FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?

No, the Mexico 66 Sabot is designed for casual wear, walking, and light activities. It does not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for marathon running.

How do I maintain the white leather color?

Regularly wipe with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized white leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could discolor or damage the leather.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, these shoes are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and prolonged drying times.

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

The primary difference is the 'Sabot' design, which features an easier slip-on construction, often with elasticated laces or a heel that can be folded down, for added convenience compared to traditional lace-up models.

How durable is the rubber sole?

The rubber sole is designed for durability and comfort during everyday wear, providing good traction for walking and general activities. Its lifespan will depend on the frequency and intensity of use.

Is the 'White Navy' color accurate to the images?

Color representation can vary slightly based on screen settings. The 'White Navy' typically features a predominantly white upper with navy blue accents, staying true to the classic Onitsuka Tiger color blocking.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or stiff

This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to mold to your foot shape. You can also use a shoe stretcher or thicker socks to help expand the fit.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

The rubber sole may be slick when new or on polished surfaces. Walking on varied textures can help 'break in' the sole. If slipperiness persists on specific surfaces, consider a sole protector or avoid those conditions.

Difficulty removing shoe laces for cleaning

If the laces are difficult to remove, gently wiggle them back and forth. If they are very tight, consider using a small, flat tool to carefully pry them loose from the eyelets. Ensure you loosen them sufficiently before pulling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for unisex adult wear and are suitable for a range of activities including walking, casual running, and daily wear. They are compatible with most casual attire.

Care:
