FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the Mexico 66 has heritage roots in running shoes, they are best suited as a lifestyle sneaker for everyday wear and light activity rather than for serious athletic training or long-distance running.
How do I determine my correct size?
It is recommended to consult the brand's sizing chart, as fit can vary. Consider measuring your foot length and comparing it to the provided measurements.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the leather, suede, and glue components. Hand cleaning as outlined in the care instructions is the safest method.
What is the main material of the shoe?
The upper is primarily made of premium leather, with beige suede accents on the T-shaped toecap. The iconic stripes are also leather.
How do the blue and red stripes differ from the rest of the shoe?
The blue and red elements are the signature Onitsuka Tiger stripes, which are made of leather and contrast with the white leather upper. They are a key design feature originating from the 1960s.
Where can I find the heritage branding?
Heritage Onitsuka Tiger branding is featured on the heel tab and as a woven tag on the tongue.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears scuffed or dirty.
Gently clean the leather with a damp cloth and a mild soap if necessary. For persistent marks, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for white leather.
Suede toecap looks matted or stained.
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.
Laces are dirty.
Remove laces and wash them separately by hand or in a laundry bag. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
Shoes feel slightly stiff.
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in. The premium leather will naturally soften and conform to your foot shape over time.
