Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 - Cream - Striped - Trainers - UK 10

While they are inspired by running shoes, the Mexico 66 is best suited for casual wear and light activities. They may not offer the advanced cushioning and support required for serious running or high-impact training.

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner for cream or light-colored leather can be used sparingly. Always test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

The Mexico 66 is characterized by its specific silhouette, featuring the iconic tiger stripes and a distinct heel counter design, originating from the 1966 track shoe. Other models might have different design inspirations, materials, or cushioning technologies.

Sizing can vary slightly. It is often recommended to check customer reviews for specific feedback on sizing or to try them on in person if possible. Many users find them to be relatively true to size, but some suggest going up half a size for a bit more room.

The leather upper offers some protection, but these are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the leather and suede components.

The name refers to the year 1966, when the shoe was designed for the pre-Olympic Games in Mexico. It was one of the first shoes to feature the now-famous Onitsuka Tiger stripes.

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape, and keeping them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag is recommended.

This can sometimes occur due to the tongue rubbing against the inner lining. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or a thin layer of wax to the underside of the tongue where it contacts the shoe's interior.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. If discoloration occurs, try using a leather conditioner or cleaner appropriate for the shoe's color.

Minor separation can sometimes be addressed with a strong adhesive designed for footwear. For significant separation, professional repair might be necessary.
