Product Information

Full details

The Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Sabot 'White Navy' is designed for adults seeking a blend of classic athletic style and modern convenience. Its primary benefit is the easy slip-on design combined with the comfortable and durable rubber sole, making it ideal for everyday wear. A potential caveat is that the slip-on nature might offer a less secure fit for high-impact activities compared to traditional lace-up trainers. This sneaker offers a sleek silhouette inspired by the 1960s, featuring a white colorway with blue accents, providing a versatile and stylish option for casual outings and light athletic pursuits.

FAQs

Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Sabot suitable for running?

While inspired by running shoe designs, the slip-on nature of the Sabot model is best suited for casual wear, walking, and light activities. For serious running, a lace-up model with a more secure fit is recommended.

How do I choose the correct size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart and your typical shoe size. Since these are slip-on, if you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size for more room, or the smaller size for a snugger fit, depending on your preference.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially the leather components. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning.

What is the difference between the Mexico 66 and the Mexico 66 Sabot?

The primary difference is the construction: the Mexico 66 features traditional laces for a secure fit, while the Mexico 66 Sabot has a slip-on design for ease of wear, removing the laces entirely.

How durable is the rubber sole?

The rubber sole is designed for durability and provides good traction for everyday use and light activities. Its longevity will depend on the frequency and intensity of wear.

Are these waterproof?

These trainers are not waterproof. They are designed for dry to mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or water may damage the materials.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too loose

As these are slip-on, a slightly looser feel is inherent. For a snugger fit, consider wearing thicker socks or using an aftermarket insole for added volume.

Slight rubbing on the heel

This can occur with new shoes. Wear them with socks for a few days to break them in. If the issue persists, a small blister plaster on the heel area of the shoe or your foot may help.

Dirt on the white sole

Use a damp cloth and mild soap to gently scrub the rubber sole. A magic eraser can also be effective on stubborn scuffs, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Discoloration from sun exposure

Avoid leaving the shoes in direct sunlight for extended periods. If discoloration occurs, it is often permanent. Store them properly to prevent future fading.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Mexico 66 Sabots:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the leather and synthetic upper with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth.
  2. Cleaning the Sole: Use a brush or damp cloth to clean dirt from the rubber sole. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can cause discoloration or material damage.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and moisture.
