cleaner, works best. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be effective.

Is the leather genuine?

Yes, the product description states a 'leather upper,' indicating genuine leather is used for the main exterior of the shoe.

Will the perforations affect durability or water resistance?

The perforations add breathability and style but can reduce water resistance compared to a solid leather upper. Durability is maintained by the quality of the leather itself. Regular care, including protective sprays, is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dull or dry

Clean the leather thoroughly with a damp cloth, then apply a suitable leather conditioner following the product's instructions to restore moisture and shine.

Creases forming in the leather

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, use shoe trees when storing and regularly condition the leather to keep it supple.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or sprinkle a small amount of baby powder underneath it.

Laces constantly coming untied

Ensure you are using a double knot or a 'surgeon's knot' for added security. Over time, laces can wear, and replacing them might be necessary.

Care Instructions

Given the leather upper, proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your Adidas Japan sneakers:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather with a soft, damp cloth after each use to remove surface dirt and dust.
  2. Deep Cleaning: For tougher spots, use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft brush. Follow the product instructions carefully.
  3. Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few weeks or months, depending on wear, to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
  4. Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially on the perforated areas.
  5. Drying: If they get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  6. Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
