Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the shoes are new, they may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time.
Soles are slippery on certain surfaces
The rubber outsole provides traction, but performance can vary on very wet or polished surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean from debris. For increased grip on specific surfaces, consider aftermarket grip enhancers if necessary.
Stains on the upper material
For most stains, use a soft cloth with a mild soap and water solution. Gently rub the stained area. For tougher stains on suede or nubuck (if applicable), use a specialized cleaner and brush. Always test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces are wearing out
Replacement laces can be purchased from Onitsuka Tiger retailers or general shoe accessory stores. Ensure you select laces of a similar length and material.
