FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The Onitsuka Tiger California 78 EX trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. While they offer comfort for walking, they are not engineered with the advanced support and cushioning required for serious running or athletic training.

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

It is recommended to consult the official Onitsuka Tiger sizing chart. Pay attention to reviews from other customers who may comment on whether the shoes run true to size, large, or small. If unsure, measuring your foot length and comparing it to the chart is the best approach.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

These trainers are not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to rain or wet conditions is not recommended as it can affect the materials and comfort.

What is the best way to clean the 'White Grey' colorway?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher spots, a small amount of mild soap and water can be applied gently with a cloth or soft brush, followed by a clean damp cloth. Always air dry away from heat.

Do these trainers offer good arch support?

The California 78 EX provides basic support typical of heritage trainers. For individuals requiring significant arch support, adding an aftermarket insole is often a good solution.

What is the primary style of these trainers?

These trainers feature a classic retro running shoe design, characterized by their streamlined silhouette and vintage-inspired detailing.

Are there other color options available?

Yes, Onitsuka Tiger typically offers the California 78 EX series in a range of colorways. Please check the product listings for other available options beyond the 'White Grey' variant.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect.

Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart and consider customer reviews regarding fit. If possible, try them on in person or ensure a flexible return policy is in place.

Discoloration on the upper material.

Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid excessive rubbing, which can spread the stain or damage the material. Ensure they are fully dried away from direct heat.

Laces are difficult to tie or come undone.

Ensure laces are properly threaded and tied with a secure knot. Consider replacing the original laces with ones that offer better grip if this is a recurring issue.

Soles feel less supportive than expected.

These trainers are designed for casual comfort. For enhanced support during longer walks, consider using aftermarket insoles or orthotics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Onitsuka Tiger California 78 EX trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size before wearing them for extended periods.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for unisex adult wear and are compatible with most casual clothing styles, including jeans, shorts, skirts, and athletic wear. They are not designed for compatibility with formal attire.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Gently clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a thorough wipe with a clean, damp cloth.
  2. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources such as radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, when not in use. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
