FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Vintage trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and offer comfort for everyday activities like walking. They are not optimized for high-impact running or professional athletic training.

How do I clean the leather and suede parts?

For leather, use a damp cloth and a leather conditioner. For suede, use a suede brush or eraser. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh chemicals.

What is the main difference between vintage and modern Mexico 66 models?

The vintage models often feature specific colorways and material treatments inspired by the original designs, aiming for an authentic retro look. Modern versions might incorporate updated materials or slightly modified designs for current trends.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the shoes are durable, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended, especially for the suede components. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions to preserve their material and appearance.

Are these trainers true to size?

Generally, the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 trainers fit true to size. However, personal preference for snugness or extra room can vary. It is recommended to consult the brand's sizing chart and read user reviews for specific fit feedback.

What is the warranty on these trainers?

Warranty information typically varies by retailer and region. Please check the product packaging or the retailer's website where you purchased the shoes for specific warranty details.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Try wearing them with thinner socks or consider using a shoe stretcher for a wider fit. If the issue persists, ensure you have the correct size; refer to sizing charts.

Suede looks dull or stained

Use a dedicated suede eraser to gently remove marks. For persistent stains, a specialized suede cleaner may be necessary. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.

Leather shows scuff marks

Light scuff marks can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper scuffs, use a leather conditioner or a color-matched polish.

Soles feel slippery

Ensure the soles are clean and free of debris. For new shoes, the soles can sometimes have a slippery coating; this usually wears off with use. If the issue continues, consider a shoe repair professional for sole treatment.
