FAQs

Are these trainers true to size?

The adidas Originals Tokyo trainers feature a 'narrow fit'. While generally consistent with standard UK sizing, individuals with wider feet might find them snug. We recommend trying them on or considering a half-size up if you prefer a looser fit or have wider feet.

How do I clean the suede upper?

To clean the suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a suede cleaning solution applied with a clean cloth is recommended. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.

Can I wear these for running or sports?

No, the adidas Originals Tokyo trainers are designed as a lifestyle and casual shoe. Their construction and materials are optimized for daily wear and style, not for the demands of running or performance sports.

What kind of lining do these trainers have?

These trainers feature a comfortable leather lining, which adds to their premium feel and comfort during wear.

Are these trainers suitable for all weather conditions?

The suede upper is not inherently waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the material. Applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede can offer some protection.

What is the sole made of?

The trainers are equipped with a durable and grippy rubber outsole, providing reliable traction for everyday use.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions.

Trainers feel too narrow or tight

The adidas Originals Tokyo features a narrow fit. Allow for a break-in period. If still uncomfortable, try wearing thinner socks or consider if a different size might be more suitable. These trainers might not be ideal for wider feet.

Stains on the suede material

For fresh stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For dried stains, use a suede eraser or a small amount of suede cleaner applied to a clean cloth. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the rubber outsole offers grip, it's designed for everyday use. Exercise caution on very wet or slippery surfaces, as these are not performance outdoor shoes with specialized anti-slip properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your adidas Originals Tokyo trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply unlace them, insert your foot, and tighten the lace closure to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. The narrow fit may feel snug initially; a short break-in period might be beneficial for optimal comfort.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for adults and are compatible with a wide range of casual attire. They pair well with jeans, shorts, casual trousers, and dresses, fitting seamlessly into a vintage-inspired or modern casual wardrobe. Their Core Black colorway with Ftw White accents makes them easy to match with various color palettes.

Care

Given the suede upper, proper care is essential to maintain the trainers' appearance and longevity:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Use a soft suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust after each wear.
  2. Spot Cleaning: For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner. Apply a small amount to a clean cloth and gently blot the stain. Do not rub vigorously, as this can damage the suede.
  3. Water Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray to create a barrier against water and stains. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  5. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help retain their shape.
  6. Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash suede trainers, as this can cause irreversible damage.
