While inspired by running shoe designs, the Mexico 66 are best suited for casual wear and light activities. They do not offer the advanced cushioning and support needed for serious running.

What is the main material of the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66?

The leather construction offers some protection, but these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles can damage the material and affect comfort. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions.
How should I clean the rubber sole?
The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher dirt, a soft brush can be used. Ensure to wipe away any soap residue and allow the sole to dry completely.
What does 'Mexico 66' refer to?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Try wearing them with thinner socks or consider using a shoe stretcher. If the tightness is significant, you may need to exchange for a half or full size up, especially if you have wider feet.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe base. Try inserting a thin liner or powder under the insole. Ensure laces are tied properly.
Leather appears scuffed or dull
Clean the shoes with a damp cloth and apply a leather conditioner or polish specifically designed for the shoe's color. Allow to dry completely.
Laces fraying
Replace the laces with new ones. You can purchase replacement laces from shoe retailers or the brand's official store.
