FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Mexico 66 Vintage is designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer. While inspired by running shoes, they do not offer the advanced cushioning or support required for serious athletic training or running.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. The fit should be snug but not tight, with ample room for slight foot expansion.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, glue, and overall structure of the shoe.

What is the primary material used in these trainers?

The primary material for the upper is leather, featuring distinctive Onitsuka Tiger stripes.

How do I clean the rubber sole?

Use a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap and water to clean the rubber sole. Wipe dry afterwards.

What does 'Vintage' mean in the product name?

The 'Vintage' designation refers to the design's inspiration and aesthetic, replicating the look and feel of the original 1966 model, rather than indicating the age of the product itself.

Are there other color options available?

Yes, the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 series comes in various colorways. While this guide focuses on 'Birch Black', other combinations are available in the Mexico 66 line.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing or cracking

Ensure the leather is kept moisturized with a leather conditioner. Avoid over-bending the shoes and store them properly when not in use.

Slight color transfer

This can occur with new footwear. Allow the shoes to air out. If persistent, consider a protective spray designed for leather and suede. Avoid wearing with light-colored socks until the issue resolves.

Uncomfortable fit

Ensure you have the correct size. Leather shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.

Difficulty cleaning stubborn marks

Use a specialized leather cleaner or a suede cleaner (depending on the material) for tougher stains. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
