FAQs
Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Vintage Birch Black suitable for running?
While inspired by athletic shoes, the Mexico 66 is primarily a lifestyle sneaker. It offers comfort for walking and casual wear but is not designed for intense running or specialized athletic training.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Always brush in one direction.
What is the difference between this model and other Mexico 66 variations?
The Vintage Birch Black model features a specific colorway using cow leather and suede, with a vintage finish. Other variations might use different materials, colors, or have slight design differences like slip-on closures.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Generally, Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 trainers are considered to run true to size for most people. However, it is always recommended to check the brand's specific sizing chart and consider trying them on if possible.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
The leather and suede materials are not waterproof. While they can tolerate light splashes, prolonged exposure to rain is not recommended and may lead to damage or discoloration. Applying a protective spray can help.
What is the purpose of the heel-cross reinforcement?
The heel-cross reinforcement provides added stability and support to the heel area, enhancing comfort and durability during wear.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather or suede
Some creasing is natural with leather and suede. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and use shoe trees for storage.
Discoloration from water exposure
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Use a suede eraser for suede and a damp cloth for leather. Avoid soaking.
Traction seems low on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides traction, but performance can be reduced on very wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
