FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Japan S is a lifestyle fashion sneaker and does not provide the technical support or impact protection required for running.
Does the sizing run true to size?
Yes, these generally fit true to standard UK size specifications.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.
How should I clean the rubber sole?
Use a soft brush with warm water and a small amount of mild detergent to scrub away dirt from the rubber cupsole.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is crafted from a durable synthetic leather blend.
Are these waterproof?
While the synthetic leather offers some water resistance against light splashes, they are not waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Creasing at the toe box after wear
This is normal for leather-style sneakers. Use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the structure.
Shoelaces coming undone frequently
Ensure the laces are threaded through the top eyelets and consider a double knot if needed.
Difficulty cleaning white scuffs on black leather
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a very light touch of mild soap on a microfiber cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply adjust the lace closure to your preferred tension to ensure a snug fit around your midfoot. These trainers are standard UK sizing and fit true to size.
To maintain the appearance of your Japan S trainers, follow these care steps:
- Wipe Down: Use a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and surface dust from the synthetic leather upper.
- Avoid Immersion: Never submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the adhesives.
- Air Dry: If the interior becomes damp, allow the shoes to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Conditioning: You may use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for synthetic materials to restore the finish if needed.
