A well balanced sneaker quality- and design-wise
Quality shoe that looks great. It's a casual sneaker. I mainly buy Asics due to the shoes slightly extra width. It's also a break-in shoe, as with most brands they will get more comfortable over time. Soles are glued on tightly though, so changing them for more ergonomic ones is doable, but takes some pulling. 4/5 as I've yet to come across a perfect shoe in my lifetime.... Show more

Got a bone spur after 1 day of wearing these
I tried these on at home when they arrived and they fit great, looked great too. For reference, I've owned many Asics in the past in the same size. I brought them on a quick weekend trip as my only pair of shoes, and after only a couple hours noticed searing pain with every step in the toe box. They are very snug there, and the leather material is so stiff that it squeezed my forefoot nonstop. When I got home, I had a bone spur on the top of my foot from the poor fit.I understand that the shoe could be great if I had ordered up a size, but I'm really disappointed customer service couldn't offer me any kind of recourse. No exchange, no return, no discount if I send these back and get another size. It's an issue I couldn't foresee without wearing the shoes, and once ...

Japan S, perfect purchase
I purchased these Japan S trainers from the Asics website. I'm registered blind with extremely limited sight in one eye. Firstly i found the website manageable ona 65 inch screenvand using adaptive technology. The website is very user friendly comoared to so many others. As far as the trainers are concerned, i already had two pairs of Japan S. I have a very extensive range of high end trainers across many brands. The Japan S trainers are currently my favourite brand and style. They are a stunning classic design than goes well with many wardrobe items. They are comfortable beyond what i expected them to be. These are now one of 5 different Japan S colour combos I own and im extremely happy with them all. The price was very reasonable and they were delivered promptly ...

Looks good, comfortable, a bit narrow so size up!
It's everything you'd expect from Asics. Well built, comfortable, looks great. The color contrast between the white and beige is a bit more noticeable in person than it looks online.My only issue with the shoe is that it runs small and narrow. The narrowness may simply be because I haven't broken in the leather yet, but the length surprised me. I usually wear size 11 shoes and decided to size up to 11.5 to give myself some extra wiggle room. Even then, in some positions my toes still touch the end of the shoe. Again, this might become less of an issue as the padding in the heel compresses to my feet, but definitely size up on these, at least on the higher end of the sizing scale.... Show more

Received as gift
I recently had the opportunity to try out the Asics Japan S Shoe. Been a while since I tried on something from Asics and I must say, it really impressed me.Sleek and stylish is what best describes it. The combination of clean lines and subtle detailing puts it high on my "white sneaker" list. One potential downside to note is that the Japan S is not the lightest option on the market. While it doesn't feel excessively heavy, at least to me, there are some who prioritize lightweight footwear and may find it slightly bulkier than they prefer.... Show more

A very good sneaker, absolutely above my expectations! The faux leather is nice and soft, the sole holds but is not too hard, the style is also excellent. I have narrow feet, the shoe fits very well on my foot (I think the shoe is too narrow for wide feet). With Asics and Adidas I wear size UK12 (US13, EU 48), this size is correct here.... Show more

size tip
I usually wear 5H - 6, depending on brandsBecause a lot of reviews recommended to buy a half / one size up, I purchased 6Hlengthwise, it was really one size big, but widthwise it was just good enough,,,so if you have wide feet, you might need to make a decision: (1) not too long, but tight, or (2) too long, but comfortableI think I will keep it, because I could wear it with extra insoles,,,maybe...

Stylish, comfortable, and sleek!
A very simplistic looking model, but that's actually what I love about this shoe! It's still a stylish and sleek-looking shoe, not too much going on with it like other Sportstyle shoes here, and more comfortable than similar brands like Vans. Another favorite of mine that I hope continues production for a long time.... Show more

Too narrow
Too narrow! Unfortunately, I threw out the box right away. I reached out to ASICS and explained that I never worn the shoes but threw out the box right. But they were like, “oooh we want the original packaging” Guess I’m stuck with the Japan forever in my shoe storage. Wouldn’t recommend if you have wide feet. And I’m Asian! LOL!... Show more

Very sturdy
Overall quality feels very sturdy however I did notice very tiny amounts of glue between the outer sole and upper. It's worth noting that the insoles are glued meaning you won't be able to put in your own. Soles feel very very solid on the outside yet the insole makes it a very comfortable shoe. It's worth noting that the insoles are glued meaning you won't be able to swap them for your own. These fit slightly more slim than similar shoes from other brands, but unless you have wide feet this is a non-issue.... Show more
