FAQs

Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 true to size?

Most users find them to fit true to size. However, it's always recommended to check sizing charts and consider trying them on if possible, as foot shape can vary.

Can I wear these for running?

While inspired by classic running shoes, the Mexico 66 are primarily designed as lifestyle or casual wear sneakers. They are not recommended for serious athletic training or running.

How do I clean the cream leather?

Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For stains, a dedicated leather cleaner for light-colored leather is advised. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the leather and construction are not inherently waterproof. They can withstand light moisture, but prolonged exposure to rain is not recommended without a suitable waterproofing treatment.

What is the main difference between colorways?

The main difference is the color combination of the upper and the signature stripes. The core design, materials (usually leather), and sole are consistent across the Mexico 66 series.

How durable is the gum rubber sole?

The gum rubber sole is known for its durability and provides good traction for everyday use. It is designed to withstand regular wear and tear.

What kind of socks should I wear with these?

You can wear various types of socks, from no-show socks for a cleaner look to athletic or casual socks. If wearing thin white socks, be mindful of potential color transfer from the stripes, especially when new.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or ensuring the insole is properly seated.

Color transfer from stripes

Ensure the shoes are dry. If color transfer occurs onto socks, it may be a result of dye settling; repeated wear or washing the socks may resolve this. Avoid wearing light-colored socks until this is no longer an issue.

Leather creasing

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize excessive creasing, ensure proper fit and use shoe trees when not in use.

Traction feels slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the gum rubber sole is clean and free from debris. For very smooth or wet surfaces, take extra caution as with any footwear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless and versatile design that pairs with many outfits.
  • Comfortable for extended wear due to the cushioned midsole.
  • Durable construction with a quality leather upper.
  • Good traction provided by the gum rubber sole.
  • Iconic branding and sporty aesthetic.

Cons

  • Leather material may require specific cleaning and care.
  • May not offer specialized support for intense athletic activities.
  • Can be perceived as a fashion item rather than a performance shoe.
  • Lighter color may show dirt more easily than darker variants.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear shoes. No specific setup is required beyond ensuring they fit correctly.

Compatibility: The Mexico 66 trainers are unisex and designed for adult foot sizes. They are compatible with various casual wear styles.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a leather cleaner specifically designed for cream or off-white leather may be used sparingly. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  2. Suede/Nubuck Care: If applicable to specific parts of the shoe, use a suede brush to restore texture and remove dry dirt.
  3. Sole Cleaning: Wipe the gum rubber sole with a damp cloth. For scuff marks, a magic eraser or a specialized sole cleaner can be effective.
  4. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing with paper can help maintain shape and absorb moisture.
  5. Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray to help repel water and stains, especially before wearing them in potentially wet conditions.
