FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
No, the Adidas Japan Decon are lifestyle sneakers designed for casual wear and style, not for athletic performance or running. Their construction prioritizes classic aesthetics and everyday comfort over specialized sports features.
How do I determine the correct size?
These shoes are in UK sizing. It's recommended to refer to Adidas' official sizing chart, and if possible, try them on. As a general rule, if you are between sizes, consider ordering the larger size, especially with leather which may feel snug initially.
Is the leather waterproof?
The smooth leather upper is not inherently waterproof. It offers some resistance to light moisture, but prolonged exposure to water should be avoided. For enhanced water resistance, you can apply a leather protector spray specifically designed for footwear.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended for leather sneakers. It can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Always follow the manual cleaning instructions provided in the care section.
What kind of socks should I wear with these?
For optimal comfort and to help with moisture wicking, wear breathable socks. Cotton or wool blend socks are good choices, depending on the climate. The leather lining will also contribute to comfort.
How do I prevent creasing in the leather?
While some natural creasing is inevitable with leather, you can minimize it by using shoe trees when not wearing them, and by ensuring a proper fit to avoid excessive bending at unnatural points during wear. Avoid consistently bending your foot in extreme ways.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears stiff or uncomfortable
This is common with new leather. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to naturally break in and conform to your foot. A leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Squeaking sound when walking
Often caused by friction between parts of the shoe or the insole. Try removing the insole and applying a thin layer of baby powder or cornstarch underneath it. Ensure laces are tied securely to minimize movement.
Scuffs or minor scratches on the leather
For light scuffs, use a soft cloth to gently buff the area. A small amount of matching leather polish or conditioner can help blend them in. For deeper scratches, professional leather repair may be needed.
Reduced traction on the outsole
Inspect the rubber outsole for embedded debris or excessive dirt. Clean the outsole thoroughly with a brush and mild soap and water. If the tread is worn smooth, it might indicate significant wear.
