FAQs
How do I clean the cream leather?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by conditioning to maintain the leather's suppleness.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Mexico 66 trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light activities. They offer comfort for walking and everyday use but lack the specialized support and cushioning required for serious running or high-impact sports.
How should I store my Onitsuka Tiger trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape, and keeping them in their original box or a dust bag can offer protection.
What is the fit like?
The fit is generally considered true to size for most wearers, but it's always recommended to consult the brand's sizing chart or try them on if possible, as individual foot shapes can vary.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The leather and gum rubber construction is not inherently waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, it's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and staining.
What is the main difference between Mexico 66 and other Onitsuka Tiger models?
The Mexico 66 is distinguished by its heritage design, particularly the slim profile, the prominent side stripes, and the split-design midsole which was innovative for its time. It's one of the brand's most iconic and historically significant models.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
Yes, the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 model is available in a wide variety of colorways, often featuring different combinations of uppers and stripe colors.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff
Apply a leather conditioner and wear the shoes for a short period to help them mold to your feet.
Soles appear dirty or scuffed
Clean the gum rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For scuffs, a magic eraser can sometimes be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces are worn
Replace the laces with new ones of a similar length and material for a fresh look and secure fit.
Discoloration on cream leather
Try to clean gently with a leather cleaner. If the discoloration is severe or from sun exposure, it may be difficult to fully remove.
