FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 is designed primarily as a lifestyle and casual sneaker. While comfortable for walking and light activities, they do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for serious running or high-impact athletic training.
How do I determine the correct size?
It's recommended to consult the official Onitsuka Tiger sizing guide, which usually provides measurements in centimeters or inches. Due to their unisex design, consider how men's and women's sizing might differ and check reviews for fit feedback.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather can withstand light moisture, these shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from heat sources.
What is the main difference between this and other Mexico 66 models?
The 'Gold Metallic' variant specifically refers to the colorway, featuring black with gold metallic accents. Other Mexico 66 models may differ in color, materials, or minor design elements, but retain the core iconic silhouette.
How durable is the rubber sole?
The rubber sole is designed for everyday wear and provides good traction. With regular care and avoiding excessive wear on rough surfaces, it should offer good durability for a lifestyle shoe.
Do these shoes have good arch support?
The Mexico 66 offers moderate, traditional cushioning. They are not specifically designed with high arch support features. Individuals requiring significant arch support may consider using custom or over-the-counter orthotic insoles.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off
Refer to the Onitsuka Tiger sizing chart for accurate measurements. Consider the unisex nature of the shoe and potential width differences. Trying them on in person or checking customer reviews for fit advice is recommended.
Scuffs or marks on leather
For minor scuffs, try a leather conditioner or a specialized leather cleaner. For tougher marks, consult professional shoe care services.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean. For persistent slipperiness on smooth indoor floors, consider a light scuffing of the sole with fine-grit sandpaper or a specific sole grip treatment, used sparingly.
Fraying laces or stitching
Inspect for loose threads and carefully trim any frayed stitching with small scissors. For significant damage, professional repair may be necessary.
