Can I put these in the washing machine?

Do these run true to size?

The Japan S generally follows standard sizing, though individual fit may vary. It is recommended to order your usual UK size.

Are these shoes unisex?

While some models are gender-specific, the style and design are universal, and they can be worn by anyone who finds the correct size.

What materials are used for the lining?

The lining and cushioning are made from 100% polyester to provide comfort and breathability.

Troubleshooting

Consider using a double knot or replacing the laces with a slightly textured flat lace for more friction.

Creasing at the toe box

This is normal for sneaker construction; use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the original shape.
