FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?

No, the Onitsuka Tiger Runspark trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They do not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for marathon running.

How do I know which size to order?

Refer to the size chart provided by Onitsuka Tiger, which typically includes UK, EU, and US sizing. Ensure you measure your foot length accurately for the best fit.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the sole offers some slip resistance, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and maintain comfort.

What is the main difference between trainers and other shoe types?

Trainers, like the Runspark, are generally designed for comfort and casual use, often with a focus on retro styling. Other shoe types may be built for specific athletic performance, formal occasions, or outdoor activities, with features tailored to those purposes.

What does 'Black Gold' refer to in the colourway?

'Black Gold' refers to the primary color scheme of the shoe, which features a black base with gold accents or branding, creating a distinct visual contrast.

How should I care for the leather or synthetic upper?

For leather or synthetic uppers, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For more stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel slightly tight on first wear

This is common with new shoes. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow the materials to conform to your feet. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period.

Slight odor after wear

Ensure feet are dry before wearing. Remove insoles if possible and air them out separately. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda overnight.

Laces fraying

Replace laces with a new pair of similar length and material. Avoid over-tightening laces, which can cause premature wear.
