FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The adidas Japan Shoes are designed for casual wear and light athletic endeavors, such as walking. While comfortable, they are not engineered for high-impact running or intensive sports.

How do I determine my size?

These shoes follow standard UK sizing. We recommend checking adidas's official size guide for precise measurements or trying them on if possible to ensure the best fit.

What is the best way to clean the leather?

For best results, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap or a dedicated leather cleaner. Gently wipe the surface, then air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or submerging the shoes in water.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

While the leather offers some protection, the perforated holes are designed for breathability and are not waterproof. For heavy rain, we recommend waterproof footwear to keep your feet dry and protect the leather.

How often should I condition the leather?

To maintain the leather's suppleness and appearance, we recommend applying a good quality leather conditioner every few months, or more frequently if worn often or exposed to harsh conditions.

What kind of socks should I wear with these?

Due to the low-cut padded collar and breathable design, most athletic or casual socks work well. Cotton or moisture-wicking socks can enhance comfort during extended wear.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Wear them for short periods at first to break in the leather. The leather will soften and mold to your feet over time, improving comfort.

Leather appears dull or scuffed.

Clean the shoes with a damp cloth and a specialized leather cleaner. Apply a leather conditioner or polish to restore shine and protect the material.

Unpleasant odor from inside the shoes.

Remove insoles and air out the shoes in a well-ventilated area. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight to absorb odors.

Squeaking sound while walking.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the sole. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a little talcum powder inside the shoe, and then replacing the insole.

Laces frequently come untied.

Ensure you are using a secure lacing technique. A double knot can provide extra security. Consider replacing worn laces if they are too smooth to hold a knot effectively.

Care

To maintain the pristine condition and longevity of your adidas Japan Shoes, follow these care guidelines:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a small amount of mild leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear.
  • Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as extreme temperatures can damage the leather.
  • Conditioning: Periodically apply a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple, prevent cracking, and restore its natural luster.
  • Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
  • Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash these shoes, as it can severely damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure.
  • Refer to Product Label: Always consult the specific care instructions provided on the shoe's product label for detailed guidance.
