FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, these are lifestyle fashion shoes and are not designed for long-distance running or high-impact athletic performance.

How do I determine the right fit?

These shoes follow standard UK sizing. We recommend checking your foot length against an official adidas size guide or trying them on with the type of socks you intend to wear.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, washing machine cycles will damage the leather upper and the adhesive bonding the sole, significantly reducing the lifespan of the shoes.

Are the materials sustainable?

The adidas Originals Japan line focuses on high-quality traditional materials like leather and rubber. Refer to the specific product tag for the most current information on recycled content.

What is the best way to deal with scuffs on the leather?

Use a leather conditioner or a mild cream polish that matches the black color of the shoe to buff out light scuffs and nourish the material.

Troubleshooting

Leather showing creases at the toe box

Use wooden or plastic shoe trees when not wearing the shoes to help retain their shape and minimize deep-set creases.

Gum outsole losing traction

Use a soft brush to remove small debris caught in the herringbone tread, then wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to restore grip.

Gold foil branding starting to peel

Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes near the branding; clean gently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth only.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your shoes remain in peak condition, follow these maintenance tips:

  1. Initial Protection: Apply a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray before first use to create a protective barrier.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after each use to remove dust or dirt. Do not submerge the shoes in water.
  3. Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the leather to crack and the gold foil branding to fade.
  4. Insoles: Remove and air out the insoles periodically to keep the interior fresh.
  5. Fit: This model is a standard UK size 9.5; ensure the fit is snug but comfortable to prevent premature creasing of the leather at the flex points.
