FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?
The Onitsuka Tiger GSM trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. While they offer good comfort and traction for everyday activities, they are not engineered for high-impact sports or specialized athletic training.
How do I clean the cream and green suede?
For suede, use a soft brush to remove dirt. A suede eraser can tackle minor marks. For tougher stains, a dedicated suede cleaner is recommended. Always test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first and allow the shoes to air dry completely.
What is the OrthoLite™ sockliner?
The OrthoLite™ sockliner is an insole technology designed to provide enhanced cushioning, breathability, and moisture management, contributing to all-day comfort.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
Due to the suede and mesh materials, these trainers are not ideal for heavy rain or wet conditions. Prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the suede and affect the shoe's structure.
What is the typical fit of Onitsuka Tiger GSM trainers?
The GSM series generally offers a true-to-size fit for most wearers. It's recommended to check specific sizing charts and consider your foot width when selecting a size.
How do I store these trainers to keep them in good condition?
Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Keeping them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag is also beneficial.
What does 'GSM' stand for in the shoe model?
The 'GSM' model name is an abbreviation for 'Glove, Step, Motion', reflecting its design origins focused on comfort and a natural feel.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully.
Laces are worn or damaged
Replace laces with new ones of a similar length and material to maintain the shoe's aesthetic. Ensure they are tied securely but not overly tight.
Slight odor development
Ensure shoes are aired out completely between wears. Use baking soda inside the shoes overnight or a specialized shoe deodorizer spray.
Sole feels slippery
Check the outsole for any embedded debris. Lightly scuffing the sole on a rough surface can sometimes improve grip if it has become overly smooth.
