FAQs
What material are the Onitsuka Tiger Tokuten made from?
The Onitsuka Tiger Tokuten 'Grey White' features a supple calf suede upper.
What is the best way to clean suede shoes?
Use a soft brush for dry dirt and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Always test cleaning products in an inconspicuous area first and allow shoes to air dry naturally.
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
While inspired by sports heritage, the Tokuten is designed primarily for casual wear and daily comfort, not high-impact athletic activities.
What does 'Tokuten' mean?
In Japanese, 'Tokuten' can mean 'special points' or 'goals,' often associated with scoring in sports, reflecting the brand's athletic roots.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The product information specifies UK sizing. It's recommended to know your accurate UK shoe size. These are listed as UK size 10 in this specific variant.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
Suede is not ideal for wet conditions. It's recommended to protect the shoes with a water and stain repellent spray and avoid prolonged exposure to rain or puddles.
Are there other color options available?
While this guide focuses on the 'Grey White' variant, Onitsuka Tiger often releases its models in various colorways. Please check with retailers for current availability.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Protect with a suede spray afterward.
Shoes feel slightly tight
Wear the shoes with thicker socks around the house for a few hours to allow them to stretch naturally. Suede can adapt slightly over time.
Color transfer from suede
This can happen with new suede. Wear darker socks initially. If color transfer to skin or light fabrics is a persistent issue, consider using a color sealant spray specifically designed for suede, after testing in an inconspicuous area.
Water spots on suede
Gently brush the entire shoe with a suede brush once dry. If the spots are significant, a light misting of water over the entire shoe followed by brushing can help even out the appearance.
