FAQs
What material are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 trainers made of?
These trainers are crafted from premium leather.
How should I clean my Mexico 66 trainers?
Gently wipe the leather with a slightly damp, soft cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner. Allow them to air dry naturally and avoid direct heat.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?
While inspired by athletic heritage, the Mexico 66 model is primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle use, offering comfort and style rather than specialized athletic support.
What does the 'Prussian Blue Habanero Red' colorway mean?
This refers to the specific colors used on the trainers: Prussian Blue for the main body and Habanero Red for the iconic stripes and detailing.
How do I ensure a good fit?
Refer to the size guide for accurate measurements. These trainers are designed for a standard fit, but leather shoes may require a short break-in period.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Consider using a leather protectant spray to add a layer of water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or stiff
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and conform to your foot shape. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period or trying a leather stretching spray if the issue persists.
Scuff marks on the leather
For minor scuffs, try a specialized leather cleaner or a leather conditioner. For deeper marks, a professional leather repair service might be necessary. Regular conditioning can help prevent such marks.
Discoloration from water exposure
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, use a leather conditioner to restore moisture and color. Test any cleaning or conditioning products on an inconspicuous area first.
