FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the synthetic leather is water-resistant, they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
These are classified as fashion sneakers. While suitable for light activity, they lack the specific technical cushioning required for high-impact sports.
How do I ensure the right fit?
The ASICS Japan S conforms to standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to try them on in the afternoon when your feet are at their largest.
What is the primary material used?
The uppers are made from 100% synthetic leather, while the lining and cushioning consist of 100% polyester.
How do I maintain the color?
Avoid leaving the shoes in direct, intense sunlight for extended periods to prevent potential fading of the black finish.
Troubleshooting
Visible surface dust on suede inserts
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently lift fibers and remove debris.
Minor scuffs on the synthetic leather
Gently rub the area with a damp cloth and mild soap; ensure it is dried immediately afterward.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Japan S trainers stay in peak condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the synthetic leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the synthetic materials.
- Maintenance: For the suede inserts, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust and dirt.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place. Using a shoe tree can help maintain the shape of the toe box when not in use.
- Fit: These trainers follow standard UK sizing; ensure you choose your correct size for the most comfortable fit across the midfoot.
