FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Vintage trainers are designed for casual wear and comfort. While inspired by athletic heritage, they are not optimized for high-impact running or professional athletic training.

How do I determine my size?

These are unisex trainers. It is recommended to consult the brand's sizing chart for Onitsuka Tiger and measure your foot to find the best UK size. Comparing with other trainers you own might also be helpful.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, suede, and construction of the shoe.

How should I store my Mexico 66 trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or bag to protect them from dust and moisture. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.

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

The 'Vintage' designation often implies a color treatment or specific material finish designed to mimic well-worn, classic shoes, offering an intentionally aged aesthetic compared to newer iterations.

Are the 'White Directoire Blue' colors accurate to the product photos?

Color representation can vary slightly depending on screen calibration. The 'White Directoire Blue' typically features a white base with blue accents and stripes as shown in official product imagery.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or matted

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions.

Leather shows scuffs

For minor scuffs on the leather, try using a leather conditioner or a polish matching the shoe's color. For deep scuffs, professional shoe repair may be considered.

Sole feels slippery

Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris. For persistent slipperiness, consider a shoe repair shop for grip-enhancing treatments, though this is uncommon for new shoes.

Laces are worn

Replace worn laces with a new pair of similar length and material. Ensure they are tied securely but not overly tight to avoid undue stress on eyelets.
