FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the Japan S is designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker. It lacks the advanced foam cushioning and support required for long-distance or high-impact running.

How do I determine my size?

These trainers follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your typical sneaker size.

Can these be worn in wet weather?

While the synthetic leather provides some protection against light rain, the shoes are not waterproof and should be dried naturally if they become wet.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you wish to replace them with orthotics or customized inserts.

Do these shoes require a break-in period?

Due to the synthetic leather construction, they may feel slightly stiff initially but will contour to your foot shape after a few days of regular wear.

Troubleshooting

Visible scuffs on the synthetic leather

Use a specialized synthetic leather cleaner or a gentle soap solution on a microfiber cloth to buff out superficial marks.

Feeling too tight or restrictive

Ensure the laces are not over-tightened near the toe box; if persistent, swap for a thinner insole to gain internal volume.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design suitable for office or casual wear
  • Durable synthetic leather is easy to clean
  • Classic aesthetic that remains stylish over time
  • Stable cupsole construction for daily comfort

Cons

  • Less cushioning than dedicated running shoes
  • Synthetic material may lack the breathability of mesh
  • Fit is tailored for lifestyle rather than performance athletics

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your ASICS Japan S trainers remain in top condition, follow these care steps:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe synthetic leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust.
  2. Storage: Keep shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
  3. Deodorizing: Use cedar shoe trees or moisture-absorbing inserts if the shoes are worn daily to maintain freshness.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers are standard UK sizing and fit best with mid-weight athletic or cotton socks for optimal comfort.
  5. Maintenance: Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can affect the structural integrity of the bonded sole.
