FAQs
Are the ASICS Japan S trainers waterproof?
While the synthetic leather provides some resistance to light moisture, these shoes are not waterproof and should not be worn in heavy rain or deep puddles.
Can these be used for running?
No, these are fashion sneakers. They do not have the specialized cushioning or impact protection required for running.
How do I determine my size?
The Japan S range typically follows standard UK sizing. If you have worn ASICS fashion sneakers before, you should likely stick to your usual size.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from 100% synthetic leather, while the lining and cushioning are made of 100% polyester.
Can I remove the insoles?
The internal cushioning is designed as part of the shoe structure; removing them may affect the comfort and intended fit.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The lace-up design allows for some adjustment, but the classic heritage cut is generally designed for a standard width.
Troubleshooting
The leather feels stiff after initial wear.
Gently flex the sole and ensure the laces are adjusted to your comfort level; wear them consistently for short periods to allow the material to soften.
Surface scuffs appearing on the black finish.
Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap solution to spot clean; avoid abrasive brushes that could strip the black pigment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Japan S sneakers maintain their appearance, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the synthetic leather to contour to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt from the synthetic leather. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the black finish to fade over time.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size. If you plan to wear thick winter socks, consider if your standard size provides enough room, as the leather material has less stretch than mesh alternatives.
