FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Mexico 66 trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light activities. They offer comfort and style but may not provide the advanced support or cushioning required for intense running.
How do I clean the 'Gold Metallic' finish?
Gently wipe the gold areas with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive rubbing, as this could damage the finish.
What is the main difference between Mexico 66 and other Onitsuka Tiger models?
The Mexico 66 is one of Onitsuka Tiger's most iconic models, known for its slim profile, vintage racing aesthetic, and signature tiger stripes. It often features a blend of leather and suede, with a focus on retro design.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, the leather upper is best kept dry. Prolonged exposure to rain may stain or damage the leather. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy wet conditions.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the Onitsuka Tiger sizing chart and measure your foot. Many users find they fit true to size, but considering the slim profile, if you are between sizes or have wider feet, sizing up might be comfortable.
What does 'anti-slip structure' mean for these shoes?
This refers to design features in the sole and construction intended to provide better traction and stability, reducing the likelihood of slipping on various surfaces.
Are there other color options available for the Mexico 66?
Yes, the Mexico 66 model is available in a wide variety of colorways, including the 'Gold Metallic' and other combinations of black, white, red, and blue.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear with thin socks initially, and use a shoe stretcher or wear them around the house for short periods to allow the leather to mold to your feet.
Stains on leather upper
Gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for colored leather, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Slipping occurs despite anti-slip feature
Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris. For very smooth surfaces, grip may be reduced. Consider the limitations of the anti-slip design on highly polished or wet surfaces.
Discoloration of 'Gold Metallic' finish
Avoid excessive rubbing or exposure to harsh cleaning agents. Store away from direct sunlight which can fade colors over time.
