FAQs

Are these suitable for running or sports?

The adidas Japan Trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer comfort for walking, they are not intended for high-impact sports or intense athletic activities.

How do I clean the metallic finish on the leather?

Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For a deeper clean or to address specific marks on the metallic finish, use a leather cleaner specifically formulated for metallic or patent leather. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Do the shoes run true to size?

Sizing can vary between brands and models. It is recommended to consult the adidas sizing chart and consider customer reviews for specific fit feedback regarding this model.

What material is the outsole made of?

The outsole is made of a durable, flexible rubber, designed to provide good traction and comfort for everyday wear.

Can I wash these trainers in a machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended for leather trainers as it can damage the material and affect the shoe's structure and finish.

What is the 'double-stitched T-toe' detail?

This is a classic design element from the original 1960s models, where the toe box area is reinforced with an additional layer of stitching in a T-shape, adding both durability and a distinctive visual feature.

What does 'City Series' refer to?

The 'City Series' is a collection of iconic adidas training shoes that were originally released in the 1960s and 70s, often named after major cities. The Japan model is part of this heritage line.

Troubleshooting

Leather scuffing or discoloration

Address immediately with appropriate leather cleaner. For metallic finishes, use products specifically designed for them. Minor scuffs may be buffed out gently.

Sole feels stiff

The rubber outsole is designed for flexibility. Wear them regularly for a short period; they will naturally soften with use and body heat.

Laces fraying

Replace laces with standard flat trainer laces. Ensure they are the correct length for the eyelets.

Interior feels uncomfortable

Ensure socks are worn. If discomfort persists, consider using a thin, cushioned insole, but be aware this may slightly alter the fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult women and are compatible with most casual wear styles. They are best suited for everyday activities and light walking.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Leather Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stubborn marks or the metallic finish, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for delicate or metallic leathers. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.
  2. Cleaning the Sole: A brush or damp cloth can be used to clean the rubber outsole. Ensure the sole is dry before wearing to maintain traction.
  3. Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent the leather from drying out or fading. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
