FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The California 78 EX are designed for casual wear and lifestyle. While they offer comfort for walking, they are not optimized for high-impact running activities.

How do I find the correct UK size?

Refer to the specific sizing guide provided by Onitsuka Tiger. It's recommended to measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the chart.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoe. Hand wash with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed.

What is the main difference between the California 78 EX and other Onitsuka Tiger models?

The California 78 EX specifically draws inspiration from 1970s running shoe aesthetics, offering a retro look combined with modern comfort features tailored for everyday use.

How durable are these trainers?

These trainers feature durable construction, making them suitable for regular daily wear. However, their longevity will depend on usage and care.

Is the 'White Grey' colorway true to the images?

The 'White Grey' colorway is designed to be a classic combination. Slight variations in color may occur due to monitor settings and lighting conditions during photography.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels off

Consult the Onitsuka Tiger sizing chart and measure your foot accurately. Consider the possibility of trying a different size if the initial fit is not comfortable.

Slight stiffness on first wear

This is normal for new footwear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to break in and conform to your foot shape.

Color transfer on socks

Some darker colors may experience minor transfer when new and wet. Ensure shoes are dry before wearing and consider wearing darker socks initially.
