FAQs

Are the Onitsuka Tiger Serrano trainers suitable for running?

The Serrano trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer comfort and support for walking and everyday activities, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact running and may lack the advanced cushioning and stability features found in dedicated running shoes.

How do I determine the correct size?

It is recommended to consult the Onitsuka Tiger size chart available on their official website or retailer pages. Measure your foot length and compare it with the provided measurements. Many users find that these trainers fit true to size, but some prefer to size up or down slightly depending on foot width and personal preference.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash the Onitsuka Tiger Serrano trainers. The materials, particularly the mesh and adhesives, can be damaged by the washing machine's agitation and heat, potentially affecting their structure and appearance. Hand washing with a mild detergent and a soft brush or cloth is the preferred method.

What is the difference between Serrano and other Onitsuka Tiger models?

The Serrano model is known for its lightweight, low-profile design inspired by track and field shoes from the 1970s. It often features a slimmer silhouette and emphasizes flexibility and comfort for everyday wear, distinguishing it from bulkier or more performance-oriented models.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the Onitsuka Tiger Serrano trainers, especially those with mesh uppers, are not waterproof. They offer breathability, which means they are not designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions. For rainy weather, it is advisable to opt for footwear specifically designed for such environments.

What does 'Mako Blue Cream' refer to?

'Mako Blue' refers to the primary color of the shoe's upper, a vibrant shade of blue. 'Cream' indicates the color of the secondary overlays and detailing, providing a complementary contrast to the blue.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If still uncomfortable, consider using thinner or thicker socks. For minor tightness, wearing them around the house can help break them in. If significantly ill-fitting, consider exchanging for a different size.

Mesh upper appears dirty

Use a soft brush or damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently clean the mesh. Blot with a clean, damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid machine washing.

Creases forming on the upper

Creasing is a natural part of wear for most footwear. To minimize, ensure proper fit and avoid over-stuffing the shoes when storing. Shoe trees can help maintain shape.

Slight color transfer from stripes

This is rare but can happen with new shoes. It is best to avoid prolonged contact with light-colored materials until the shoes have been worn a few times. Ensure shoes are fully dry before wearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no assembly. They are ready to wear straight out of the box. It is recommended to try them on indoors to ensure a proper fit before wearing them outside.

Compatibility: The Onitsuka Tiger Serrano is designed for general adult use. They are compatible with most casual wear. For athletic activities, their suitability is limited to low-impact exercises.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and overlays with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the materials.
  2. Cleaning the Sole: Use a brush or damp cloth to clean the rubber sole. Stubborn dirt may require a mild soap solution, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  3. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can warp the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box, to maintain their shape and protect them from dust.
