FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Onitsuka Tiger Dualio are designed as casual shoes for daily comfort and wear. They are not intended for high-performance running or athletic activities.
How do I determine my correct size?
It is recommended to check the specific size guide provided by the retailer or manufacturer, as shoe sizing can vary. Compare your foot measurement to the provided UK sizing chart.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the suede, fabric, and internal cushioning. Hand wash specific areas as per the care instructions.
What is the warranty period for these shoes?
Information regarding specific warranty periods is typically provided by the retailer at the time of purchase or can be found on the manufacturer's official website.
How often should I clean my suede shoes?
It's best to clean them as needed, especially after exposure to dirt or stains. Regular brushing can help maintain the suede's appearance between deeper cleanings.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes are not inherently waterproof. The suede material can be sensitive to moisture. Using a water-repellent spray can offer some protection.
What does 'Dualio' signify?
While the specific meaning isn't detailed, 'Dualio' likely refers to the dual functionality or dual materials (suede and fabric) contributing to the shoe's design and purpose.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and adjust them to provide more room. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate or if the shoe needs a short break-in period.
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to clean the surface and restore the nap. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be helpful. Always brush in one direction after cleaning.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
While designed for slip resistance, some extremely smooth or wet surfaces may still pose a risk. Ensure the sole is clean. If the issue persists, consider the specific environment of use.
Uneven wear on the sole
This can sometimes indicate an improper gait. Inspect the shoe for damage. Ensure you are not using the shoes for activities they are not designed for (e.g., intense sports).
