FAQs

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is made from 100% Cotton Canvas.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The product description does not specify width accommodation. It is recommended to consult sizing charts and customer reviews for fit information.

Can I machine wash these sneakers?

It is not recommended to machine wash these sneakers, as it can damage the vulcanized construction and materials. Hand washing with a damp cloth is advised.

What voltage do these sneakers operate on?

These sneakers are designed for Japanese voltage specifications, which are 90-110V. A voltage transformer is required for use in regions with different voltage standards.

Do I need a voltage transformer or just a plug adapter for use outside Japan?

A voltage transformer is required if your region's voltage differs from 90-110V. A plug adapter only changes the plug shape and does not adjust voltage, which is crucial for preventing damage.

What is the benefit of vulcanized canvas?

Vulcanized canvas construction is a traditional method that enhances the durability and flexibility of the shoe, providing a comfortable and long-lasting fit.

Where are these Moonstar sneakers made?

These Moonstar Hi Basket sneakers are made in Japan.

Troubleshooting

Product malfunctions or stops working.

Ensure the product is connected to a power source with the correct voltage (90-110V) via a compatible voltage transformer if required for your region. Check all connections and the transformer itself.

Poor grip or slipping.

Clean the natural rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris that may be affecting traction. Ensure the surface you are walking on is not excessively wet or oily.

Canvas appears discolored or stained.

Gently spot clean the affected area with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and allow to air dry. For persistent stains, consult specific canvas cleaning guides.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup and Compatibility:

This product is designed for Japanese voltage specifications (90-110V) and uses a Japanese plug type (A or B). If you intend to use these sneakers in a region with different voltage standards (e.g., 220-240V), it is essential to use a compatible voltage transformer. A simple plug adapter is insufficient as it only changes the physical shape of the plug and does not alter the voltage. Operating the product without a transformer in a region with incompatible voltage may lead to malfunction or damage, for which the manufacturer is not responsible.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Canvas: Gently wipe the canvas upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Drying: Allow the sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat or sunlight, as this can damage the canvas and rubber.
  • Rubber Components: Clean the rubber toe cap, guard, and outsole with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a rubber eraser can be effective.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
