FAQs
Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 true to size?
Most users find the Mexico 66 to be true to size. However, if you are between sizes or have wider feet, considering a half-size up might be more comfortable.
Can I wear these for running?
While inspired by running shoes, the Mexico 66 are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers. They offer good comfort for walking and light activities but may lack the advanced support and cushioning needed for serious running.
How do I clean the black leather parts?
Wipe the black leather with a slightly damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for black leather, and always test on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the main difference between Mexico 66 and other Onitsuka Tiger models?
The Mexico 66 is distinguished by its iconic streamlined silhouette, slim profile, and the signature Tiger Stripes, representing a classic heritage design from the 1966 model.
Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?
The leather upper offers some protection, but these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions. Using a water-repellent spray can help offer minor protection.
What material is the sole made of?
The sole is typically made of rubber, providing good traction for everyday wear.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe lining. Try placing a small piece of powder or paper towel under the insole or gently applying talcum powder.
Leather creasing
Creasing is natural for leather. To minimize excessive creasing, ensure the shoes fit correctly and use shoe trees when not in use.
Discoloration on white panels
Use a specialized white leather cleaner or a magic eraser gently on the affected areas. For stubborn stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner.
