FAQs
Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 suitable for running?
The Mexico 66 are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers. While they offer comfort for walking and casual wear, they are not recommended for intense running or athletic training due to their construction and cushioning.
How do I find the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer or Onitsuka Tiger. It's often recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the brand's specific measurements. Many find they fit true to size, but personal preference for tightness can vary.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the leather, midsole, and overall construction of the shoe. Hand cleaning as described in the care section is the preferred method.
What is the main difference between Mexico 66 and other Onitsuka Tiger models?
The Mexico 66 is distinguished by its slim silhouette, retro design inspired by the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, and the iconic tiger stripes. Many other models may feature different designs, materials, or functional focuses.
How durable is the leather on the Mexico 66?
The premium leather upper is designed for durability for casual use. With proper care and maintenance, the leather should hold up well over time, resisting wear and tear from everyday activities.
Are these trainers good for wide feet?
The Mexico 66 generally has a relatively slim profile. If you have wider feet, it's advisable to try them on if possible or check reviews specifically addressing fit for wider feet. Some users may find them snug initially.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Try wearing them with thinner socks initially. If the tightness persists, consider using a shoe stretcher or wearing them for short periods to allow the leather to naturally mold to your foot.
Leather creasing excessively
This is natural with leather. To minimize creasing, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees to maintain shape when not in use.
Discoloration on leather
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh chemicals. Clean gently with a damp cloth and use appropriate leather conditioners if necessary.
Slipping on smooth surfaces
Ensure the rubber soles are clean and free from debris. For persistent issues on very smooth surfaces, consider a professional sole treatment if needed, though this is uncommon.

Care:
- Cleaning Leather: Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Suede/Nubuck (if applicable): Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For stains, consider a suede cleaner.
- Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them separately with mild soap and water. Allow to air dry completely.
- Sole: Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth or a soft brush.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the leather. Stuffing with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
