FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
The ASICS Japan S Low Shoes are designed primarily for casual wear. While they offer comfort for walking and daily activities, they do not provide the specialized support and cushioning required for most athletic sports.
How do I find my correct UK size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by ASICS or the retailer. Ensure you measure your foot length accurately from heel to toe and compare it with the UK size guide for this model.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, construction, and adhesives of the shoes. Hand wash with a damp cloth and mild soap as per the care instructions.
What is the primary inspiration for the Japan S series?
The Japan S series is inspired by ASICS' heritage court shoes from the 1980s, offering a retro aesthetic with modern comfort features.
How do I clean the white accents on the shoe?
Use a slightly damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently clean the white areas. A magic eraser can also be effective but should be used with caution to avoid damaging the material.
What kind of socks are best with these shoes?
These shoes can be worn with most types of socks, from no-show socks for a casual look to standard athletic or casual socks for comfort.
What does 'Low Top' mean in this context?
'Low Top' refers to the cut of the shoe, meaning it sits below the ankle, allowing for greater freedom of movement compared to high-top shoes.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct UK size. Try wearing them with thinner socks initially. If they are new, they may require a short break-in period.
Scuff marks on the surface
For light scuffs, try wiping with a damp cloth. For deeper marks, a specialized shoe cleaner or a magic eraser may be used gently on the appropriate material areas, testing on an inconspicuous spot first.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris. Some new shoe soles can be slick initially; light wear on rougher surfaces can help improve traction.

Care: To maintain the appearance and condition of your ASICS Japan S shoes:
