Product Information

Full details

The Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 trainers are for adults seeking a blend of retro athletic style and everyday comfort. Their key benefit lies in offering iconic design inspired by the 1968 Olympics, suitable for casual wear.

FAQs

Are the Mexico 66 trainers suitable for running?

The Mexico 66 are lifestyle sneakers inspired by running shoes from the past. While comfortable for walking and daily activities, they are not designed for performance running and lack the specialized support and cushioning required for intense athletic training.

How do I choose the right size?

It is recommended to consult the Onitsuka Tiger size chart available on their website or retail partner sites. Measuring your foot length and comparing it to the chart usually provides the most accurate sizing.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, suede, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.

How durable are the rubber soles?

The classic rubber tread is designed for durability in casual wear. Regular use will cause wear over time, but they are built to last for their intended purpose.

What is the difference between the leather and suede parts?

The main upper is typically crafted from leather for structure and durability, while suede is used for accents, reinforcing panels, or decorative elements, adding texture and a premium feel.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the materials used (leather and suede) are not inherently waterproof. While some treatments can offer water resistance, the shoes are not designed to be worn in wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound during walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the shoe. Try inserting a thin insert or powder under the insole, or ensure the laces are tied consistently.

Color transfer onto socks

New shoes, especially those with darker dyes, can sometimes transfer color. Wearing darker socks initially or washing the inside of the shoe with a slightly damp cloth and allowing it to dry thoroughly may help reduce this.

Material scuffing or marking

Leather can be polished to cover minor scuffs. For suede, a suede brush can often lift light marks. For deeper damage, consult a professional shoe repair service.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: Designed for adult men, they are compatible with a wide range of casual attire. They fit true to size for most users, but checking a size guide is recommended.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the leather and suede. For tougher stains, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used on the leather parts. Suede should be cleaned with a suede brush or eraser.
  2. Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray on the suede panels to guard against water and stains.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to maintain their shape and color.
