FAQs

Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 suitable for running?

While inspired by running shoes, the Mexico 66 is primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. For serious running or athletic training, specialized performance running shoes are recommended.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the brand's official sizing chart, typically available on their website or from retailers. Measure your foot length and compare it to the chart. The UK 7.5 listed refers to a specific size.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended for leather trainers as it can damage the material, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.

What is the main difference between the 'Birch Peacoat' and other colorways?

The 'Birch Peacoat' typically refers to a specific color combination, often featuring beige (Birch) and blue (Peacoat) accents. Other colorways will vary in their specific hue combinations.

How durable is the goatskin material?

Goatskin is known for its softness, flexibility, and strength. With proper care, it can be very durable and long-lasting, developing a unique character over time.

What is the purpose of the OrthoLite® insole?

The OrthoLite® insole provides enhanced cushioning, long-term resilience, and moisture management, contributing to overall comfort and foot support.

Troubleshooting

Initial stiffness

New leather shoes may feel stiff at first. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape. Using a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.

Water stains on leather

If the leather gets wet, blot away excess moisture immediately with a dry cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, apply a suitable leather protector spray to prevent future staining.

Slight color transfer

Dye transfer can occur, especially with darker colors or when the shoes are wet. Wear with dark socks initially and consider using a suede or leather protector spray to minimize transfer.

Odors

Remove the insole and allow both the insole and the shoe interior to air out completely. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or place baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the goatskin upper with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For minor marks, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, as this can damage the leather.
  • Cleaning the Sole: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to clean the rubber sole.
  • Insole Care: The OrthoLite® insole can often be removed for airing out. Spot clean with a damp cloth if necessary, and allow it to dry completely before reinserting.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
