FAQs

Are the Mexico 66 trainers suitable for running?

The Mexico 66 trainers are designed with a heritage running shoe aesthetic and are comfortable for everyday walking and light activity. They are not optimized for high-impact running or athletic training, lacking the specialized cushioning and support found in performance running shoes.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Clean the leather upper using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or soaking the shoes. For tougher stains, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used cautiously after testing on a small area.

What does 'Year of the snake' signify?

The 'Year of the snake' designation refers to a special edition design, often incorporating unique colorways or subtle motifs inspired by the Chinese zodiac year. It adds a distinctive collectible element to the classic Mexico 66 silhouette.

How should I store my trainers when not in use?

Store your Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or the original box can help maintain their shape and protect them.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent damage to the leather and ensure comfort. Consider using a water-repellent spray for added protection.

What is the typical fit of the Mexico 66?

The Mexico 66 generally runs true to size for most wearers, featuring a relatively slim profile. However, individual foot shapes vary, so consulting the size guide or trying them on is recommended for the best fit.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and adjust the fit. If the tightness persists, consider using shoe stretchers or professional shoe resizing services. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the size chart.

Leather shows scuffs or marks

Gently clean the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a specialized leather cleaner might be effective. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the soles are clean. If the slipperiness persists, especially on wet surfaces, consider having anti-slip sole protectors added by a cobbler.

Laces fraying

Replace the laces with a new pair of similar length and material. Onitsuka Tiger or other reputable shoe stores offer replacement laces.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or soaking the shoes in water.

  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
  • Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray to guard against stains and water damage, especially for the 'Year of the snake' special edition.
