FAQs

What is the best way to clean the black leather upper?

Gently wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth. For more significant dirt, use a cleaner specifically designed for leather, testing it on a small, hidden area first.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

It's recommended to consult the Onitsuka Tiger sizing chart and compare it with your foot measurements. Many users find they need to size up or down from their usual shoe size, so trying them on if possible is ideal.

Are these shoes suitable for running or intense sports?

The Mexico 66 are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. While they offer comfort and support for walking and light activities, they lack the specialized features and cushioning required for high-impact sports like running.

How should I store my Mexico 66 trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape, and keeping them in their original box or a dust bag can protect them.

What does the 'Mexico 66' name signify?

The 'Mexico 66' name refers to the year these iconic sneakers were first released, coinciding with the Mexico City Olympic Games.

Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?

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

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or too loose.

Refer to the sizing chart and consider trying a half or full size up or down, as fit can vary. Ensure laces are adjusted appropriately for a snug but comfortable fit.

Leather appears dry or scuffed.

Apply a leather conditioner regularly to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. For minor scuffs, a leather polish of the appropriate color can often conceal them.

Soles are showing signs of wear.

While normal wear is expected, excessive wear may indicate an improper gait or overuse. Ensure the shoes are used for their intended purpose (casual wear, light activity).

Odors developing inside the shoe.

Remove the insoles (if possible) and air out the shoes regularly. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or insert to absorb moisture and combat odors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size before wearing them for extended periods.

Compatibility: The Mexico 66 trainers are designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. They pair well with jeans, shorts, and athletic apparel. They are compatible with a wide range of everyday outfits.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Leather: Wipe the leather upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
  2. Cleaning the Soles: Use a soft brush or an old toothbrush to clean the rubber soles and remove any embedded dirt. A mild soap and water solution can be used for stubborn grime.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight, as this can damage the leather and adhesives.
  4. Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and moisture. Consider using shoe trees to maintain their shape.
