FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

These trainers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. They are not optimized for high-impact athletic activities like running, which typically require specialized cushioning and support.

How do I clean the pony hair detail?

Gently brush the pony hair with a soft brush to remove dust. For stains, use a cleaner specifically designed for suede or delicate materials, applying it very sparingly with a soft cloth.

What is the main inspiration behind the Japan Trainers?

The Japan Trainers are inspired by the original training model released for the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo, bringing a piece of sporting heritage to modern streetwear.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the rubber outsole offers some protection, the leather and pony hair upper is not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials.

Do the 3-Stripes feel durable?

The 3-Stripes are a signature design element, typically made from leather or synthetic materials stitched onto the shoe. They are designed for durability consistent with the shoe's overall construction.

What kind of fit can I expect?

The product description indicates a 'Regular fit'. The lace closure allows for adjustment to achieve a secure and comfortable fit tailored to your foot.

What makes the T-toe detail significant?

The double-stitched T-toe detail is a nod to the original design of the trainers, contributing to their authentic heritage aesthetic and reinforcing the front of the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring not to overtighten. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate or if insoles are needed.

Leather creasing excessively

This is normal with wear, especially for leather. To minimize, use a shoe tree when not in use and avoid bending the shoe excessively during wear.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or where parts of the shoe rub together.

Pony hair getting matted or dirty

Gently brush the pony hair with a soft-bristled brush in the direction of the hair. For stains, use a specialized suede or pony hair cleaner sparingly.
