FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?

The Mexico 66 'Gold Metallic' is designed primarily as a lifestyle and casual wear sneaker. While they offer comfort and support for everyday activities, they are not intended for rigorous athletic training or sports requiring specialized footwear.

How do I know if I have the right size?

It is recommended to consult the Onitsuka Tiger sizing chart available on the product page or official website. Measuring your foot length in cm or inches and comparing it to the chart usually provides the most accurate result.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the leather can withstand light moisture, it is not recommended to wear these sneakers in heavy rain. Prolonged exposure to water can damage the leather and affect the shoe's structure. Ensure they are properly dried if they get wet.

Is the gold metallic finish durable?

The metallic finish is applied to the leather. With proper care and avoiding excessive abrasion, the finish should maintain its appearance. Avoid harsh cleaning agents or rubbing vigorously, which could potentially scratch or wear down the metallic coating.

What is the main difference between this and other Mexico 66 models?

The primary differences typically lie in the colorway, material accents, and sometimes slight variations in construction or sole type. This 'Gold Metallic' model specifically features a prominent black and gold color scheme and a leather upper.

How should I clean the gold metallic parts?

Gently wipe the gold metallic areas with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive water, as this could damage the finish.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Leather shoes can stretch slightly with wear. Consider wearing them for short periods initially or using shoe stretchers if the tightness is significant.

Scuff marks on leather

Use a specialized leather cleaner or a magic eraser gently on the affected area. For deeper scuffs, consult a professional shoe repair service.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the soles are clean and dry. For increased traction on very smooth surfaces, consider a rubber sole protector or visiting a cobbler.

Color transfer from gold accents

This is rare but can occur with friction. Ensure socks are not damp and avoid prolonged contact with light-colored materials, especially when new. A protective spray for leather might offer some resistance.
