FAQs

What material are the Onitsuka Tiger Tokuten shoes made of?

The Onitsuka Tiger Tokuten 'Grey White' is crafted from supple calf suede with leather accents.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?

These shoes are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They are not intended for high-impact athletic activities.

How should I clean the suede upper?

Use a specialized suede brush for general cleaning. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. Avoid water and use a suede protector spray for maintenance.

What does the red heel counter signify?

The red heel counter is a design element that adds a contrasting visual accent to the otherwise minimalist grey and white color scheme.

Can these shoes be worn by women?

While this specific listing is for men's sizing (UK 7), the Onitsuka Tiger Tokuten series often comes in unisex sizing. Please check specific product details for availability.

How do I ensure the right fit?

Refer to standard UK sizing guides. If unsure between sizes, consider the typical fit of low-top sneakers and the material's slight stretch potential.

What is the typical lifespan of these shoes?

With proper care and regular maintenance, these shoes can last for several years of casual wear, depending on usage frequency and environmental conditions.

Troubleshooting

Suede losing its texture

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush in one direction. For matted areas, try brushing back and forth lightly to lift the nap.

Light stains on suede

Use a suede eraser to gently rub out the stain. For more stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used very sparingly, followed by immediate brushing once dry.

Shoes feel tight

Suede can stretch slightly with wear. If they are initially very tight, consider wearing them for short periods initially or using a shoe stretcher designed for suede.

Color transfer from red heel counter

Ensure the red dye is fully set. If color transfer occurs onto lighter socks, it is rare and may indicate a manufacturing defect. Washing socks separately might help.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning Suede: Use a suede brush to remove dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water directly on suede.
  2. Protection: Apply a suede protector spray to guard against water and stains before initial wear and periodically thereafter.
  3. Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Stuff them with paper to help maintain their shape.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or the original box to prevent dust accumulation and maintain shape.
