FAQs

Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 suitable for running?

While inspired by running shoes, the Mexico 66 are primarily fashion sneakers. They offer comfort for walking and casual wear but lack the advanced cushioning and support required for serious running.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart, usually available on their website or the retailer's product page. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the chart. Consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary.

How often should I clean my Mexico 66 trainers?

Clean them as needed, especially if they become visibly dirty or stained. Regular light brushing can help maintain their appearance between deeper cleanings.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, suede, and sole construction.

What is the difference between the leather and suede parts?

The primary upper is typically leather for durability and structure, while suede is used for accent panels, offering a softer texture and classic aesthetic.

Do these shoes offer arch support?

The Mexico 66 has a relatively flat sole and offers minimal built-in arch support. Those needing significant arch support may consider using aftermarket insoles.

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

The '66' refers to the year 1966, when the design that inspired the Mexico 66 was first developed for the pre-Olympic trials in Mexico City.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise during walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the sole and insole. Try inserting a thin sock liner or talcum powder under the insole if removable.

Leather scuffs or marks

For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner or cream polish in a matching color can help mask the mark. For deeper scuffs, consult a professional shoe repair service.

Laces fraying

Replace the laces with new ones of a similar material and length. Many footwear retailers offer replacement laces.
