FAQs

What material are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 trainers made of?

These trainers are crafted from a combination of leather and suede.

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

The Mexico 66 is designed primarily as a lifestyle and casual training shoe. While comfortable for light activities, they are not optimized for high-impact sports.

How should I clean the suede parts of the shoes?

Use a suede brush to clean suede. For stains, specific suede cleaners are recommended, followed by brushing to restore the texture.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Generally, Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 shoes are reported to run true to size for most individuals. It is recommended to check size charts and consider trying them on if possible.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, suede is susceptible to water damage. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to treat them with a water-repellent spray.

What is the main difference between the 'Vintage' and standard models?

The 'Vintage' designation often refers to a specific colorway or a slightly modified aesthetic that evokes a retro feel, while the core construction and materials remain similar to the original classic design.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try wearing them for longer periods to break them in, or gently loosening the laces.

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consult specialized suede cleaning products.

Laces are difficult to tie or come undone

Ensure laces are threaded correctly and consider using a double knot for extra security.
