FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Slip-On is designed for comfort and casual wear. While they have athletic heritage, they do not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for intense running or athletic performance.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe the leather upper gently with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner and test on a small, hidden area first.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, the Mexico 66 Slip-On should not be put in a washing machine, as this can damage the leather and the shoe's construction.
How do I ensure a good fit with a slip-on style?
The slip-on design combined with internal elastic allows for a snug fit. Ensure your heel is comfortable and the shoe does not slip off when you walk. They may feel snug initially but should conform to your foot over time.
What is the main difference between the Mexico 66 and the Mexico 66 Slip-On?
The primary difference is that the Mexico 66 Slip-On features an elasticated inner and no laces, designed for easy on-and-off wear, while the standard Mexico 66 has traditional lacing for a more adjustable fit.
What does 'Birch Midnight' refer to?
'Birch Midnight' refers to the colorway of the shoe, with 'Birch' typically indicating a light, neutral tone for the main body, and 'Midnight' suggesting a dark color, like black or deep blue, for accents such as the stripes.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Leather can stretch slightly over time. Wear them for short periods initially, and they may loosen up. If still uncomfortable, consider if a larger size would be more suitable.
Dirt marks on the leather
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for the type of leather. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Laces are not a feature
This model is a slip-on and does not feature laces. The elasticated inner allows for a secure fit without laces.
