FAQs

Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 suitable for running?

The Mexico 66 is primarily a lifestyle sneaker inspired by running shoes. While comfortable for walking and light activity, they are not designed for serious running or high-impact athletic performance.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the Onitsuka Tiger sizing chart for accurate measurements. It is also recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly between individuals.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, suede, and sole construction. Hand clean them using the methods described in the care instructions.

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

The Mexico 66 is distinguished by its slim silhouette, iconic side stripes, and heritage design inspired by the 1968 Olympics, offering a classic, retro look.

How durable are the rubber soles?

The classic rubber tread is designed for durability in everyday use. However, excessive wear on abrasive surfaces can eventually reduce their lifespan.

Do these trainers come in different widths?

The standard Mexico 66 model is typically offered in a regular width. Specific width options may vary by region and release.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the sole and insole. Try inserting a thin sock liner or ensuring the laces are tied correctly.

Discomfort during initial wear

The Mexico 66 often requires a short break-in period. Wear them for increasingly longer periods to allow the materials to mold to your feet.

Scuff marks on leather or suede

Use a specialized leather or suede cleaner appropriate for the material. For minor scuffs, a soft eraser can sometimes be effective on suede.
