Adidas Tokyo - Black - UK 3

The Adidas Tokyo is designed primarily as a casual lifestyle sneaker, drawing inspiration from 70s running style. While comfortable for everyday wear and light walking, it is not engineered for high-performance running or intense sports activities.

The Adidas Tokyo is generally considered true to size. We recommend referring to standard UK sizing. If you are unsure, you can measure your foot length and compare it to Adidas's official size chart. As this is a UK 3, it's a specific smaller adult size.

While the leather upper offers some natural resistance, these sneakers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided. For added protection, consider applying a leather-specific water repellent spray before wearing them in damp conditions.

Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation. Using shoe trees (especially cedar) can help maintain their shape, absorb moisture, and minimize odor. Keeping them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag can also protect them from dust.

The durable rubber sole of the Adidas Tokyo is designed to be long-lasting. However, it is not typically designed for easy replacement by the user. If the sole shows significant wear, professional shoe repair services might be able to re-sole them, though this varies depending on the extent of the damage.

For optimal comfort and to help wick away moisture, we recommend wearing breathable socks made from cotton or a performance blend. The choice of ankle, crew, or no-show socks depends on your personal style preference and the overall look you aim for with your outfit.

Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your feet. Using thick socks can also help accelerate this process. If discomfort persists, check your sizing and fit.

Clean the area gently with a soft, damp cloth. For dullness, apply a high-quality leather conditioner. For minor scuffs, a small amount of leather cream or polish in a matching color can help restore the finish. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Check the sole for embedded dirt or debris. Clean the tread thoroughly with a brush and warm soapy water, then rinse and air dry. If the sole appears significantly worn down, its grip naturally diminishes over time.

Remove the insoles (if removable) and air them out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and let it sit overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees to help keep them fresh.

Replace the laces with new ones of a similar length and style. This is a simple and inexpensive way to refresh the look and functionality of your sneakers.
