Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
This is natural for leather footwear. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape and minimize deep creases.
Surface scuffs on the white leather
Gently use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap to buff out minor surface marks.
Insole feels less comfortable over time
The ORTHOLITE insole is removable; you can replace it with a fresh pair of liners to restore underfoot comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Japan S trainers remain in good condition, consider the following:
- Breaking In: New leather shoes may feel slightly stiff; wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the material to soften.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a damp, soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals that may strip the finish. Use dedicated leather cleaners for stubborn stains.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather drying and discoloration.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to standard adult sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, consider using thinner socks for a better fit.
