FAQs
What material are the Onitsuka Tiger Tokuten shoes made of?
These shoes are primarily crafted from supple calf suede with a rubber outsole.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
The Onitsuka Tiger Tokuten are designed for style and casual comfort, not for high-performance athletic activities.
How should I clean the suede material?
Use a suede brush for regular dusting and a suede eraser for marks. Avoid excessive water and allow to air dry. Consider using a suede protector spray.
What is the fit like?
The shoes are designed to offer a comfortable, standard fit. The suede material will mold to your foot with wear.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions as they can be easily damaged by water and stains. Using a protector spray can offer some resistance.
What does the red accent on the heel signify?
The red heel counter provides a contrasting visual detail that adds to the shoe's aesthetic appeal.
Are there other color options available?
While this guide focuses on the 'Grey White' variant, Onitsuka Tiger often offers its models in various colorways. Please check available product listings for other options.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or consult specialized suede cleaning products.
Shoes feel stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in. The supple calf suede will naturally mold to your foot over time.
Water spots on suede
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, try to brush the affected area to restore the nap of the suede.
Laces need cleaning
Remove laces and hand wash them with mild detergent. Allow to dry completely before re-lacing.
