FAQs

What materials are the Mexico 66 Vintage trainers made from?

These trainers are crafted from a combination of leather and suede, providing a vintage look and feel.

Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?

The Mexico 66 Vintage trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they draw inspiration from athletic shoes, they are not intended for high-impact sports or rigorous training.

How should I clean the suede parts of the shoes?

For suede, it's best to use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and a suede cleaner for stains. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

The 'White Directoire Blue' is a specific colorway. Onitsuka Tiger offers the Mexico 66 series in a variety of colors and styles, which may include other options.

What does 'Vintage' mean in the product name?

The 'Vintage' designation refers to the design aesthetic, inspired by original Onitsuka Tiger models from the past. It signifies a retro style rather than the age of the product itself.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Refer to the sizing guide provided by the retailer. These are unisex trainers, so consult measurements for both men's and women's sizing if applicable, and consider the UK sizing provided (e.g., UK 9).

Can the insoles be removed for orthotics?

Typically, casual trainers like these have lightly attached or glued-in insoles. While some may be removable with care, it's not guaranteed. Check specific product details or consult the manufacturer if this is a critical requirement.

Troubleshooting

Suede appearing dirty or matted

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.

Leather creases or scuffs appearing

Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper creases, condition the leather with a suitable leather conditioner.

Shoe odor

Ensure shoes are properly aired out between wears. Use cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and odor. Baking soda can also be used inside the shoes overnight for deodorizing.

Slight discomfort during initial wear

Allow a break-in period of a few wears. Wear with appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is correct or if the shoe's flat profile is suitable for your foot type.
