Overview

Reflective ASICS Spiral | Our verdict

92
Great!

ASICS elevated Japan S to new heights - literally and figuratively. Japan S PF is a platform version of Japan S, improving on stability but not so much in terms of support. It retains its excellent breathability and virtual weightlessness plus it can accommodate wider feet too. The streamlined silhouette is accented by the platform soles making the feet look slimmer and the user a bit taller.

ASICS Japan S PF has guaranteed comfort

The kicks are super comfortable, according to several reviews. “Super cute and super comfortable!” reported one sneakerhead. “I walked around in these and they stayed comfortable all day!” they added. “It's like walking in clouds,” quipped another tester.

One tester shared that they used the kicks for an 8-hour shift and reported that they had no discomfort or breaking-in issues. They were “comfortable from the first second,” noted a sneaker fan. “I can wear them all day right out of the box!” another reviewer retorted. 

Wide feet-friendly fit 

The kicks fit true to size, according to most reviews. But the best part is that they have a roomy toebox too! They are “true to size and great for wider feet,” a tester noticed. “The toe box is a bit wider so my foot isn’t squished,” another tester reported. “I have a semi-wide foot and the fit feels fantastic,” noted one reviewer. Additionally, the sneakers are “surprisingly streamlined and flattering!” exclaimed a sneaker fan.

Just the right platform sole you need

Many reviewers also noticed the height boost given by the soles. The platform height is 1.5 inches while the heel height is 2 inches. Sneaker fans love the height of the platforms because they “ give more height but not too high to be so noticeable.” “I love the smooth transition from the front to the back,” shared a reviewer. “They elevate your height, without making you feel like you're towering over everyone,” they added.

According to a reviewer, the base of the shoe also makes one “feel very stable walking around.” However, many other testers noted that the support is so-so. The sneakers are “not the most supportive shoe for high arches,” said a tester. “So cute but not have enough support,” said another reviewer. 

Minimalist but stays stylish

Based on the reviews, it is safe to say that these sneakers are cute. “Super chic,” described a tester. “These are IT!” said another. Other praises for ASICS Japan S PF include:

  • “Ronnie Fieg x ASICS Gel Lyte III Miami Beach & New York!” 
  • “These are fashion sneakers to wear with dresses, jeans, and loungewear.”
  • “If you are looking for a cute, classy, sort of understated platform sneaker, this is it.”

Best for its price
