I'm a big fan of Asics running shoes. I needed a new pair of white sneakers and these were a bit cheaper than the ones I had my eyes on. Since they look basically the same, I decided to give it a go. The Asics quality shines through. These are the comfiest sneakers I own now. The ortholite innersole provides cushioning for all day walking. The toe bend is on the perfect place. They're easy to clean and they are the best fitting pair of sneakers I have.

My wife and kids all have Japan S sneakers in different colourways. It’s a beautiful shoe. The white on white is particularly nice (it should be part of the permanent rotation). They love the fit - as comfortable as it is good looking from day one. I only wish it was a bit wider, or came in wider sizes. It The curse of being a wide-footed former skateboarder is being destined to a life of ugly shoes.

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.

When I wore these shoes once every two weeks, everything was fine. They were a little uncomfortable, but that was normal for new shoes. However, when the weather got colder and I started wearing them every day, a bad smell (like cat urine) appeared. I found online that this happens due to cheap materials, especially glue. I didn't expect to get poor quality shoes with poor materials from ASICS for not cheap price.
Really, really good shoe. I originally got the shoe to use for skateboarding, and it checked all of the boxes for me. The fit was comfortable but held my ankle well, the insole wasn't too think so I could actually feel the board underneath me, and they are built sturdily so they definitely could be skated in for a really long time. However, they are not breathable at all. This would be a 5/5 shoe for me, but they made my feet so sweaty, and consequently got so stinky that I had to put them back in the box at the back of my closet between skate sessions. I tried really hard to use the shoe to its full capacity, but they just make my feet so hot.
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.

These are a great retro style but… the tongue on the right shoe keeps sliding to the right during wear. I called customer service and was told to put one part of the laces under the tongue and that would secure it. Yes it does but the laces under dig into my foot. Not a solutionI’d like to exchange them but already tossed the box.ASICS have been my go to but this is the second pair that have disappointed. Additionally the insole is pretty nonsupportive. I wish I could have help from ASICS to find a good replacement.
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’d been looking for a new white sneaker for some time and had sizing issues with a few of the other viral styles. I find the Asics Japan S Sneaker to be the highest quality in the category and they’re super comfortable. I generally struggle to find sneakers that fit well as l need the width of an 11 but length of a 10, however, the Asics 11 fit perfectly. They also have high quality laces (l find a lot of sneakers have flimsy, cheap laces that fray and look worn extremely quickly). 10/10.
