FAQs
What makes the Mexico 66 model special?
The Mexico 66 is one of Onitsuka Tiger's most recognizable classics, inspired by historical running shoes from the 1960s Olympic Games, blending retro aesthetics with modern comfort and premium materials.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?
While inspired by running shoes, the Mexico 66 is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, offering comfort for everyday activities rather than high-performance athletics.
How do I choose the right size?
It is recommended to check the brand's sizing chart and consider that leather shoes can stretch slightly over time. Many users find they fit true to size, but personal preference for snugness or looseness may influence choice.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The leather upper can be protected with a suitable waterproofing spray, but it is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain to prevent damage to the material.
What is the primary material used in these trainers?
The Mexico 66 trainers, particularly the Birch Peacoat variant, are made entirely of high-quality goat leather for the upper, with a comfortable OrthoLite® insole.
How often should I clean my Mexico 66 trainers?
Regular light cleaning with a soft cloth after wear is recommended. Deep cleaning should be performed as needed, depending on usage and environmental conditions.
Do these trainers come in other colors besides beige?
Yes, the Mexico 66 model is available in a variety of colorways, including blue and white, often featuring the signature Onitsuka Tiger stripes.
Troubleshooting
Creasing of the leather upper
Natural to leather products, creasing can be minimized by ensuring proper fit and using shoe trees when not in use. Avoid over-tightening laces.
Discoloration of the stripes or leather
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean with appropriate leather cleaners for the specific material and color.
Soles feel stiff initially
The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the sole to flex and conform to your foot.
Slight odor
This can happen with leather products. Remove the insoles and air them out regularly. Using a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes overnight can also help.
