FAQs
Are these shoes good for running?
No, the Japan S is a lifestyle trainer inspired by heritage basketball designs and is not intended for running or high-impact athletics.
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size for standard adult sizing, but individual fit preferences may vary.
How do I keep the white leather looking clean?
Wipe them regularly with a damp cloth and avoid wearing them in muddy or harsh conditions to prevent deep staining.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are typically removable if you require custom orthotics, but check your specific pair to ensure they are not glued.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Japan S features a standard width. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the leather upper provides less 'give' than fabric-based shoes.
Troubleshooting
Leather showing creases from walking
This is a natural characteristic of leather footwear. Use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the shoe's shape.
Scuff marks on the white finish
Gently rub the area with a white eraser or a soft cloth dipped in a mild leather cleaner solution.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your ASICS Japan S trainers in top condition, follow these simple guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Leather shoes may feel stiff initially; wear them for shorter periods during the first week to allow the material to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the leather exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Use a specialized leather cleaner for stubborn stains. Avoid submersing the shoes in water or putting them in a washing machine.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat or sunlight, which can crack or discolour the leather over time.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray to help protect the material from the elements.
