FAQs

Are the ASICS Japan S good for long walks?

Yes, they are designed with long-lasting cushioning specifically for everyday wear, making them comfortable for most walking activities.

Do these trainers run true to size?

Yes, the ASICS Japan S series generally follows standard adult sizing. If you have wider feet, you may prefer to try them on for a precise fit.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives used in the construction. Stick to manual surface cleaning.

Are these suitable for gym use?

While they are sturdy, they are lifestyle trainers and lack the specialized support and breathability required for high-intensity gym workouts.

What is the secondary colour on this model?

This specific model features a White primary colour with Grey accents.

Is the material real leather?

Yes, this version is constructed with leather for improved durability and style.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the leather toe box

This is a natural occurrence with genuine leather. Use a shoe tree when not wearing to help the material maintain its shape.

Difficulty keeping the white leather clean

Apply a leather protector spray before the first use to create a barrier against dust and minor spills.

Shoes feeling too stiff initially

Like most leather footwear, the Japan S may require a short break-in period; wear them for shorter intervals to allow the leather to flex with your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your ASICS Japan S trainers remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Because the primary material is leather, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents.

  1. Cleaning: Use a damp soft cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaning solution.
  2. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading.
  3. Moisture Control: If the trainers become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never place them directly on a heat source like a radiator, as this can warp the leather.
