What is the difference between this model and other Onitsuka Tiger trainers?

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Try wearing them with thin socks initially and gradually transition to thicker socks. If the tightness persists, consider using shoe stretchers or consulting a cobbler.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris. For persistent slipperiness on smooth surfaces, consider adding traction enhancers or visiting a shoe repair shop for sole treatment.

Color transfer from trainers to socks

This can sometimes occur with new, darker colored footwear. It is recommended to wear darker socks initially or wash the inside of the trainers lightly with a damp cloth and allow to dry completely before wear.

Unusual odor

Use a shoe deodorizer spray or baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure shoes are completely dry before wearing them again.
