FAQs

Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 suitable for running?

While inspired by running shoes, their design and thin sole are best suited for casual wear and light, low-impact activities. They may not provide adequate cushioning or support for serious running.

How do I clean the white leather and blue stripes?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the leather and stripes. For tougher marks on the leather, a mild leather cleaner can be used. Ensure to dry thoroughly.

What is the best way to care for the suede toecap?

Use a specialized suede brush to maintain its texture and remove dirt. A suede eraser can help with minor marks. It's advisable to treat the suede with a protector spray to guard against stains and water.

Do these shoes offer good arch support?

The Mexico 66 features a relatively flat and thin midsole, characteristic of heritage designs. They offer minimal built-in arch support, which may require the use of insoles for individuals needing extra support.

What is the difference between ASICS and Onitsuka Tiger branding on these shoes?

Onitsuka Tiger is a sub-brand of ASICS. The Mexico 66 primarily features Onitsuka Tiger branding, reflecting its heritage status, though ASICS is the parent company.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

The leather and suede materials are not inherently waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and staining. Using a water-repellent spray can offer some protection.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

Try wearing thinner socks or consider using a shoe stretcher for wider areas if the fit is consistently uncomfortable. Ensure you have selected the correct size.

Leather creasing excessively

Normal for leather shoes; use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape. Avoid bending the shoe excessively during wear.

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or cleaner may be necessary. Consider applying a suede protector spray.

Soles show signs of wear

Wipe clean with a damp cloth after use. For significant wear, consult a cobbler for potential sole repair or replacement options if available.
