FAQs

Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 suitable for running?

While inspired by running shoes, the Mexico 66 are primarily lifestyle sneakers. They offer comfort for walking and light activities but are not designed for high-impact or performance running.

How do I clean the blue Onitsuka stripes?

Gently wipe the stripes with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking or using harsh cleaners, which could cause the color to bleed or fade.

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

The Mexico 66 is distinguished by its specific silhouette, the prominent Onitsuka Tiger stripes, and its historical connection to the 1960s Olympics, making it one of the brand's most iconic and recognizable designs.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the leather can be treated for water resistance, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the leather and maintain their condition.

How does the sizing run for the Mexico 66?

Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 generally run true to size for most people. However, slight variations can occur. It's recommended to check the brand's specific size chart and consider trying them on if possible.

Is the goat leather used in the Mexico 66 durable?

Yes, goat leather is known for its strength and durability. However, like all fine leather, it requires proper care and maintenance to ensure its longevity and preserve its luxurious appearance.

What does 'Birch Peacoat' refer to in the color description?

'Birch Peacoat' describes the colorway. 'Birch' typically refers to a light, neutral beige tone, while 'Peacoat' suggests darker navy blue accents, creating an elegant contrast.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing excessively

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and avoid over-stuffing the shoes. Using shoe trees can help maintain shape when not in use.

Discoloration from cleaning products

Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area of the shoe first. Use products specifically designed for goat leather and follow instructions carefully.

Soles becoming slippery

Ensure the soles are clean and free from dirt or debris. For persistent slipperiness on certain surfaces, consider a sole protector application.

Insole losing cushioning

The OrthoLite® insole is designed for durability, but cushioning can reduce with heavy use. Consider replacing the insoles with new ones if significant comfort loss occurs after extended wear.

Pros and Cons

  • Made with high-quality, luxurious goat leather for comfort and durability.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: The Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 trainers are versatile for various personal styles and outfits. They are not designed for specific electronic or athletic equipment compatibility.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner, applying it sparingly with a soft cloth and buffing gently. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Cleaning the Soles: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap to clean the rubber soles.
  3. Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
  4. Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray to guard against water and stains, especially for the suede or leather components. Reapply periodically.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, away from direct sunlight.
