FAQs

Are these trainers truly unisex?

Yes, the Onitsuka Tiger California 78 EX are designed with a unisex fit, meaning they are suitable for both men and women. Sizing is typically based on standard UK shoe sizes.

What is the main color of these trainers?

The main color is Monument Blue, with secondary Cream accents.

What material are these trainers made from?

The description indicates a combination of synthetic and textile materials for durability and comfort.

Can I wear these for running or sports?

While inspired by running shoes, they are best suited for casual wear, walking, and light recreational activities. They are not designed for high-impact sports or serious athletic training.

How should I determine my correct size?

It is recommended to consult a size chart provided by the retailer or Onitsuka Tiger. Measuring your foot length and comparing it to the chart can help ensure the best fit.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The trainers feature a standard fit. If you have particularly wide feet, it's advisable to check reviews or try them on if possible, as the round toe offers some width but the overall shoe may not be designed for very wide feet.

What does 'EX' in California 78 EX stand for?

The 'EX' typically denotes an updated or 'Exploration' version of the original model, often featuring refinements in materials or design elements while retaining the core aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Laces wear out or break.

Replace laces with standard shoe laces of a similar length and color. Many retailers offer replacement laces.

Discoloration on the upper material.

For minor scuffs, try a gentle cleaning with a damp cloth. For more persistent marks on the blue or cream sections, use a specialized shoe cleaner suitable for the material, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Slightly tight fit.

Wear the shoes with medium-thickness socks for a short period to allow them to stretch slightly. If the fit remains uncomfortable, consider if a larger size would be more appropriate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no setup. Upon arrival, ensure they are in their original packaging and have not been damaged in transit. The main adjustment is the lacing system, which should be tightened to your comfort.

Compatibility: The California 78 EX are designed as unisex trainers, suitable for adults. They are compatible with a wide range of casual attire.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid machine washing.
  • Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight, which can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box, to maintain their shape and protect them from dust.
