FAQs

Are the Onitsuka Tiger GSM suitable for sports?

The GSM sneakers are designed primarily for casual wear and light activities. They offer comfort and style but may not provide the necessary support or cushioning for high-impact sports.

How should I clean the leather upper?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a mild leather cleaner can be applied sparingly, followed by a damp cloth rinse. Always allow the leather to air dry.

What is the purpose of the 'GSM' in the name?

GSM stands for 'Game, Set, Match,' indicating the shoe's roots in tennis-inspired design, even though it's now a popular lifestyle model.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

It is recommended to check the brand's specific sizing chart and, if possible, try the shoes on. Some users find they run true to size, while others suggest a half-size up or down depending on foot width.

Can these shoes be worn in the rain?

While the leather can withstand light moisture, these are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended, and the shoes should be dried thoroughly afterward.

What material is the sole made of?

The sole is typically made of rubber, designed to offer durability and slip-resistance for everyday walking.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring not to overtighten. If tightness persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if break-in is needed.

Leather creasing excessively

This is normal for leather. Ensure proper fit to minimize undue stress. Use shoe trees for storage to help maintain shape. Avoid over-flexing the shoe.

Slippery sole on wet surfaces

While designed for slip-resistance, all soles can be less effective on very wet or oily surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions. Ensure soles are free from debris.

Discoloration of white leather

Clean promptly with a damp cloth. Use a leather cleaner specifically designed for white leather if necessary. Protect from substances that can cause staining.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Care:
