Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?

These shoes are in UK sizing. It's generally recommended to choose your standard adidas size. If unsure, measure your foot and refer to an official adidas size chart.

Can I machine wash my adidas Originals Tokyo shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, suede, and overall construction of the shoes. Always follow manual cleaning instructions.

How can I protect the leather and suede from water and stains?

It is highly recommended to apply a water and stain protector spray specifically formulated for leather and suede before the first wear and reapply periodically.

Troubleshooting

Leather or suede looks dull/dirty.

For leather, wipe with a damp cloth or use a specialized leather cleaner. For suede, use a suede brush to lift dirt and restore the nap. Consider a protective spray.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations around the house initially, and ensure you're wearing appropriate socks.

Sole is losing its grip or looking worn.

While gum soles are durable, wear is natural. For better grip, ensure the soles are clean. If significant wear occurs, consider professional shoe repair, although full sole replacement may not always be practical.

Water stains on leather or suede.

For fresh water stains, gently blot with a clean, dry cloth. For dried stains on suede, try a suede eraser and brush. For leather, a damp cloth followed by air drying might help, or use a leather conditioner.

Creasing on the leather upper.

Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear. To minimize it, use shoe trees when storing and apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple.

Care Instructions

Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your leather and suede Tokyo sneakers.

  1. Initial Protection: Before first wear, apply a water and stain protector spray specifically designed for leather and suede to help repel dirt and moisture.
  2. Regular Cleaning (Leather): For the leather upper, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner following the product's instructions.
  3. Regular Cleaning (Suede): For the serrated suede tooling, use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher marks, a suede eraser can be effective.
  4. Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash or tumble dry your shoes, as this can damage the materials and construction.
  5. Drying: If your shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  6. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
