FAQs

Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Vintage suitable for running?

These sneakers are designed primarily for casual wear and lifestyle. While they offer good comfort for walking, they are not specialized running shoes and lack the advanced cushioning and support required for serious athletic training.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The shoes should fit snugly but comfortably. There should be a little room at the front, and your heel should not lift excessively when walking. Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements.

Can I machine wash these sneakers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.

How long does the leather upper typically last?

With proper care, the leather upper is durable and can last for several years of regular wear. Consistent cleaning and conditioning will prolong its life.

What is the main difference between the 'Vintage' and standard Mexico 66 models?

The 'Vintage' designation often implies a colorway or finish that evokes an older aesthetic, while the core construction and comfort features remain similar to the original Mexico 66 design.

Do these shoes come in other colours?

Yes, the Mexico 66 series is available in a wide range of colorways. The 'Birch Black' is one specific variant within the Vintage line.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Wear the shoes with thin socks for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet. If discomfort persists after the break-in period, consider if the size is correct.

Leather scuffs or marks appear

Gently clean with a damp cloth. For persistent marks, use a specialized leather cleaner. Minor scuffs may be a natural part of leather wear and can add character.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the soles are clean. For excessively slippery conditions, consider a cobbler for aftermarket grip enhancements, though this may alter the original aesthetic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear shoes straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the leather.
  3. Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to help guard against water and stains.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag.
