FAQs

Are these sneakers true to size?

Adidas sizing is generally consistent. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for these Adidas Japan sneakers. If you are unsure, referring to the official Adidas size chart is always a good idea.

Can I wear these in the rain?

While the leather offers some natural water resistance, these sneakers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided as it can damage the leather and affect the shoe's longevity. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.

How often should I clean the leather?

For best results, wipe down the leather after each use to remove surface dust and dirt. A more thorough cleaning and conditioning treatment should be done every few weeks or months, depending on how frequently you wear them and the conditions they are exposed to.

What type of socks should I wear with these?

Due to the textile lining and leather upper, most standard athletic or casual socks will be comfortable. Opt for breathable materials to help manage moisture, especially during warmer weather.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The Adidas Japan sneakers feature a low-profile design, which typically has a standard width. If you usually require wide-fit shoes, these might feel snug. It's recommended to try them on or consult user reviews for more specific fit insights.

Do they come with extra laces?

Info needed: Typically, standard Adidas sneakers do not come with extra laces unless specified. If you require new laces, replacements can usually be purchased separately from Adidas or shoe accessory retailers.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dull or dry.

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or moisturizer to restore its luster and suppleness. Ensure the sneakers are clean before conditioning.

Sneakers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations around the house initially to allow the leather to mold to your foot. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Sometimes the insole can rub against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder underneath, then replacing it. If the squeak persists, it might be due to the outsole, which usually resolves with more wear.

Stains or scuffs on the leather.

For light scuffs, a leather eraser or a small amount of leather polish in a matching color can help. For deeper stains, specialized leather stain removers or professional cleaning might be necessary.

Poor odor inside the shoe.

Ensure shoes are fully aired out after each wear. Consider using shoe deodorizers, cedar shoe trees, or sprinkling baking soda inside overnight to absorb odors. Always wear socks to prevent moisture buildup.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather Adidas Japan sneakers.

  1. Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently wipe down the leather upper with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove any surface dust or light dirt.
  2. Deep Cleaning (Leather): For more stubborn marks or accumulated grime, use a specialized leather cleaner. Apply it according to the product's instructions, typically with a soft brush or cloth, then wipe clean.
  3. Drying: Always allow your sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can cause the leather to dry out, crack, or warp.
  4. Conditioning: Periodically (e.g., once a month or as needed, depending on wear), apply a high-quality leather conditioner. This helps to keep the leather supple, prevents cracking, and restores its natural sheen.
  5. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and absorb moisture.
  6. Outsole Care: Clean the rubber outsole with a brush and mild soap solution to remove dirt and maintain effective traction.
