FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The Ultimate 81 EX are lifestyle trainers designed for everyday comfort and casual wear, not for high-intensity athletic performance like marathon running. They offer good cushioning for walking and light activities.
How do I ensure I order the correct UK size?
Refer to the product sizing chart provided by Onitsuka Tiger or the retailer. It is recommended to measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the chart. If you are between sizes, consider your preferred fit (snug or roomy) and the material's ability to stretch slightly.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede material and the shoe's construction. Hand clean using specialized suede care products as outlined in the care instructions.
What is the main difference between the Ultimate 81 EX and other Onitsuka Tiger models?
The Ultimate 81 EX series typically features a heritage-inspired design that balances classic aesthetics with enhanced cushioning and support suitable for daily wear, often utilizing materials like suede for a premium feel.
How long do the shoes typically last with regular use?
With proper care and regular use for casual activities, Onitsuka Tiger trainers are known for their durability. Lifespan can vary depending on wear frequency, intensity, and adherence to care instructions, but many users find them long-lasting.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the suede material is not inherently waterproof. While a suede protector spray can offer some resistance to water and stains, these trainers are not designed for use in wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Gently brush with a suede brush to remove surface dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions carefully. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel slightly tight.
Wear with thin socks initially to allow the shoes to naturally conform to your feet. Suede can stretch slightly over time with wear. Consider a professional shoe stretcher if persistent tightness is an issue.
Color transfer from blue to white areas.
This can occur with new suede. Ensure the shoes are completely dry. If significant color transfer is noted, consider using a suede sealant. Avoid wearing in heavy rain or excessively damp conditions.
