Q&A | Frequently asked questions and concerns from customers when choosing business sneakers

[Q] Is it inappropriate to wear sports brand sneakers to the office?

[A] While sports brand sneakers can be worn both casually and formally, those with overly strong brand designs can make your outfit look too casual, so it's best to avoid them in business settings unless you want to dress sportily (of course, this depends on the design and color). When choosing business sneakers, make sure to "clearly convey a professional attitude."

[Q] How do you decide whether to wear leather shoes or sneakers?

[A] For example, when you go out to meet clients, you'll likely wear a suit or a matching set, so we recommend choosing leather shoes to go with it, and then wearing sneakers when you're working indoors in the office. We suggest using both leather shoes and sneakers depending on your work schedule for the day. By switching between them in this way, you'll feel more motivated to go to work and you can enjoy a wider range of outfit options.

[Q] Please explain the differences in the color combinations of the upper and sole.

[A] While black and white uppers are popular for business sneakers, a black upper with a white sole looks lighter than black on black, while black on black creates a chic atmosphere. Also, thick, voluminous soles tend to make a strong statement as shoes and are said to be difficult to pair with dressy jacket and trousers.

[Q] How can I enjoy styling my feet when wearing business sneakers?

[A] Many people wear shoe-in socks with business sneakers to create a "barefoot look," just like with leather shoes, but how about enjoying coordinating sneakers with socks? With leather shoes, you often end up with basic color combinations, but with sneakers, you can have fun with color coordination and material selection, and you can add a playful touch.

[Q] I don't know which sneakers best suit my business style.

[A] Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building B1F. We have a wide variety of sneakers in our men's shoe section, so if you come wearing the sneakers you want to match with a particular outfit, we can offer more specific suggestions. We also recommend choosing sneakers for the upcoming summer season.

【Q】How do I care for my sneakers?

[A] When you buy sneakers, please also purchase a waterproof and stain-resistant spray. Spraying them before wearing them for the first time will make daily maintenance easier. Also, since white sneakers tend to get dirty on the upper and sole, using JASON MARKK 's durable sheet-type paper cleaner "Quick Wipes" daily will help maintain their whiteness.

[Q] The rainy season and sudden downpours are coming up. Are there any sneakers that are resistant to rain?

[A] Suede is recommended. Applying waterproof spray before wearing them will make them very water-resistant, making shoe selection in the morning much easier.
