FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the Japan S is a lifestyle shoe inspired by court heritage and is not designed for running or high-impact athletic performance.

How do I choose the correct size?

The Japan S trainers generally run true to size, so we recommend ordering your standard UK shoe size.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

We do not recommend machine washing, as it can damage the materials and adhesives. Spot cleaning is the safest method.

What materials are used in the Japan S?

These trainers feature a synthetic and leather-inspired upper designed for durability and a classic vintage look.

Are these shoes good for all-day walking?

They offer comfortable cushioning for casual daily activities, though they do not have the high-tech support systems found in dedicated long-distance walking or running shoes.

Troubleshooting

Visible scuffs on white leather upper

Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a damp cloth with a small amount of mild detergent to gently lift surface marks.

Creasing in the toe box

This is normal for leather-style court shoes; use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the structure.

Laces becoming undone frequently

Ensure they are double-knotted or tightened evenly across the eyelets to maintain proper tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal wear, ensure you select your standard UK sizing as these follow traditional fit patterns. To keep your white and black Japan S trainers in top condition, avoid machine washing. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to spot-clean the upper material. Keep them away from extreme heat sources to prevent material warping or adhesive degradation. If they get wet, air-dry them naturally at room temperature with the insoles removed to ensure thorough drying.
