FAQs
What are the Mexico 66 trainers made of?
The Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 trainers typically feature a leather upper, with synthetic or rubber soles. Specific materials can vary slightly by colorway and edition.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
No, the Mexico 66 are primarily designed as lifestyle and casual wear shoes. They are not built for the support and cushioning required for serious running or athletic training.
How do I clean the leather parts of the trainers?
Wipe the leather with a damp cloth. For stains, use a cleaner specifically designed for leather. Always test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Sizing can vary slightly. It is recommended to check customer reviews for specific feedback on sizing for this model or consult the brand's size guide.
Can I wear them in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, they are not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and prolonged drying times.
What is the main difference between the 'Cream Velvet Pine' and 'White' variants?
The 'Cream Velvet Pine' variant is described as using velvet material, while the 'White' variant (like the one specified with UK 9.5) uses leather. Colour schemes also differ.
How long does the leather take to break in?
Leather trainers usually require a short break-in period. Wearing them for short durations initially will help them mould to your feet for optimal comfort.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and try re-lacing them, ensuring they are not tied too tightly. Wear with thinner socks. Leather may stretch slightly with wear.
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction. Try inserting a powder (like talcum powder) under the insole or between the tongue and laces. Ensure laces are not rubbing excessively.
Leather scuffs or marks
For minor scuffs, try using a leather conditioner or a specialized leather cleaner. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Discoloration of the material
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean with appropriate mild cleaners and allow to dry naturally.

Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains on leather, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Drying: If they get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag to protect them from dust and damage. Avoid storing in plastic bags which can trap moisture.
