FAQs
What material is the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 made of?
The Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 features a premium calf leather upper with leather overlays and iconic textile tiger stripes.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by running shoes, the Mexico 66 is primarily a lifestyle sneaker designed for comfort and style in everyday wear. They are not recommended for intense athletic training or competitive running.
How should I clean the metallic gold leather?
Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a dedicated mild leather cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive water.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Sizing can vary slightly. It is recommended to check available size charts and consider trying them on if possible. Many users find they fit true to size, but some may prefer a half-size up or down depending on foot width.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The leather upper is not waterproof. While the outsole offers traction, prolonged exposure to wet conditions is not recommended. Consider treating the leather with a water-repellent spray for added protection.
What is the main difference between the Mexico 66 and other Onitsuka Tiger models?
The Mexico 66 is one of Onitsuka Tiger's most iconic models, distinguished by its slim profile, classic racing aesthetic, and distinctive heel wrap. It's a heritage shoe that has maintained its popularity for decades.
How do I store my Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Keeping them in their original box or a dust bag is also beneficial.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing excessively
Ensure proper fit. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape. Avoid over-tightening laces.
Slight scuffs on metallic finish
Gently buff the affected area with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper scuffs, a specialized leather balm or color-matched polish may be used with caution.
Discomfort or rubbing
Break in the shoes gradually. Ensure laces are tied appropriately without being too tight or too loose. Check for any internal seams or debris causing irritation.
Traction seems reduced
Clean the outsole with water and a brush to remove embedded dirt or debris. Ensure the sole is dry before use.
