FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or athletic training?

The Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and style. While they offer comfort and some support, they are not specialized for intense athletic activities like running or rigorous training, which often require shoes with advanced cushioning and stability features.

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

Refer to the size chart provided by Onitsuka Tiger and measure your foot length accurately. Since UK sizing is specified, ensure your measurement corresponds correctly. The 'Gold Metallic' variant is unisex, so consider standard unisex sizing conversions.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the leather and maintain their appearance. Promptly dry them if they become damp.

What is the difference between 'Low Shoes' and 'Trainers' for the Mexico 66 model?

The 'Low Shoes' designation typically refers to a more minimalist, classic sneaker silhouette. 'Trainers' usually implies a slightly more robust construction or features geared towards everyday active use, though both retain the iconic Mexico 66 design. The specific variant 'D5V2L-9094-95' is labeled as 'Trainers'.

How should I clean the gold metallic accents?

Gently wipe the gold metallic parts with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes that could remove or scratch the finish. Specialized leather cleaners suitable for metallic finishes can be used with caution.

Do these shoes come in other colors?

The Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 model is available in a wide variety of colorways. The 'Gold Metallic' variant specifically features a black and gold combination, but other color options exist within the Mexico 66 series.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Leather can stretch slightly over time. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. If still uncomfortable, consider trying a half-size up.

Gold metallic finish losing its shine

Gently wipe the metallic parts with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive materials. For persistent dullness, consult specialized leather care products designed for metallic finishes, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Squeaking noise when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe. Try inserting a thin insert or talcum powder under the insole. Ensure the laces are properly tied if applicable to your model.

Leather scuffs or scratches

For minor scuffs, try buffing gently with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, a leather conditioner or color-matched shoe cream might help. Professional leather repair services are also an option.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for optimal fit.

Compatibility: The Mexico 66 trainers are designed for casual wear and are compatible with a wide range of everyday outfits. They are suitable for adults and can be worn by any gender.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the leather.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause the leather to crack or warp.
  3. 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.
  4. Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray to guard against stains and water damage, especially for the metallic accents.
