FAQs

Are these shoes good for running?

The Onitsuka Tiger California 78 EX are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer comfort for walking, they are not specialized for high-impact running or athletic training.

How do I determine my correct size?

It is recommended to consult the brand's sizing chart and customer reviews. Many users suggest sizing up by a half or full size for a more comfortable fit.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoe. Spot clean with a damp cloth instead.

What is the main color of this specific model?

The main colors for this variant (1183A194-100) are Directoire Blue and Cream. The product description also lists 'White, Blue' as main colors.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

These trainers typically have a standard width. If you have wider feet, it's advisable to try them on if possible or consider sizing up.

What is the closure type?

The footwear closure type is a lace-up closure, allowing for an adjustable fit.

What is the material of the shoe?

While specific materials aren't detailed here, vintage-inspired trainers like these typically feature a combination of synthetic overlays and textile or suede uppers.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels too tight

Try wearing thinner socks or consider exchanging for a half or full size larger, as these may run small.

Laces come undone frequently

Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing laces with a textured pair for better grip.

Sole feels stiff initially

Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the sole to break in and conform to your foot's shape.

Color transfer onto socks

This can occur with new shoes. Wash socks separately before first wear, or choose darker socks. The color transfer should minimize with use.
