FAQs

Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 suitable for running?

While they offer comfort for walking and light activity, the Mexico 66 are primarily lifestyle trainers and not designed for high-performance running. They lack the specialized cushioning and support features of dedicated running shoes.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer or Onitsuka Tiger. Generally, for trainers, it's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the brand's sizing guide. Some users prefer to go half a size up for a more relaxed fit.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The leather upper offers some resistance, but these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain can damage the leather and affect the shoe's structure. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions and to dry them thoroughly if they get damp.

How often should I clean my Mexico 66 trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed, depending on usage and exposure to dirt. A light wipe-down after each wear can help maintain their appearance. Deep cleaning should be done when significant dirt accumulates.

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

The Mexico 66 is distinguished by its specific silhouette, featuring the original 'Tiger Stripes' and a split-sole design for flexibility. Other models may have different historical inspirations, materials, or design elements.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

Yes, the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 model is available in a wide variety of colorways, including combinations with yellow stripes and different base colors, as well as solid color options.

Troubleshooting

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 to apply and buff.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the rubber soles are clean and free from dirt or debris. For enhanced grip on slick surfaces, consider using a sole grip spray designed for shoes, though this is a temporary solution.

Interior comfort is lacking for long periods

Consider using aftermarket insoles or supportive inserts designed for casual shoes to enhance cushioning and arch support.

Laces are worn or dirty

Replace worn laces with new ones of a similar length and material. Clean existing laces by hand-washing them with mild detergent and air-drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no setup; they are ready to wear straight out of the box.

Compatibility: The Mexico 66 is designed for general adult wear and pairs well with a wide range of casual clothing. It is compatible with most standard sock types.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Leather: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner, following the product's instructions.
  2. Cleaning the Soles: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to clean the rubber soles. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
  3. Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight, as this can damage the leather and adhesives.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box to protect them from dust and light.
