FAQs

What is the primary material of the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66?

The primary material is leather, complemented by suede paneling for added texture and durability.

Are these trainers suitable for running or intense sports?

No, the Mexico 66 are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They are not specialized for high-performance athletic activities.

How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a suede brush to clean the suede and a specialized suede cleaner for tougher marks. Avoid water and harsh chemicals.

What is the origin of the Mexico 66 design?

The design is inspired by the sneakers worn by athletes at the 1968 Olympic Games.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, they are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to dry them thoroughly if they get wet.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the shoes are new, wear them for short periods to break them in. Consider using thicker or thinner socks to adjust fit.

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a quality leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear. Follow the product instructions for application.

Suede looks matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

The rubber sole provides traction, but very smooth or wet surfaces may reduce grip. Ensure the sole is clean of debris. For significant slippage, consider professional resoling with a higher-traction compound if necessary.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the leather and suede. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive water, as this can damage the materials.
  • Leather Care: For the leather components, apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
  • Suede Care: Use a specialized suede cleaner and brush to maintain the texture and appearance of the suede panels.
  • Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
