FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The adidas Originals Tokyo Shoes are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-impact sports like running. They do not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for athletic performance.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a soft suede brush to remove dust and light dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product instructions carefully. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.
What is the primary material of the shoe?
The primary material for the upper is soft suede, complemented by a durable rubber outsole.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions, as moisture can stain and damage the material. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally and brush the suede once dry.
What makes the design 'retro'?
The 'retro' aspect comes from the slim, low-profile silhouette and the use of suede, which are characteristic of classic trainer designs from past decades.
What is the benefit of the rubber outsole?
The rubber outsole provides excellent grip and durability, ensuring stable footing on various surfaces during everyday activities.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For stains, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner with a clean cloth, then brush once dry. Test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If the shoes are consistently too tight, consider if this is the correct size for your foot.
Rubber sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. While designed for grip, some highly polished or wet surfaces may naturally reduce traction.
Suede feels stiff after drying
Once completely dry, gently brush the suede with a suede brush to restore its texture and softness.
