FAQs
Can I use these for running?
No, the Sabot version is designed for casual lifestyle wear and does not provide the heel security required for running.
How do I determine if 6.5 UK is the right size?
Since this is a slip-on model, you should choose your standard UK shoe size, ensuring your heel sits securely on the footbed.
Is the material waterproof?
The leather upper is not waterproof. It is recommended to avoid heavy rain and to use a leather protector spray if you plan to wear them in damp conditions.
Does the red and yellow color fade?
Like any pigmented leather, colors can fade with excessive sun exposure. Store them in a cool, shaded area when not in use.
Are these unisex?
While listed with specific gender attributes, the Mexico 66 series is known for its universal appeal; ensure you verify the size conversion if shopping across gender categories.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff upon first wear
Wear the shoes for short periods around the house to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot shape.
Foot sliding out while walking
Ensure you are wearing the correct size and consider using a thin insole if you feel you need extra volume reduction.
Scuff marks on the surface
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft eraser to gently buff out minor scuffs without damaging the vibrant color.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely easy to slip on and off
- Stylish and iconic retro colorway
- Durable leather upper
- Excellent for casual, everyday wear
Cons
- Open-heel design offers less stability than a full shoe
- Not suitable for high-intensity athletic performance
- May require breaking in the leather for optimal comfort
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Since these are slip-ons, no adjustment of laces is required. For the best fit, ensure you select your correct UK shoe size, as the open heel can make the shoe feel looser than a standard trainer. To care for your Onitsuka Tigers, wipe the leather upper with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If the shoes get wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the leather and the adhesives used in the construction.
