Quality:goodSuitable Occasion:casual wear and trail walkingWearing Comfort:goodBought 2 pairs to enjoy more discount. Worn ASICS shoes for a long time. Size is perfect for me. Cool Sonoma with GTX. Nice design. Wanted the blue one but no size.

A really nice pair!

What do you need to understand in order to correctly evaluate this product?:- these shoes are synthetic leather;- the stitching along the sole is not real;- these are inexpensive shoes.Despite these facts, this is one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes I have ever owned. They are impeccably made. There are small traces of glue, but it's not significant. The sneakers don't squeeze, don't chafe my feet, my feet don't sweat, the fit is perfect.

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.

Beautiful, unique, comfortable, and versatile!

As soon as I wore these shoes for the first time, I knew I would be buying other pairs. I am not a sneakerhead, so I tend to gravitate towards the "non-mainstream" shoes and fits. This is a perfect piece because of the classic 80s look and the unique Asics branding on the sides, heel, and toe. They are inexpensive and as such have some stringiness coming off the stiching on the synthetic leather. However, it's not very noticable. The insole is very comfortable, but if they wanted to add an even better insole, they could. Overall, it's a stylish, breathable, comfortable shoe. I would like to see a version with premium materials such as true leather and suede.

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 ... MoreI tried these on at home when they arrived and they fit great, looked great too.

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

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.

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.

The quality ive come to expect from asics

I think these trainers are very comfortable, i usually wear gel quantums for my day to day and have done for 6 years since switching from nike air and wanted something a little more stylish for those trips into town or a more street scene environment.I have wide feet and these fit nicely, look great with chinos, would look great for the gym too.Very pleased with my purchase and will no doubt be buying more in the future.

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!
