FAQs

Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Vintage suitable for running?

While inspired by running shoes, the Mexico 66 Vintage is primarily a lifestyle sneaker designed for comfort and style during everyday wear. It is not recommended for high-impact running or athletic training.

How do I determine my correct size?

It is recommended to check the brand's specific sizing chart, as sizing can vary. Generally, measure your foot length and compare it to the chart. Many users find they are true to size, but some suggest going up half a size if you have wider feet.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

The leather material is not inherently waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, they are not suitable for heavy rain or puddles. It's best to avoid wearing them in wet conditions and ensure they are dried properly if they get damp.

What is the difference between Mexico 66 and Mexico 66 Vintage?

The 'Vintage' designation typically refers to models that are designed to have a pre-worn or retro look, sometimes with slightly altered materials or construction to evoke an older style. The core design remains similar.

How should I clean the black Tiger Stripes?

Use a damp cloth with mild soap to gently wipe the stripes. Avoid harsh scrubbing, which could damage the material or the color.

What is the warranty period for these shoes?

Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer at the point of sale. Please check the product packaging or the retailer's website for specific warranty details.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Leather shoes will often stretch and mold to your feet over time. Wear them for short periods initially, and consider using thicker socks during the break-in period.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

The rubber soles may be less effective on wet or highly polished surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean and dry. For increased grip, consider consulting a cobbler about adding traction pads.

Color transfer from stripes to socks or pants

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. It is recommended to wear darker socks initially and consider using a protective spray specifically designed for footwear.

Leather showing signs of creasing or stiffness

Regularly condition the leather with a suitable leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent excessive creasing. Store them properly when not in use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers require no setup. They are ready to wear right out of the box.

Compatibility:

The Mexico 66 Vintage is designed as a unisex adult shoe, compatible with standard UK adult sizing. It is suitable for general everyday use.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and grime. For tougher stains, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  • Suede/Nubuck Areas: If applicable to specific parts of the shoe, use a suede brush to restore texture and remove surface dirt.
  • Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them separately with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely.
  • Drying: Never use direct heat sources (like radiators or hairdryers) to dry the shoes, as this can damage the leather. Allow them to air dry at room temperature.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, away from direct sunlight.
