FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These are lifestyle trainers inspired by archival sports shoes; they are not intended for long-distance running or high-impact athletic performance.
How do I maintain the vibrant yellow color?
Keep them away from harsh cleaning chemicals and direct, prolonged sunlight, which can cause the color to fade over time.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, most Mexico 66 models feature removable insoles, allowing you to use custom orthotics if needed.
Is the leather water-resistant?
While the leather is durable, it is not waterproof. It is recommended to treat them with a water-repellent spray specifically designed for leather footwear.
How should I store them when not in use?
Store them in a well-ventilated area, ideally using a shoe tree to help maintain the shape of the leather upper.
Troubleshooting
Leather showing scuffs or dirt
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft, damp cloth to gently buff out marks.
Laces becoming loose during the day
Double-knot the laces or ensure the eyelets are free of debris to maintain tension.
Shoe feels too tight
Adjust the lacing tension throughout the mid-foot area to allow for a wider fit.

To ensure your Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 trainers last, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid harsh detergents that may stain the yellow finish.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking and color fading.
