FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

These trainers are designed for casual wear and fashion. While they offer comfort for walking, they are not optimized for high-impact sports or athletic performance that requires specialized support and cushioning.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a leather cleaner and follow up with a leather conditioner to keep the material supple.

What is the primary material of the shoe?

The upper of the adidas Japan W Trainers is made from leather.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and construction of the shoe. Hand cleaning methods are advised.

How should I store my trainers when not in use?

Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using the original box or a shoe bag can help protect them from dust and maintain their shape.

What does 'double-stitched T-toe' mean?

This refers to a specific construction detail on the toe box of the shoe, where two rows of stitching are used to create a 'T' shape. It adds durability and a distinctive design element.

Will these trainers stretch over time?

Yes, natural leather can stretch and mold to your foot's shape over time, providing a more personalized and comfortable fit with regular wear.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear them for short periods initially, allowing the leather to naturally mold to your foot. Laces can be adjusted for a more relaxed fit.

Leather shows creases or scuffs

Minor creases are natural with leather. For scuffs, try a matching color shoe polish or a specialized leather repair kit. Consistent conditioning can help minimize creasing.

Slight discoloration on gold accents

Wipe gently with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish.

Outsole feels slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the outsole is clean and dry. For new shoes, a brief period of wear can help break in the sole. If the issue persists on specific smooth surfaces, consider a light scuffing of the sole or using an anti-slip spray designed for footwear.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Leather Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by a conditioning product to maintain the leather's suppleness.
  • Suede/Nubuck (if applicable to specific colorways): Use a suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. Avoid water.
  • Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth or a mild soap and water solution. Ensure it is dried thoroughly.
  • Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand or in a laundry bag. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
  • Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and damage.
