FAQs

Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Vintage trainers true to size?

Generally, they are considered true to size for most individuals. However, due to the vintage last and materials, some find they run slightly narrow. It's recommended to check sizing charts and consider your foot width.

Can I wear these for running or sports?

While they are inspired by classic training shoes, the Mexico 66 Vintage is best suited for casual wear and light activities. They lack the advanced cushioning and support for rigorous athletic training or long-distance running.

How do I clean the suede parts?

Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stubborn stains, a suede cleaner or eraser can be used sparingly. Avoid water saturation.

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

The 'Vintage' designation typically implies a slightly modified aesthetic, often including pre-distressed elements or colorways designed to evoke an older, 'worn-in' look, while maintaining the core silhouette and materials of the original Mexico 66.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the leather and suede materials are not inherently waterproof. It is advisable to treat them with a water-repellent spray and avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.

What is the material of the sole?

The sole is made of rubber, designed for durability and traction suitable for everyday wear.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from soles

This can sometimes occur with new rubber soles. Try walking on different surfaces or gently flexing the sole to see if it subsipates. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help if the sound originates from there.

Leather or suede looks dull

Use a suede brush to restore the nap of the suede. For leather, apply a small amount of shoe polish or leather conditioner according to product instructions.

Shoes feel too tight

Leather and suede will stretch slightly with wear. Wear them for short periods initially. If still too tight, consider using shoe trees or consulting a cobbler for professional stretching.

Discoloration from color transfer

This can happen if the shoes get wet. Ensure socks are colorfast. If transfer has occurred, try cleaning the affected area gently with a damp cloth or a specialized cleaner for the material.
