FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 are designed as lifestyle sneakers for everyday wear and casual comfort. They are not engineered for intense athletic activities like running, which require specialized performance footwear.
How do I determine my UK size?
Refer to the Onitsuka Tiger sizing chart, typically available on their official website or the retailer's product page, to convert your foot measurement to the correct UK size.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated with protectant sprays, these trainers are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the leather.
What is the primary material of the Mexico 66?
The primary upper material for this model is leather.
Is the 'Gold Metallic' finish durable?
The gold metallic finish is designed for aesthetic appeal. While generally durable for normal wear, it can be susceptible to scuffs or scratches if exposed to abrasive materials or rough use. Handle with care to maintain its appearance.
How should I clean the gold accents?
Gently wipe the gold accents with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, as this can damage the finish.
Are these shoes considered unisex?
Yes, the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 trainers are designed as a unisex model, suitable for adults of any gender.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them with thin socks for short periods to allow the leather to naturally stretch. Avoid prolonged wear if they cause significant discomfort.
Creasing on leather
Minor creasing is normal with leather. Use a shoe tree to help maintain shape and minimize deep creases. Avoid excessive bending of the shoe.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris. For very smooth or wet surfaces, exercise caution as with any footwear.
Gold metallic finish scuffing
Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces. Minor scuffs can sometimes be buffed out gently with a soft cloth. For significant damage, professional restoration might be an option.
