FAQs

Are these suitable for running or sports?

The Mexico 66 Vintage 'Birch Black' are primarily lifestyle trainers. While comfortable for walking, they are not designed for high-impact sports or serious athletic training.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

What does 'Vintage' mean in the product name?

The 'Vintage' designation typically refers to a style that evokes an older aesthetic, often with materials or finishes that suggest a classic or slightly worn look, rather than indicating actual age.

How should I store these trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Using a shoe tree or stuffing them with acid-free paper can help maintain their shape.

What is the primary color and secondary color?

The primary color is 'Birch' (a shade of white), and the secondary color is 'Black' used for the signature Tiger Stripes and accents.

Are these trainers unisex?

Yes, the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 series, including this model, is generally designed with a unisex fit.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels too tight or too loose

Consult the Onitsuka Tiger sizing chart and compare with your measurements. Consider trying a half-size up or down if possible. Break-in period may also adjust fit slightly.

Leather creasing or scuffing

Minor creasing is natural with leather. Use a leather conditioner to keep the material supple. For scuffs, try a leather eraser or a matching color shoe polish.

Sole becoming detached

For minor separation, a strong shoe adhesive designed for rubber and leather can be used. For significant detachment, professional repair may be necessary.

Discoloration of the material

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Clean with appropriate leather cleaners only. Certain chemicals can cause discoloration.
