FAQs

Are these sneakers suitable for running or sports?

The Adidas Japan Decon sneakers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes, honoring an iconic '60s style. While they offer comfort and durability, they are not specifically engineered for high-performance running or intense athletic sports. For sports activities, we recommend footwear designed with appropriate support and cushioning.

How do I determine my correct size?

These sneakers are listed in UK sizing. We recommend checking the Adidas size chart for conversion if you are familiar with other sizing standards. Generally, Adidas sizes tend to be consistent, but if you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks. For the most accurate fit, measure your foot length and compare it to the size chart.

What kind of socks should I wear with these?

For optimal comfort and to protect the leather lining, we recommend wearing moisture-wicking or breathable cotton socks. This helps prevent sweat build-up and keeps your feet feeling fresh.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The leather upper provides some natural resistance to light moisture, but these sneakers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally and apply a leather conditioner to prevent drying and cracking.

How often should I clean and condition the leather?

Regular surface cleaning can be done as needed, typically once a week or after each significant wear. For conditioning, every 1-2 months, depending on wear frequency and environmental conditions, is a good general guideline to keep the leather supple and prevent drying.

Is the sole replaceable?

The rubber outsole is durably constructed and integrated with the shoe's design. It is not designed to be easily replaceable. With proper care, the outsole should last for the lifespan of the sneaker.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound from shoes

Check if the insole is rubbing against the shoe's interior; try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder under the insole. If it's the outsole, ensure it's clean and dry.

Leather looks dull or dry

Clean the leather thoroughly, then apply a good quality leather conditioner or cream. Buff gently with a soft cloth to restore shine and suppleness.

Laces frequently come undone

Ensure you are using a double knot. You can also try replacing the laces with ones that have more grip, or experiment with different lacing techniques.

Unpleasant odor

Remove insoles and allow shoes to air out. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.

Care

To maintain the luxurious feel and appearance of your leather sneakers:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth, following product instructions.
  2. Drying: Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
  3. Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
  4. Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains.
  5. Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to maintain their shape.
