FAQs

Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Vintage suitable for running?

While inspired by athletic heritage, these are best considered lifestyle trainers. They offer comfort for walking but lack the specialized support and cushioning needed for serious running.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Gently wipe the leather with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner, following product instructions.

What is the difference between Mexico 66 and Mexico 66 Vintage?

The 'Vintage' designation often implies a more authentic, perhaps slightly weathered aesthetic, closely mirroring the original releases. Functionally, they share the core design and comfort features.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear leather shoes like the Mexico 66 Vintage in heavy rain. Prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the leather and the shoe's structure.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the Onitsuka Tiger size chart for accurate measurements. Try them on indoors to ensure a comfortable fit before wearing them outside.

What materials are used in the 'Birch Black' version?

The primary material for the upper is leather, featuring the signature synthetic tiger stripes. The sole is typically made of rubber.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather

Some creasing is natural with leather. Avoid over-tightening laces and store properly. For significant creasing, consider shoe trees.

Squeaking sound

Squeaking can sometimes occur from friction within the shoe. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or to the tongue area.

Color transfer from stripes

In rare cases, the black stripes might transfer. Ensure shoes are completely dry before wearing. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, especially with light-colored socks.

Fit feels too snug/loose

Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the provided size chart. Lacing techniques can also help adjust the fit; try different lacing patterns.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for unisex adult wear and are compatible with a wide range of casual clothing styles. They are not intended for specialized athletic performance.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the shoes in water, as this can damage the leather.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with paper can help them retain their shape.
  3. Conditioning: For leather parts, occasionally use a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
