FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The Ultimate 81 EX are designed primarily for casual wear and light activities. They offer comfort and style for everyday use but may not provide the specialized support and cushioning required for serious or high-impact running.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the Onitsuka Tiger sizing chart, which typically correlates measurements like foot length to specific UK shoe sizes. It's also helpful to check customer reviews for insights on sizing accuracy.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to maintain the integrity and appearance of the materials.

What is the main difference between the Ultimate 81 and the Ultimate 81 EX?

The 'EX' typically denotes an updated or enhanced version. The Ultimate 81 EX likely features modern comfort technologies and potentially updated design elements compared to the original Ultimate 81 model.

Are these trainers good for standing all day?

Yes, the blend of retro style and modern comfort cushioning makes them a suitable choice for individuals who need comfortable footwear for extended periods of standing or walking during daily activities.

What materials are used in the Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81 EX?

These trainers are typically constructed with a combination of synthetic materials, leather accents, and rubber soles, designed for both durability and aesthetic appeal. Specific material composition may vary.

Troubleshooting

Uncomfortable fit

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider using different lacing techniques to adjust pressure points or trying the trainers with different sock thicknesses.

Squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the sole and the insole. Try sprinkling a little talcum powder under the insole, or ensure the insoles are properly seated.

Discoloration

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean with appropriate methods as outlined in the care instructions to prevent staining.

Tread wear

Normal wear and tear will occur with regular use. For excessive or uneven tread wear, check for any underlying fit issues or inappropriate use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort.

Compatibility: The Ultimate 81 EX trainers are designed for general adult use and are compatible with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, shorts, and casual trousers. They are suitable for various everyday environments, from urban settings to relaxed social events.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and construction.
  2. Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or intense sunlight, which can cause materials to shrink or warp.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape. Protect from excessive moisture.
