FAQs

Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 trainers suitable for running?

The Mexico 66 are primarily fashion trainers designed for casual wear and comfort. They do not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for serious running or athletic training.

How do I determine my UK size for these trainers?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer or Onitsuka Tiger. Generally, UK sizing is consistent, but trying them on or consulting reviews regarding fit can be helpful.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. The materials, especially the suede and leather components, can be damaged by the washing machine cycle and heat.

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

The Mexico 66 is distinguished by its iconic, streamlined silhouette, thin sole, and prominent Onitsuka Tiger stripes, often featuring a contrast heel tab. It's one of their most recognizable and classic designs.

How should I care for the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a suede brush to clean away dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product instructions. Applying a suede protector spray can help prevent future stains.

Do these trainers offer good arch support?

The Mexico 66 offers moderate cushioning but is not designed with significant built-in arch support. Individuals requiring substantial arch support may need to use custom or over-the-counter insoles.

What does the '66' in Mexico 66 refer to?

The '66' refers to the year the shoe was originally released, coinciding with the Olympic Games held in Mexico City that year. It was designed as a track and field shoe.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear with thin socks initially and allow the shoes to break in. If still too tight after several wears, consider using a shoe stretcher or seeking professional stretching services. Ensure you have the correct size for your foot.

Suede material looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product instructions. Protect with a suede protector spray after cleaning.

Laces fraying

Replace the laces with a new pair. Ensure they are of a similar length and material for optimal fit and appearance.

Slight squeaking noise when walking

This can sometimes be caused by friction within the shoe. Try inserting a thin insole or talcum powder under the insole to reduce friction. Ensure the insole is properly seated.

Care:

  • Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the suede and a slightly damp cloth for the leather or synthetic parts. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  • Suede Care: For suede sections, a dedicated suede cleaner and brush are recommended to maintain their texture and color. Treat with a water and stain repellent spray suitable for suede.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or original box to protect them from dust and moisture.
