FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
No, the Onitsuka Tiger GSM are designed as lifestyle sneakers for casual wear and everyday comfort. They do not provide the specialized support or cushioning required for running or intense athletic activities.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the Onitsuka Tiger sizing chart, which typically correlates UK/US shoe sizes with EU sizes and foot measurements. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the chart provided by the brand.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the materials offer some resistance, these sneakers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and discomfort.
What is the primary material of the shoe?
The specific materials can vary, but the 'White Grey Green' GSM typically features a combination of leather and synthetic materials for the upper, with a rubber sole.
How should I clean the green and grey accents?
Use a soft, damp cloth for gentle cleaning. For tougher dirt on the accents, a very small amount of mild soap diluted in water can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Do these sneakers come in other colorways?
Yes, Onitsuka Tiger offers the GSM model in a variety of color combinations. You can check the brand's official website or authorized retailers for other available options.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common with new leather or synthetic footwear. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow them to mold to your feet. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period.
Soles appear to be separating slightly.
Ensure no excess moisture is trapped. If the separation is minor and due to normal wear, a professional shoe repair service might be able to re-glue it. Check for any debris caught in the seam.
Color transfer onto socks or feet.
Some darker dyes can transfer, especially when wet. This is usually temporary. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing. If persistent, consult the manufacturer's guidelines or a shoe specialist.
