FAQs

Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 suitable for running?

While the Mexico 66 offers comfort for walking and casual wear, they are not designed as specialized running shoes. For high-impact athletic activities, consider footwear engineered specifically for sports performance.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Onitsuka Tiger or the retailer. It is often recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the UK sizing. Some users find they are true to size, while others may prefer to go up half a size for a little extra room.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, do not machine wash the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 trainers. This can damage the leather, suede, and sole construction. Cleaning should be done manually as described in the care instructions.

What is the main difference between the different Mexico 66 colorways?

The primary difference is the color and material accents. While the core design and construction remain consistent, colorways like blue, beige, or white offer distinct aesthetic variations. Some may feature secondary accent colors.

How durable are the leather and suede materials?

The leather and suede are selected for their quality and aesthetic appeal. With proper care, they offer good durability for casual wear. However, like most natural materials, they can be susceptible to wear and tear over time, especially with frequent or strenuous use.

What does the 'Mexico 66' name signify?

The name refers to the year 1966 when the design was first developed, and the '68' in the description likely references their debut or popularity around the 1968 Olympics.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Break them in gradually by wearing them for short periods. If the issue persists, consider if a different size or model might be more suitable.

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift and clean the nap. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner may be required.

Leather shows scuffs or marks

Gently buff out minor scuffs with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper marks, a leather conditioner or a colored polish matching the shoe's color may help.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the rubber tread is clean and free from debris. The grip may vary on highly polished or wet surfaces; exercise caution.

Compatibility: These trainers are highly compatible with casual attire such as jeans, shorts, and casual trousers. They are suitable for adult men.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather and suede surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For stubborn stains on suede, use a specialized suede brush.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Protection: Consider using a leather and suede protector spray to help repel water and stains, especially before wearing them in adverse weather conditions.
  4. Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to maintain their shape and protect them from dust.
