FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The ASICS Japan S typically follows standard sizing. We recommend ordering your usual athletic shoe size.

Can these be used for basketball?

No, while they are inspired by vintage basketball shoes, they are designed for casual lifestyle use and do not provide the technical support needed for competitive play.

How do I clean the white leather?

Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid bleach or heavy solvents which can yellow the leather.

Are the insoles removable?

Most models of the Japan S feature an insole that can be removed if you need to insert your own orthotics.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The silhouette is relatively standard. Because the upper is leather, it will stretch slightly over time to accommodate the foot.

Troubleshooting

The leather upper feels stiff during the first wear.

This is common with new leather footwear. Wear them for short durations indoors to gradually soften the material.

The outsole has collected debris in the tread.

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge pebbles or dirt from the rubber grooves.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Classic retro style that pairs well with casual outfits
  • Durable leather construction supports long-term wear
  • Cushioned interior provides superior comfort for walking
  • Versatile colorways allow for easy wardrobe integration

Cons

  • Not intended for high-intensity sports performance
  • May require a short break-in period for the leather upper
  • Limited to lifestyle use rather than technical athletic activities

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers require no special setup; simply loosen the laces to accommodate your foot and adjust for a secure fit. Regarding care, the leather upper should be wiped down with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the material finish. To maintain the shape, use a shoe tree or stuff the interior with paper when not in use for extended periods. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent cracking.
