adidas Originals Japan W Sneaker - Purple - Size UK 5

No, the Adidas Originals Japan W Sneaker features a super-slim flat sole and is designed primarily for fashion and casual wear. It does not provide the specialized support and cushioning required for high-performance athletic activities like running or intensive training.

These sneakers typically run true to size. We recommend selecting your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up for a more comfortable fit, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.

EVA stands for Ethylene-vinyl acetate, which is a lightweight, flexible, and shock-absorbing material commonly used in shoe midsoles. It provides cushioning and stability.

No, machine washing is not recommended, especially for leather sneakers. It can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Please follow the specific care instructions provided for cleaning the leather upper and other components.

The 'Japan' series revives an iconic design originally created by adidas for Olympic athletes. The gold 'adidas Japan' branding is a direct detail pulled from these historical archives, celebrating that heritage.

The leather upper provides some natural resistance to light moisture, but it is not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to water should be avoided. For added protection, you can use a leather protector spray.

Gently clean with a damp cloth, then apply a small amount of leather conditioner or polish designed for the specific leather type. Buff lightly with a soft cloth.

Adjust the lace closure. Ensure laces are evenly tightened across your foot. If persistently uncomfortable, check sizing against your usual shoe size, as fit can vary.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder or baking soda inside the shoe before replacing the insole.

Remove the laces and wash them separately by hand with a mild detergent and warm water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-threading.
