Good quality craftsmanship. Very comfortable, I especially like the insoles/ footbed cushion. Was hoping for a little more room in the toe box, but not too low or narrow. Would like to see more base color options other than white, like maybe some black & tan or brown/olive green combos

I recently purchased a pair of Asics Japan S shoes, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The fit is perfect, offering both comfort and support. What really stood out was the quality—these shoes are a notch above others in the same price range. They feel durable and well-constructed, which is impressive given the competitive pricing.The entire purchasing process was smooth, with great customer service and prompt delivery. Overall, a fantastic buying experience. I highly recommend these shoes for anyone looking for quality and value.

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 ... MoreI purchased these Japan S trainers from the Asics website. I'm registered blind with extremely limited sight in one eye.

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.
Bought these as a second gift for my husband as more of a stylish trainer he could wear going out on holidays as I'd already bought him the Gel Pulse 14 as his everyday pair. The Japan's give him that unique ASICS comfort and fit that he loves along with a sleek and stylish look that he wanted. Again he didn't have to break them in as they were the perfect size and fit as always with ASICS. He has the most awkward feet when it comes to buying shoes and ASICS is always his go to for trainers as they never let him down.
The quality of the shoes is poor. I have an old shoes which I purchased 1 year ago and the quality was much better. The current shoes’ material substitute is cheap, even laces are of low and cheap quality. My feet suffer and I get allergy when the materials don’t let air in, and this what happened to me this time with a new pair of shoes which I wore only around 1 hour. I would prefer to pay more for good quality.
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.
I was not expecting the insoles to be so cushiony when I ordered these, but I was very pleasantly surprised. These will be perfect for long shifts at work when I have to spend all day on my feet. These seem very well made. There are no loose threads or imperfections on either shoe, which is better than I can say for other more expensive shoes I’ve tried before. Also, the sage green color is super cute!
