FAQs

Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 suitable for running?

While inspired by running shoes, the Mexico 66 is best suited for casual wear, walking, and light athletic activities. For serious running, dedicated running shoes are recommended.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the size chart provided by Onitsuka Tiger or the retailer. Generally, measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the chart. The provided UK 8.5 is a standard adult size.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

The leather upper offers some protection, but they are not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Applying a leather protector spray can enhance water resistance.

What is the main difference between Mexico 66 and other Onitsuka Tiger models?

The Mexico 66 is distinguished by its iconic split-design sole, sleek profile, and signature stripes, representing a foundational design in the brand's history. Other models may feature different materials, sole constructions, or design aesthetics.

How should I clean the black leather and white accents?

Use a damp cloth for general cleaning. For the white accents, a magic eraser or a specialized shoe cleaner can be effective. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first. Use a separate cloth for the black leather to avoid color transfer.

Is the fit true to size?

Most users find the Mexico 66 to fit true to size. However, individual foot shape can affect fit. It is always recommended to try them on if possible or consult user reviews for size guidance.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in.

Leather creasing excessively

This is natural with leather. Ensure proper fit to minimize extreme creasing. Store shoes with shoe trees or by stuffing them to maintain shape.

Soles becoming slippery

Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris. For persistent slipperiness, consider a specialized sole grip spray or consult a shoe repair professional.

Color transfer from stripes or leather

Ensure shoes are fully dry before wearing. Avoid contact with light-colored or wet clothing. Use a leather protectant spray to seal the color.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Suede/Nubuck Parts: If applicable, use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt.
  3. Soles: Clean with a damp cloth or a mild soap and water solution.
  4. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
