FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The Onitsuka Tiger California 78 EX is designed primarily for casual wear and light activities. They are not engineered for high-impact running or athletic performance.

How do I clean the cream and grey suede?

Use a soft-bristled suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. If necessary, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid over-wetting the suede. Always let them air dry completely away from heat.

What material are these trainers made of?

These trainers feature a suede upper for a premium feel and look.

What is the closure type?

They feature a traditional lacing closure for a secure and adjustable fit.

What is the heel type?

The California 78 EX has a flat heel, providing a stable base for casual wear.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

Suede is not ideal for wet conditions. It is recommended to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet environments to protect the material.

What is the intended use for this model?

These trainers are intended for casual daily wear, offering a blend of retro style and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, try a suede eraser or a damp cloth with minimal water, and let air dry. Avoid soaking the suede.

Shoes feel too tight.

If the fit is snug, consider wearing thinner socks. Suede can sometimes stretch slightly with wear. If they remain uncomfortable, consider a half-size larger if available.

Color transfer from suede to socks.

This can occasionally happen with new suede, especially in darker colors or when wet. Ensure the suede is properly treated and dry. Washing socks inside out might help.

Sole shows signs of wear.

For minor wear, consider a shoe repair specialist for sole care. For significant wear, replacement might be an option depending on the shoe's construction.
