FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Mexico 66 Vintage trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and light activities. They do not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for intense running or athletic training.

How do I clean the suede and leather parts?

Use a soft brush for dust and a suede brush for the suede. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and a damp cloth for leather. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first and allow them to air dry naturally.

What does 'Vintage' refer to in the product name?

The 'Vintage' designation indicates that the design is inspired by or modeled after classic Onitsuka Tiger models from their historical archives, offering a retro aesthetic.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

While the leather and rubber offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Suede is particularly susceptible to water damage and staining.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the size chart provided by Onitsuka Tiger and measure your foot length. The product description mentions the UK size (e.g., UK 8.5). Consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary between brands and models.

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Vintage trainers are listed as unisex, suitable for wear by individuals of any gender.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is made of flat rubber, providing durability and grip suitable for everyday wear.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift and restore the nap of the suede. For stubborn dirt, use a suede cleaner according to product instructions.

Leather shows scuffs or minor marks

Gently buff the affected area with a soft, clean cloth. For deeper scuffs, a leather conditioner or cream matching the shoe's color may be used sparingly.

Shoes feel slightly tight

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Using thicker socks around the house can also help stretch them slightly. Avoid storing them in very cold conditions as this can make materials stiffer.

Discoloration from water exposure

Allow shoes to dry naturally. Watermarks on suede can sometimes be removed by brushing the entire panel evenly once dry.

Cons

  • Leather and suede may require specific cleaning and care.
  • Vintage style might not appeal to those preferring modern aesthetics.
  • Flat sole may not provide sufficient arch support for some individuals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The Mexico 66 Vintage trainers are designed as casual footwear and are compatible with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, shorts, and casual dresses. They are suitable for unisex wear.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For tougher marks on the leather and suede, use a specialized suede brush and a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
  • Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  • Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains, especially on the suede sections.
