FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The Mexico 66 trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and offer comfort for everyday activities. They are not intended for serious athletic performance like running, which requires specialized footwear for support and cushioning.

How do I clean the cream leather upper?

Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a dedicated leather cleaner, and always test on a small, hidden area first. Avoid soaking the leather.

Will these shoes stretch over time?

Leather can naturally adapt to the shape of your foot over time, offering a more personalized fit. However, significant stretching is unlikely if the correct size is purchased initially.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the gum rubber sole offers some grip, the leather upper is not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to treat them with a leather protector for some water resistance.

What is the main difference between the Mexico 66 and other Onitsuka Tiger models?

The Mexico 66 is one of Onitsuka Tiger's most iconic and historic models, known for its slim silhouette, distinct stripes, and introduction of key design elements that have influenced many subsequent models.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Onitsuka Tiger or the retailer. Measure your foot length and compare it to the UK sizing guide. The 'Cream Black' model is unisex, so consider standard men's or women's sizing as appropriate.

Are these trainers durable?

Yes, the Mexico 66 trainers are known for their durable construction, featuring quality leather and a robust gum rubber sole, making them suitable for regular use when properly cared for.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try inserting a powder insert or talcum powder inside the shoe to absorb moisture causing friction.

Leather creases or scuffs

Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth or a specialized leather conditioner. Deep creases are a natural part of leather wear; embrace them as part of the shoe's character.

Traction seems reduced

Ensure the gum rubber sole is clean and free from debris. For very worn soles, consider professional shoe repair advice.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you have the correct size. If new, wear them for short periods to break them in. Consider using thicker socks or moleskin patches on potential friction points.

Care:
