FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Onitsuka Tiger MEXICO 66 trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While they have athletic roots, they do not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for serious running.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Onitsuka Tiger or the retailer. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the chart. Many users find them true to size, but slight variations can occur.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is advisable to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain. The leather and suede materials are not waterproof and can be damaged or discolored by excessive moisture.

How often should I clean my trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed, depending on usage. For daily wear, a quick wipe-down with a dry cloth can suffice. Deeper cleaning, especially for suede, should be done periodically or when noticeable dirt appears.

What is the primary material used in the upper?

The upper is constructed from a combination of leather and suede paneling, offering a blend of durability and classic retro aesthetics.

Do these shoes come in other colors?

Yes, the Onitsuka Tiger MEXICO 66 series is available in a wide range of colors and combinations. This guide focuses on the blue striped variant, but other options exist.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound from shoes

This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts. Try loosening the laces slightly or applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.

Leather creasing

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use. Avoid bending the shoes excessively.

Discoloration of suede

Suede can be sensitive to moisture and certain substances. Clean gently with a suede brush. If stained, consult a specialized suede cleaner. Avoid wearing in heavy rain.

Sole feels stiff

New shoes may feel stiff. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Flexing the shoes manually before wearing can also help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct UK size for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility: The MEXICO 66 trainers are designed for adult men and pair well with a variety of casual clothing, including jeans, shorts, and track pants.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather and suede surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher spots, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Suede Care: Use a specialized suede brush to maintain the texture and remove light dirt. Protectants can help repel water and stains.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
