FAQs

Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 suitable for running?

The Mexico 66 is designed primarily as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. While they have athletic roots, they are not engineered for high-impact running or professional athletic training. For those activities, specialized running shoes are recommended.

How do I determine the right size?

Consult the size chart provided by the seller or Onitsuka Tiger. For best results, measure your foot length and compare it with the chart. Consider that the fit can be influenced by sock thickness. Trying them on in person if possible is ideal.

Can I wash these trainers?

It is not recommended to machine wash or fully submerge these leather trainers in water, as this can damage the leather and sole construction. Spot clean with a damp cloth and appropriate leather cleaner.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper of the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 in this variant is primarily made of leather, featuring contrasting accents.

What does 'Mexico 66' refer to?

The name 'Mexico 66' refers to the year the design was originally released, coinciding with the Mexico City Olympics, and the shoe's role in the brand's history.

Are these trainers unisex?

Yes, the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 is generally considered a unisex model, designed to be worn by individuals of any gender. Sizing is typically based on standard footwear measurements.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.

Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size. Laces can be adjusted for a more personalized fit.

Leather shows creases or scuffs.

Minor creasing is natural with leather. For scuffs, try a leather conditioner or a matching color polish. Use a damp cloth for light marks.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.

The rubber sole provides traction, but may be less effective on extremely smooth or wet surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean. For increased grip, consider a rubber sole treatment designed for footwear.

Color transfer from the black material.

Initial wear may cause slight color transfer, especially in humid conditions or when wet. This is common with dark-dyed materials. Wear with dark socks initially. A color-blocking spray can help mitigate this.

Compatibility: The Mexico 66 is a unisex model, suitable for a wide range of adult foot sizes. Its design makes it compatible with casual attire, including jeans, shorts, track pants, and skirts.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage the leather.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and maintain their shape. Use shoe trees to help preserve the form when not in use.
  4. Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray to guard against water and stains, especially for the lighter contrast details.
