FAQs
Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 suitable for running?
These trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear, inspired by heritage running shoe designs. They are not recommended for serious running or athletic training due to limited support and cushioning.
How should I clean the leather parts of the shoes?
Wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a dedicated leather cleaner, following the product's instructions. Ensure to avoid excessive water.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may damage the materials, especially the suede toecap. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions.
What is the main difference between the Mexico 66 and modern running shoes?
The Mexico 66 focuses on replicating a classic aesthetic and offers basic comfort for casual use. Modern running shoes are engineered with advanced cushioning technologies, specialized support systems, and materials optimized for performance and injury prevention during athletic activities.
How do I care for the suede toecap?
Use a suede brush to keep the suede clean and free of dirt. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Consider applying a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains.
What size should I order if I'm unsure?
It is recommended to refer to the brand's sizing chart and check reviews for fit information. Many find Onitsuka Tiger shoes to fit true to size, but personal preference for snugness or room can vary.
What is the origin of the Mexico 66 design?
The Mexico 66 design takes inspiration from several 1960s Onitsuka Tiger models, including the LIMBER-UP training shoe and the Limber shoe, incorporating distinctive design elements and the iconic Tiger stripes that debuted in 1966.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Leather shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially. Consider using a shoe stretcher if the tightness persists.
Suede areas are dirty or stained
Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For stains, try a suede eraser. If the stain is persistent, consult a professional shoe cleaner specializing in suede.
Leather scuff marks
Light scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a leather conditioner or a shoe cream matching the color.
Soles are dirty
Wipe the soles with a damp cloth. For tougher grime, use a mild soap and water solution with a brush, then wipe clean.
