FAQs

Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 suitable for running?

The Mexico 66 is designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe, inspired by vintage track shoes. While comfortable for walking, they do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for modern running.

How do I clean the white leather and suede parts?

For white leather, use a damp cloth and a mild soap or leather cleaner. For white suede, use a suede eraser for scuffs and a suede brush. Avoid harsh chemicals that could discolor the material.

What is the main difference between this and modern trainers?

The Mexico 66 features a classic, minimalist design and construction typical of vintage athletic shoes. Modern trainers often incorporate advanced cushioning technologies, specialized support systems, and synthetic materials for specific athletic performance.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, it's not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended, as it can damage the leather and suede. Consider using a water-repellent spray for light protection.

How does the sizing generally run for Mexico 66?

Sizing can vary slightly by individual preference and foot shape. Many users find them to fit true to size, but it is advisable to consult the official Onitsuka Tiger size guide or try them on if possible.

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

The '66' refers to the year the iconic design was originally created, coinciding with the lead-up to the 1968 Mexico City Olympic Games.

Troubleshooting

Leather or suede appears dirty or stained.

Refer to the 'Care Instructions' above. Use appropriate cleaners for leather and suede, and test on an inconspicuous area first.

Sizing feels slightly off.

Leather and suede can stretch slightly with wear. If the fit is uncomfortable, consider wearing thicker socks or consult the brand's sizing chart for potential exchanges.

Laces are worn or dirty.

Replace laces with new ones. Many retailers offer replacement laces in various colors that can complement the shoe.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.

Ensure the rubber tread is clean. If the sole becomes excessively worn, professional resoling might be an option, though this is uncommon for casual wear.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning Leather: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner may be required. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  • Cleaning Suede: Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner is recommended.
  • Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. They can be hand-washed or machine-washed in a garment bag.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing with paper can help maintain shape and absorb moisture.
  • Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather and suede to offer initial protection.
