FAQs

Are these sneakers true to size?

Generally, Adidas Originals Japan W sneakers are considered true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are unsure, referring to the Adidas size chart for women's footwear is always a good idea.

Can I wear these sneakers for sports or running?

While the Adidas Japan sneaker has athletic origins, this particular model is designed as a fashion trainer. It is optimized for style and casual comfort rather than high-performance sports, running, or intense workouts. We recommend dedicated athletic footwear for those activities.

How should I clean the leather upper of my sneakers?

For routine cleaning, gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner, applying it with a soft cloth. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally and avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemicals.

What materials are these sneakers made from?

The Adidas Originals Japan W Sneaker features a durable leather upper, a comfortable synthetic lining, an EVA midsole for cushioning and stability, and a robust rubber outsole for traction.

Do these sneakers offer good arch support?

The textured EVA midsole provides a degree of cushioning and stability suitable for general casual wear. While they offer standard support, individuals requiring significant arch support may consider adding aftermarket insoles for personalized comfort.

Is the purple color vibrant or subtle?

The purple colorway in this model is designed to be a notable, fashion-forward shade, complemented by white and silver metallic accents. It's vibrant enough to make a statement while remaining versatile for various outfits.

Troubleshooting

My sneakers are squeaking when I walk.

Squeaking can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior, or between parts of the sole. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then replacing the insole. If the squeak persists, it might be due to a loose bond in the sole, which may require professional assessment.

The leather upper has scuff marks or minor scratches.

For light scuffs, you can often buff them out with a soft, clean cloth. For deeper scratches or to restore shine, use a leather conditioner or a leather repair cream matching the shoe's color. Always test any cleaning or conditioning product on an inconspicuous area first.

My sneakers feel too tight or loose.

Ensure you are wearing the correct size socks. Adjust your lacing technique; for a tighter fit, pull laces firmly from the toe upwards. For a looser feel, try 'straight lacing' or skip eyelets. If the fit is consistently uncomfortable, consider insoles for additional cushioning or minor volume adjustment. Remember, leather can slightly stretch over time to conform to your foot.

The white EVA midsole is getting dirty easily.

Clean the EVA midsole regularly with a gentle cleaning solution (like mild soap and water) and a soft brush or an old toothbrush. For tougher stains, a magic eraser can be effective, but use it gently to avoid damaging the material. Regular cleaning prevents dirt from setting in.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather sneakers.

  1. Initial Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality leather protector spray. This helps repel water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner according according to the product instructions.
  3. Midsole and Outsole: Clean the EVA midsole and rubber outsole with a mild soap solution and a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt and grime.
  4. Drying: Always allow your sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
  5. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
  6. Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash these sneakers, as it can damage the leather and structural integrity.
  7. Lace Care: Laces can be hand-washed separately with mild detergent if they become dirty.
