FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or athletic training?

The Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 are designed with a retro athletic aesthetic and are best suited for casual wear, walking, and light daily activities. They do not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for intense sports or long-distance running.

How should I clean the leather and suede parts of the shoes?

For leather, use a damp cloth and mild soap, then wipe dry. For suede, use a suede brush or eraser. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh cleaning agents. Always air dry away from heat.

What is the primary material of the Mexico 66 trainers?

The shoes are primarily constructed from leather and suede, contributing to their vintage look and feel.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the shoes are durable for everyday wear, it is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions, as moisture can damage the leather and suede materials and affect their longevity.

Do these trainers come in different colors?

The Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 series is available in a variety of colorways, including the 'White Directoire Blue' featured here, as well as other classic and contemporary options.

How do I find the right size?

These trainers are available in unisex adult UK sizes. It is recommended to consult a size chart or try them on if possible to ensure a comfortable fit, as sizing can vary between brands.

Troubleshooting

Suede becoming dirty or matted

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective.

Leather showing scuffs or marks

Clean with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild leather cleaner. Allow to dry completely and consider using a leather conditioner if needed.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct size. For initial wear, break them in gradually by wearing them for short periods. Using thicker socks can sometimes help stretch them slightly, but avoid over-stretching.

Soles appear worn

For moderate wear, check if resoling services are available from a local cobbler. Significant wear may indicate the need for replacement.
