FAQs

Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 suitable for running?

The Mexico 66 is designed primarily as a lifestyle and casual trainer, inspired by vintage running shoes. While they are lightweight and comfortable for walking, they do not offer the advanced support or cushioning required for serious running or athletic training.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Onitsuka Tiger or the retailer. Generally, measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the indicated measurements for UK sizes. The provided product information specifies this pair as a UK 9.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

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

What is the main difference between the Mexico 66 and other Onitsuka Tiger models?

The Mexico 66 is distinguished by its iconic design featuring the signature Tiger Stripes, a slimmer profile, and often a slightly lower heel compared to some other models. It's a foundational model in their heritage collection.

How durable is the leather on the Mexico 66?

The leather upper is designed for durability in casual wear. With proper care, such as regular cleaning and protection, the leather can maintain its appearance and integrity for a long time.

Are these trainers unisex?

Yes, the Mexico 66 model is typically considered unisex, suitable for both men and women, with sizing available across a broad range.

Troubleshooting

Leather scuff marks

Gently buff the scuff with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a dedicated leather eraser or a small amount of leather cleaner suitable for the shoe's color.

Slight odor after wear

Remove the insoles if possible and allow the shoes to air out completely. Using cedar shoe trees can help absorb moisture and odor. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight, then vacuum it out.

Laces are worn or dirty

Clean laces with mild soap and water, or replace them with new laces of a similar length and color to refresh the shoe's appearance.

Creasing on the leather

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the shoe's shape.
