FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
The Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Slip-On is primarily designed for casual everyday wear. They are not intended for high-impact sports or intense athletic training, as they lack the specialized support and cushioning required for such activities.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Refer to the product description for the specific UK size. It is recommended to compare your foot measurements to a standard sizing chart or try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, these trainers should not be machine washed. Washing machines can damage the leather material and the construction of the shoe. Hand clean using a damp cloth as per the care instructions.
What is the main advantage of the slip-on design?
The main advantage is convenience. The slip-on design allows for quick and easy wearing without the need to tie laces, making them ideal for busy individuals or for a relaxed, casual look.
How durable is the leather material?
The shoes are crafted with quality leather, which is known for its durability. However, like all leather products, they require proper care and maintenance to ensure longevity and maintain their appearance.
What does the 'Mexico 66' in the name refer to?
The 'Mexico 66' designation refers to the historical Onitsuka Tiger model that inspired this design, originally released in 1966. It represents a classic and iconic part of the brand's heritage.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you have selected the correct size, referencing the UK sizing guide.
Leather shows signs of scuffing or marks
For minor scuffs, try using a specialized leather cleaner or a magic eraser gently. For deeper scuffs, a leather conditioner or cream polish in a matching color might help.
Slightly loose fit due to slip-on design
If the fit is slightly loose but the length is correct, consider using an insole or a heel grip insert for a more secure feel. Ensure the shoes are not too large to begin with.
