FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Vintage are designed primarily as lifestyle and casual wear shoes. While they offer comfort, they are not engineered with the specific support and cushioning required for serious running or high-impact athletic activities.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Onitsuka Tiger or the retailer. Generally, measure your foot length and compare it to the corresponding UK size. The 'Birch Black' model is unisex, so consult the appropriate sizing guide.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the leather can be treated for water resistance, these shoes are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the material and ensure comfort.

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

The 'Vintage' designation typically indicates a model that replicates the look and feel of an original vintage shoe, sometimes with slightly altered materials or finishes to achieve an aged aesthetic. The core design and silhouette remain consistent with the classic Mexico 66.

How long does the leather typically take to break in?

The break-in period can vary from person to person, but most users find them comfortable after a few wears, typically within the first week or two of regular use.

Are there other colorways available for the Mexico 66 Vintage?

Yes, the Mexico 66 series, including Vintage iterations, comes in a variety of colorways. This guide specifically focuses on the 'Birch Black' model, but other options exist.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.

This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and mold to your feet. Wearing thicker socks during the break-in period can also help stretch them slightly.

Leather upper is dirty or scuffed.

Use a damp cloth with mild soap for light cleaning. For stubborn scuffs, a specialized leather cleaner or eraser may be used cautiously. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.

The rubber soles provide traction, but new shoes may have a slight coating. Wear them on varied surfaces to 'break in' the sole. If slipperiness persists on very smooth surfaces, consider a slip-resistant sole treatment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless and versatile design that complements various outfits.
  • High-quality leather construction ensures durability and a premium feel.
  • Comfortable for daily wear after a short break-in period.
  • Represents a piece of athletic footwear history.
  • Subtle colorway makes them easy to pair with different styles.

Cons

  • May require a break-in period for maximum comfort.
  • Leather requires specific care to maintain its condition.
  • Not designed for high-performance athletic activities; best suited for casual use.
  • Can be susceptible to scuffs and marks due to the light color of the upper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers require no assembly. Simply lace them up and they are ready for wear.

Compatibility:

The Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Vintage 'Birch Black' trainers are designed for unisex adult wear and are compatible with standard sock choices.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the leather upper. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to shield the shoes from water and stains, especially given the light 'Birch' color.
  • Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
