FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Mexico 66 is a heritage-inspired lifestyle trainer and does not provide the impact protection or technical support required for running.
How do I ensure I order the right size?
These trainers typically follow standard UK sizing. If you are between sizes or prefer extra room for thicker socks, consider ordering a half-size up.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is highly recommended not to machine wash these leather shoes, as it can damage the material and structural adhesive.
Are they waterproof?
They are not waterproof. We recommend applying a leather-safe water repellent spray if you expect to encounter light rain.
Do they provide good arch support?
The Mexico 66 has a relatively flat footbed; individuals requiring significant arch support may need to add their own aftermarket inserts.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed primarily from high-quality leather for both durability and a refined aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface shows scuff marks
Use a leather cleaner specifically formulated for trainers and apply it gently with a soft microfiber cloth.
Laces becoming undone frequently
Ensure they are double-knotted or replace them with a slightly textured lace that provides more friction for the knot.
Creasing in the leather near the toe box
This is natural for leather footwear; use cedar shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the shoe's shape and reduce permanent creasing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 trainers last, keep these care tips in mind. As they are constructed from leather, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. If the shoes get dirty, use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dust and a slightly damp cloth to wipe the surface gently. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking. Compatibility-wise, these trainers feature a standard fit that works well with most foot shapes, though if you require extra volume for specialized insoles, consider sizing up. Always store them in a cool, dry place when not in use to preserve the integrity of the material.
