FAQs
Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 suitable for running?
While comfortable for walking and casual wear, the Mexico 66 is primarily a lifestyle sneaker. It does not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for serious running or high-impact athletic activities. For running, it's recommended to use shoes designed specifically for that purpose.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer or Onitsuka Tiger. It's generally recommended to measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the chart. Many find that this model fits true to size, but individual foot shape can vary.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The leather upper offers some protection, but these shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions can damage the leather and affect the shoe's structure. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in very wet weather or to use a waterproofing spray designed for leather.
How often should I clean my Mexico 66 trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed based on wear and appearance. For regular use, a quick wipe-down of the leather and soles after each wear can help maintain their condition. Deep cleaning should be done periodically or when significant dirt accumulates.
What is the main difference between the Mexico 66 and other Onitsuka Tiger models?
The Mexico 66 is distinguished by its iconic design, featuring the signature Tiger Stripes and a slim silhouette. It is one of the brand's most recognizable and classic models, often chosen for its heritage and style, whereas other models might focus on different design elements or specific athletic functionalities.
Is the black and white colorway available in other materials?
The classic Mexico 66 in black and white is primarily known for its leather upper. While variations may exist, the standard and most iconic version utilizes leather for its construction.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe or between the sole and the insole. Try inserting a talc-free powder or a thin insert to reduce friction. Ensure the laces are tied correctly.
Leather appears dry or scuffed
Apply a leather conditioner or polish suitable for black leather to restore moisture and cover minor scuffs. Use a soft cloth for application and buff gently.
Discoloration on white accents
Gently clean the white areas with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, a specialized shoe cleaner or a magic eraser can be used cautiously, testing on a small area first.
