FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Adidas Japan Trainers are designed for casual wear and comfort, not for high-performance running. While the EVA midsole provides cushioning, they lack the specialized support and technology required for running.
How do I determine my size?
These trainers are sized according to UK adult sizing. It is recommended to try them on for the best fit, or refer to Adidas' official size chart if purchasing online. The model specified here is UK 4.
Can I wear them in the rain?
While the leather offers some resistance to light moisture, these trainers are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided to protect the leather and suede materials.
What is EVA cushioning?
EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) is a soft, flexible, and lightweight material used in midsoles to provide excellent cushioning and shock absorption, contributing to comfort and bounce in each step.
How often should I clean them?
Cleaning frequency depends on usage. For regular wear, a quick wipe down of the leather after each use and a more thorough cleaning of both leather and suede every few weeks will help maintain their appearance.
Do they come in other colours?
Info needed: Please check the product listing for availability of other colour options in the Adidas Japan series.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
Info needed: Footwear fit can vary. While Adidas trainers typically offer a standard fit, specific details on width for the Japan series would require checking product specifications or customer reviews.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush in one direction to lift dirt and restore the nap. For stubborn stains, a suede eraser can be effective.
Leather appears dull or scuffed
Clean the leather surface with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild leather cleaner. Follow up with a leather conditioner to moisturize and restore shine.
Trainers feel less comfortable over time
Remove and air out insoles regularly. Consider replacing insoles with new ones for renewed cushioning if the original EVA midsole compression becomes noticeable after extensive use.
