Product Information
Full details
The Onitsuka Tiger GSM is a versatile, retro-inspired trainer designed for adults seeking a clean, classic aesthetic for daily wear. These trainers excel at blending functional comfort with timeless style, featuring a secure lace-up closure and a flat-heeled profile. While they provide excellent everyday comfort, users should note that the flat sole design offers minimal arch support compared to dedicated high-performance athletic footwear.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the GSM series is designed for lifestyle and casual wear rather than long-distance running or high-impact athletic activities.
Does the sizing run true to standard UK sizes?
Yes, these generally align with standard UK sizing, though the round toe provides a slightly more spacious feel in the front.
How do I maintain the white colour?
Regularly wipe them down with a damp cloth and avoid wearing them in muddy or harsh outdoor conditions.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles can typically be removed to accommodate custom orthotics if additional arch support is required.
Are they made of leather?
Many models in the GSM series, including specific size variants, use leather materials; please check your specific product label for confirmation.
What should I do if the shoes get soaked?
Remove the insoles, stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture, and let them air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during long periods of walking
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to be looser across the bridge of your foot or consider replacing the factory insole with a thinner insert.
White exterior material shows scuffs and dirt
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a soft-bristled brush with a gentle cleaning solution to remove surface debris.
Slippage in the heel area
Use the extra eyelet at the top of the lacing system to create a 'runner's loop' or heel lock to secure the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Onitsuka Tiger GSM trainers stay in top condition, follow these care and setup recommendations:
- Breaking In: Like most leather and synthetic trainers, wear them for short durations indoors to allow the materials to soften to your feet.
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth to remove dust. For tougher stains, use a mild leather-safe cleaner. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white material from yellowing or the leather from cracking.
- Lacing: Adjust the laces to a tension that holds your midfoot securely without causing pressure points.
- Weather Protection: Consider using a water-repellent spray specifically designed for footwear to protect the white and grey exterior from light rain and stains.
