FAQs
Are these suitable for running marathons?
No, the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 are lifestyle trainers designed for comfort and style in everyday activities, not for competitive or high-intensity running.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Onitsuka Tiger or the retailer. These trainers are listed with UK adult foot sizes. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, insole, and construction of the shoe.
What is the main difference between Mexico 66 and other Onitsuka Tiger models?
The Mexico 66 is one of the brand's most iconic and recognizable silhouettes, known for its specific retro design inspired by track and field shoes from the 1960s, distinct from other models that might have different design origins or features.
Are the shoes waterproof?
No, the leather construction is not inherently waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture, but should be avoided in heavy rain or wet conditions. Water-repellent sprays designed for leather can offer additional protection.
What does 'Birch Peacoat' refer to?
This refers to the colorway, specifically a combination of beige ('Birch') with navy blue ('Peacoat') accents, as seen on this particular model.
Troubleshooting
Leather creases excessively
Creasing is natural with leather. Ensure proper fit to minimize excessive creasing. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.
Discoloration on white elements
Gently clean affected areas with a leather cleaner suitable for white materials. Protect from excessive dirt and moisture where possible.
Reduced cushioning over time
The OrthoLite® insole may naturally compress with wear. Consider replacing the insoles with new ones if cushioning significantly diminishes.
Slight stiffness upon first wear
This is common with new leather. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in gradually. The leather will soften with use.

Care:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Cleaning the Insole: The OrthoLite® insole can often be removed and cleaned with mild soap and water. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
- Laces: Machine wash laces separately or hand wash them with mild detergent.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, ideally in a shoe bag or their original box to maintain their shape and prevent damage.
