FAQs
What makes the Mexico 66 unique?
The Mexico 66 is recognized for its iconic design inspired by 1960s track shoes, its premium goat leather construction, and the comfortable Ortholite® insole, all hallmarks of Onitsuka Tiger's heritage.
Are these suitable for running or intense sports?
While inspired by running shoes, the Mexico 66 is best suited for casual wear and everyday comfort, not high-performance athletic activities.
How should I care for the goat leather?
Gently clean with a damp cloth and use specialized leather products for conditioning and stain removal. Always protect from excessive moisture and heat.
What is the primary material of the shoe?
The upper of the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 is made entirely of high-quality goat leather.
Do these shoes have good arch support?
Yes, the included Ortholite® insole provides excellent cushioning and underfoot support.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart, as shoe sizing can vary. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the chart provided by Onitsuka Tiger.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear fine leather shoes like the Mexico 66 in wet conditions as it can damage the leather and affect its longevity.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner specifically designed for fine leather goods. Test on a small area first.
Soles show signs of wear
Consider visiting a cobbler for potential sole repair or replacement to extend the life of the shoes.
Color transfer from navy elements
This can sometimes occur with new leather. Ensure the shoes are fully dry and avoid prolonged contact with light-colored fabrics, especially in humid conditions. Applying a leather protectant spray may help.

Compatibility:
Due to their versatile design, the Mexico 66 trainers are compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual wear. They pair well with jeans, shorts, chinos, skirts, and casual dresses. They are best suited for adult use in non-athletic, everyday scenarios.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the goat leather with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the leather.
- Stain Removal: For minor stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly according to product instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and moisture. Consider using cedar shoe trees to maintain shape and absorb odors.
