FAQs

Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 suitable for running?

While inspired by training shoes, the Mexico 66 Vintage models are best suited for casual wear and light activities. They are not designed for high-impact running or specialized athletic training.

How do I clean the leather and suede parts?

Use a damp cloth and mild soap for the leather. For suede, use a suede brush or eraser. Always air dry away from heat.

What is the fit like on the Mexico 66?

The fit is generally considered true to size for most users, but it's always recommended to check the brand's specific sizing chart and consider trying them on if possible, as individual foot shapes can vary.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

These trainers are not waterproof. While a protector spray can offer some resistance, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended and may damage the materials.

What does 'Vintage' mean in the product name?

The 'Vintage' designation typically refers to a design aesthetic that mimics older models, often incorporating specific colorways or subtle detailing reminiscent of the original releases, while still being a new product.

Is this shoe available in other colors?

The Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 series is available in a wide variety of colorways. This guide specifically focuses on the 'White Directoire Blue' variant, but other options exist.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe interior. Try inserting a powder-free dryer sheet under the insole or dusting the insole with talcum powder.

Stains on suede material

For fresh stains, gently blot with a clean, dry cloth. For dried dirt or scuffs, use a suede brush. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner may be necessary following product instructions.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. If the issue persists, check if the size is correct or consider using moleskin or bandages on potential friction points.
