FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Mexico 66 trainers are designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. They provide good stability but may lack the specialized cushioning and support required for serious or long-distance running.

How do I clean the Cream White color?

Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher spots, a mild leather cleaner is recommended. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals. Ensure they air dry completely.

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

The Mexico 66 is one of Onitsuka Tiger's most iconic and historically significant models, known for its slim profile, classic stripes, and heritage design dating back to the 1960s. Other models might feature different materials, sole constructions, or more contemporary designs.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may damage the leather and affect comfort. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions or use a water-repellent spray.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The shoes should feel snug but not uncomfortably tight. There should be a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. Trying them on, preferably later in the day when feet are slightly larger, is the best way to ensure a proper fit.

What does 'Unisex' mean for sizing?

Unisex sizing means the shoe is designed to fit both men and women. Typically, women may need to size down by 1-1.5 sizes from their standard women's size to find the equivalent unisex fit. Always check the specific size chart provided by the retailer.

How durable is the rubber sole?

The rubber sole is designed for durability and provides superior traction, making it suitable for everyday wear and light athletic activities. With proper care, it should withstand regular use effectively.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Leather will naturally stretch and mold to your foot over time. Wearing them for short periods initially can help break them in. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate or if insoles are needed.

Squeaking noise from sole

This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers or the sole material. Ensure the shoes are dry. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help if the noise originates from there.

Color transfer from shoes to socks

This is more common with new, darker dyed shoes. It should reduce with wear. Washing the inside of the shoe or using a sock liner can mitigate this.

Difficulty cleaning stubborn marks

For leather, use a specialized leather cleaner. For rubber soles, a paste of baking soda and water can sometimes lift tough marks. Always test cleaning solutions on a small area first.

Care:

  1. Cleaning Leather: Wipe the leather exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
  2. Suede/Nubuck (if applicable): Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap.
  3. Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them separately.
  4. Sole: Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber.
  5. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  6. Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially for the lighter colorways.
