FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Japan S is a lifestyle trainer based on a retro court model and is not designed for running or high-impact athletic performance.
How do I clean the platform sole?
Use a soft-bristled brush and a mild detergent or specialized shoe cleaner to scrub the sole edges.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The Japan S series generally follows standard adult sizing, but as with all trainers, it is recommended to reference the UK size conversion.
What is the primary material of the upper?
These trainers feature durable synthetic materials intended to replicate the classic leather look while providing comfort.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, you can remove the existing insoles to replace them with orthotic or cushioned inserts if desired.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the white upper
Use a gentle soap solution and a soft cloth to spot clean; avoid machine washing to maintain the structure.
Laces coming untied frequently
Ensure they are double-knotted or consider replacing with slightly textured laces if slippage persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your ASICS Japan S sneakers, ensure you try them on with the type of socks you intend to wear daily to verify the fit, as platform styles can affect how the heel locks in. For compatibility, their neutral White/Steeple Grey palette makes them suitable for everything from denim to casual trousers. To care for your trainers: 1. Wipe down the synthetic/leather upper with a damp cloth after use to prevent dirt buildup. 2. Use a specialized sneaker cleaner for deeper stains, avoiding harsh chemicals. 3. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the glue bonds and material integrity.
