FAQs

Are these sneakers suitable for running or sports?

No, the Adidas Japan W Sneaker is primarily designed for casual wear and fashion. Its super-slim flat sole is not engineered to provide the necessary support, cushioning, or stability required for high-impact sports or running.

How do I determine my size?

Adidas sizing generally runs true to size. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit, especially given the 'super-slim' design. This specific product is UK 3.

Can I machine wash these sneakers?

No, machine washing is not recommended. The leather upper can be damaged by water submersion and harsh detergents. Follow the care instructions for spot cleaning.

What is the 'EVA Midsole'?

EVA stands for Ethylene-vinyl acetate, which is a lightweight, flexible, and cushioning material used in midsoles to provide shock absorption and comfort for everyday wear.

What kind of socks should I wear with these?

Due to the super-slim design, thinner socks or no-show socks are often best to maintain the sleek profile and comfortable fit, especially during the break-in period.

Troubleshooting

My sneakers feel a bit stiff at first.

Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the leather to mold to your feet. Use thin socks during this period if needed.

The leather upper has scuff marks.

For light scuffs, use a damp cloth to gently rub the area. For deeper marks, a specialized leather conditioner or polish in a matching color may help. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

The white EVA midsole is getting dirty.

Clean the EVA midsole using a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a solution of mild soap and water. You can also use sneaker cleaning wipes specifically designed for midsoles.

My feet feel tired after long walks.

While the EVA midsole provides comfort, the super-slim flat sole is not designed for extensive arch support or prolonged strenuous activities. Consider adding thin, supportive insoles if more arch support is needed for everyday wear.

Care Instructions

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

  1. Regular Cleaning:
  • For the leather upper: Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • For the rubber outsole and EVA midsole: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) with mild soap and water to clean away dirt and grime.
  1. Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), as heat can damage leather.
  2. Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially for the purple leather.
  3. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  4. Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge the sneakers in water.
  5. Spot Treatment: Address stains promptly to prevent them from setting.
