ADIDAS ORIGINALS Japan Shoes - Brown - Low Shoes - UK 3.5

While versatile for light athletic endeavors, these shoes are not specifically designed for high-performance running. They are better suited for casual wear, walking, or light gym activities due to their vintage design and low-cut padded collar.

These shoes are listed in UK adult sizing. It's recommended to consult the official adidas size guide, or measure your foot length and compare it to their size chart to ensure the best fit.

No, machine washing is not recommended. The leather upper and construction of these shoes require hand cleaning as outlined in the care instructions to prevent damage and maintain their shape and material integrity.

The upper of the adidas Originals Japan Shoes is made from premium leather, providing durability and a classic look.

These shoes feature a classic flat sole design typical of vintage reissues. While they provide standard cushioning for comfort, individuals requiring significant arch support may consider adding aftermarket insoles.

For optimal comfort and to complement the low-cut design, low-profile or 'no-show' socks are often preferred. Opt for moisture-wicking materials for athletic use to enhance the breathability provided by the shoe's perforations.

Clean the area with a soft, damp cloth. Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or polish appropriate for the leather type and color. Gently buff with a clean, dry cloth.

As the upper is made of leather, a slight break-in period may be required. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to mold to your foot. Ensure you have the correct size.

Ensure shoes are fully dry after each wear. Remove insoles if possible and air them out. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside and let sit overnight (then remove) to absorb odors. Wear moisture-wicking socks.

Gently clean the perforated areas with a small, soft brush (like a toothbrush) or a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be hindering breathability.
