FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The California 78 EX is designed as a lifestyle trainer with a retro running shoe aesthetic. While comfortable for walking and light activity, they are not intended for serious or high-impact running.

How do I find the right size?

It is recommended to consult the Onitsuka Tiger size guide available on their official website or the retailer's site. Measuring your foot length in centimeters or inches and comparing it to the chart is the most accurate method.

What is the main color of this shoe?

The main color is Monument Blue, with secondary cream accents.

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 and mild soap instead.

What is the closure type?

The closure type is lacing, allowing for an adjustable and secure fit.

What is the heel type?

The heel type is flat.

Is this shoe unisex?

While listed with a 'Male' gender attribute in some contexts, the design and styling of the California 78 EX are often considered unisex, appealing to a wide range of wearers. Always check specific product details for gender indications.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Refer to the official Onitsuka Tiger size chart and measure your foot. If still unsure, try on a pair in-store or consult with the seller regarding their specific sizing recommendations.

Minor scuffs or marks on the surface

Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher marks, use a specialized shoe cleaner appropriate for the material (e.g., suede cleaner for suede sections).

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace laces with a new pair of similar length and material. Onitsuka Tiger or other footwear brands offer replacement laces.

Discomfort during wear

Ensure laces are tied correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially.
