FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The Ultimate 81 EX trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and daily comfort. While they offer good grip, they may not provide the specialized cushioning and support required for serious running or high-impact athletic activities.

How do I clean the suede material?

Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Always allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat.

What is the main benefit of the slip-resistant design?

The slip-resistant sole enhances your stability and provides better traction on various surfaces, reducing the risk of accidental slips, especially in everyday walking conditions.

Can these trainers be worn by women?

While listed for men, these trainers often have a unisex appeal. Sizing can vary, so it's recommended to check a size conversion chart if you are unsure.

What does 'Ultimate 81 EX' signify?

The 'Ultimate 81 EX' designation typically refers to a specific model within the Onitsuka Tiger line, often inspired by retro designs from 1981, with 'EX' possibly indicating enhanced or updated features for modern wear.

How should I store these trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or stuffed with paper to maintain their shape. Avoid direct sunlight and damp environments.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and restore the nap. For stubborn marks, consult a specialized suede cleaner.

Laces are worn or frayed

Replace laces with a standard pair of flat shoelaces of similar length. Ensure they are tied securely.

Fit feels too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing to find a comfortable fit. If the shoe is fundamentally too small or large, consider exchanging for a different size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no assembly. Simply lace them up to your preferred tightness using the provided eyelets and laces.

Compatibility: The Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81 EX trainers are designed as unisex adult footwear. They are compatible with a wide range of casual attire.

Care: To maintain the suede material:

  1. Brushing: Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust after each wear. Brush in one direction to keep the nap consistent.
  2. Stain Removal: For dry dirt, allow it to dry completely before brushing. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner may be used following product instructions.
  3. Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray to guard against water and stains, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material damage. Avoid storing in plastic bags, as this can trap moisture.
