FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit according to standard UK size specifications.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the leather is durable, it is not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain to prevent water staining the leather.
How do I clean the gold foil branding?
Gently dab the area with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh brushes or chemicals over the gold foil as it may fade.
Are these suitable for gym workouts?
These are designed as lifestyle sneakers; they lack the lateral support and heavy cushioning needed for gym or cross-training activities.
Is the leather upper breathable?
The shoe includes subtle perforations to assist with airflow, though leather is naturally less breathable than mesh performance materials.
What is the inspiration behind this model?
The design is inspired by archival adidas shoes from the 1960s, specifically referencing traditional bowling shoe silhouettes.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or loses its shine
Apply a high-quality leather cream or polish suitable for black leather to restore the luster.
Creasing at the toe box
Use wooden or plastic shoe trees when storing the shoes to help maintain their original shape.
Laces becoming frayed or dirty
Remove the laces and soak them in mild soapy water, then let them air dry completely before re-lacing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Japan Low Shoes maintain their aesthetic, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after wear to remove surface dust.
- Leather Protection: Apply a leather-safe conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to avoid leather discoloration.
- Compatibility: These shoes fit standard UK sizing; however, since they are leather, allow for a brief 'break-in' period as the material molds to your foot shape.
