FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the adidas Originals Japan series generally fits true to your standard UK shoe size.
Can I use these for running?
No, these are lifestyle shoes based on vintage designs and lack the necessary support and cushioning for running.
How do I clean the gold foil logos?
Avoid using harsh chemicals or scrubbing the gold foil directly, as this may cause the printing to fade.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
While leather provides some resistance, they are not waterproof and should not be worn in heavy rain.
Is the material real leather?
Yes, the uppers are constructed from premium leather.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe area
Use shoe trees when not wearing the shoes to help maintain their shape and minimize deep-set creases.
Leather surface appearing dull
Apply a small amount of leather polish or conditioner with a soft cloth to restore the original shine.

- High-quality leather construction ensures a sophisticated look
- Lightweight feel makes them suitable for all-day city walking

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas Originals Japan shoes remain in excellent condition:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Use a leather-safe cleaner for deep stains.
- Moisturizing: Apply a neutral leather conditioner occasionally to prevent cracking and maintain the polished appearance.
- Storage: Keep away from direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can warp the leather or cause the glue to degrade over time.
- Compatibility: These shoes feature a classic fit true to size; however, because they utilize leather construction, allow for a brief 'break-in' period as the material softens to your foot shape.
