FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or athletic training?

The Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Vintage is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear sneaker. While comfortable for walking and light activity, it does not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for intense athletic training or running.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer or Onitsuka Tiger. These are unisex shoes, so consider comparing your UK, EU, or US size and consult any fit recommendations specific to the Mexico 66 model.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and construction of the shoe. Hand wash and air dry as per the care instructions.

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

The 'Vintage' designation often implies a slightly more worn-in aesthetic or specific material treatments. Both models share the iconic design, but 'Vintage' versions might have subtle differences in finish or material feel.

How should I store these shoes when not in use?

Store your Mexico 66 Vintage trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with acid-free paper can help maintain their shape.

Is the 'Birch Black' colorway available in other styles?

Onitsuka Tiger offers various styles within the Mexico 66 line, and similar colorways may be available in different models like slip-ons or varying constructions. Check the full product catalog for similar options.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and mold to your feet. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase if needed.

Leather appears dry or scuffed

Clean the affected area with a damp cloth. Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or polish specifically designed for leather footwear to restore moisture and cover minor scuffs. Allow to dry completely.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris. If the issue persists on very smooth or wet surfaces, consider that this model is designed for general casual wear and may not offer specialized grip for all conditions.

Compatibility: The Mexico 66 Vintage is designed as a unisex casual trainer, compatible with a wide range of casual attire. It pairs well with denim, chinos, shorts, and athleisure wear.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: For the leather upper, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For stubborn stains, a specialized leather cleaner may be used sparingly.
  • Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  • Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray to guard against water and stains. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
