FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Onitsuka Tiger Tokuten trainers are designed for general wear and light training. They do not offer the specialized cushioning and support required for intense running activities.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the product's size chart and consider your typical shoe size. Since these are unisex, men may want to size down half a size compared to women's sizing, but it's best to check specific conversion charts if available.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, they are not waterproof. For significant rain, it's advisable to use a waterproofing spray and avoid prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
What is the main material of these shoes?
The main material for the upper of these trainers is leather.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Using the original box or a shoe bag is recommended to protect them.
What does 'Tokuten' signify in the product name?
'Tokuten' is part of the Onitsuka Tiger series, often representing a blend of heritage design with functional comfort suitable for training and everyday wear.
Do these shoes come in other colors besides Red/Grey?
This specific product listing is for the Red/Grey colorway. Onitsuka Tiger may offer the Tokuten model in other colors depending on the season and availability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight upon first wear
Leather will naturally stretch slightly with wear. Wear them for short periods initially, or consider using thicker socks to help break them in.
Leather shows scuff marks
For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner or polish of the appropriate color can often help mask them. For deeper scuffs, professional leather repair may be necessary.
Laces are difficult to tighten evenly
Ensure the laces are threaded through the eyelets without any twists. Pulling evenly from both sides while tightening can help achieve a uniform fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no assembly. Upon receiving them, ensure they are the correct size and remove any packaging. They are ready to wear out of the box.
Compatibility: The Onitsuka Tiger Tokuten trainers are designed as general-purpose footwear. They are compatible with most casual and athletic attire. While suitable for light training, they are not specialized for high-impact sports like running, basketball, or weightlifting, where more performance-oriented footwear is recommended.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: For the leather upper, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and grime. For stubborn stains, a leather cleaner specifically designed for the type of leather can be used sparingly.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially for the leather components.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to prevent dust and damage.
