FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Japan S is a lifestyle fashion sneaker and is not equipped with the technical cushioning or stability features required for running.
How do I ensure the correct fit?
The Japan S runs standard to UK sizing; we recommend selecting your usual shoe size for the best fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can cause the leather to dry out, crack, or lose its shape. Always clean manually with a damp cloth.
Is the material real leather?
The upper is crafted from a smooth leather blend, offering the look and feel of premium material.
Are they good for all-day wear?
Yes, the inclusion of a padded midsole and ankle collar makes them comfortable for long days of walking or standing.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing at the toe box
This is a natural occurrence with leather footwear. Using a shoe tree when not in use can help maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.
Surface scuffs on the white leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a gentle eraser tool to buff out minor scuffs without damaging the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your ASICS Japan S trainers requires proper maintenance due to their leather construction.
- Sizing: These shoes are true to size; ensure you are measuring against the UK size 9.5 standard for the best fit.
- Break-in Period: Leather uppers may feel stiff initially; wearing them for short periods will help the material naturally conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the leather finish.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or the white colour from yellowing over time.
