FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While versatile for light athletic endeavors, these shoes are not specifically designed for high-performance running. They are better suited for casual wear, walking, or light gym activities due to their vintage design and low-cut padded collar.
How do I determine my correct size?
These shoes are listed in UK adult sizing. It's recommended to consult the official adidas size guide, or measure your foot length and compare it to their size chart to ensure the best fit.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended. The leather upper and construction of these shoes require hand cleaning as outlined in the care instructions to prevent damage and maintain their shape and material integrity.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper of the adidas Originals Japan Shoes is made from premium leather, providing durability and a classic look.
Do these shoes offer good arch support?
These shoes feature a classic flat sole design typical of vintage reissues. While they provide standard cushioning for comfort, individuals requiring significant arch support may consider adding aftermarket insoles.
What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?
For optimal comfort and to complement the low-cut design, low-profile or 'no-show' socks are often preferred. Opt for moisture-wicking materials for athletic use to enhance the breathability provided by the shoe's perforations.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or scuffed.
Clean the area with a soft, damp cloth. Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or polish appropriate for the leather type and color. Gently buff with a clean, dry cloth.
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable initially.
As the upper is made of leather, a slight break-in period may be required. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to mold to your foot. Ensure you have the correct size.
Unpleasant odor develops inside the shoes.
Ensure shoes are fully dry after each wear. Remove insoles if possible and air them out. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside and let sit overnight (then remove) to absorb odors. Wear moisture-wicking socks.
Perforations seem clogged or less effective.
Gently clean the perforated areas with a small, soft brush (like a toothbrush) or a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be hindering breathability.

Care Instructions:
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your adidas Japan Shoes, follow these general care guidelines, always referring to the product label for specific instructions:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: For general cleaning, gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning or scuffs, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear. Apply sparingly and follow the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the leather.
- Protecting the Leather: Consider using a leather protector spray or cream to guard against water stains and everyday wear. This can help repel moisture and make future cleaning easier.
- Lining and Sole: The textile lining can be gently wiped clean. The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and maintain traction.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can cause the leather to crack or warp.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
