FAQs

Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 true to size?

Generally, the Mexico 66 are considered to run true to size for most people. However, fit can be subjective, and it's always recommended to check size charts and consider trying them on if possible, or reading reviews specific to your region.

Can I wash my Mexico 66 trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash leather sneakers like the Mexico 66, as this can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth and specialized cleaners is the preferred method.

How do I best clean the suede accents on my trainers?

For suede parts, use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt and lift the nap. For tougher marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water, which can stain and mat the suede.

What is the primary intended use for the Mexico 66?

The Mexico 66 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual footwear option. While inspired by running shoes, its modern use focuses on style and comfort for everyday activities rather than competitive or high-impact sports.

Do these trainers offer good arch support?

The Mexico 66 offers a relatively flat and minimalist sole design, typical of vintage trainers. They do not typically feature significant built-in arch support. Individuals requiring substantial arch support may need to use aftermarket insoles.

How durable are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66?

Constructed with leather and rubber, these trainers are generally durable for casual wear. Longevity will depend on the frequency of use, care, and the type of activities they are subjected to.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and mold to your feet. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase if needed.

Color transfer from the shoe to socks.

This can sometimes occur with new, brightly colored footwear. Wear darker socks initially or try a protective spray designed for leather and suede, following product instructions carefully.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.

Some users may find the rubber soles less grippy on highly polished or wet surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean and consider a light scuffing on rougher pavement to improve traction if this is a persistent issue.

  • Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle in a garment bag.
