FAQs

Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 trainers true to size?

Sizing can vary. It is recommended to consult the Onitsuka Tiger size chart and consider reviews, as some users find they run slightly narrow or small. Trying them on or ordering half a size up might be beneficial.

What material are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 trainers made of?

The 'Cream Black' variant features a supple leather upper with synthetic or textile accents for the stripes and lining.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the leather can be treated for water resistance, these trainers are best suited for dry conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended and may require thorough drying and conditioning.

How should I clean the black stripes?

Use a damp cloth to gently wipe the stripes. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, which could damage the material or color.

Are these suitable for running or sports?

The Mexico 66 is designed primarily as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. While comfortable for walking, they do not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for intense athletic activities like running.

What is the main difference between Mexico 66 variants?

The primary differences are colorways and material accents. The core design, silhouette, and construction remain consistent across the Mexico 66 line.

How durable is the gum rubber sole?

The gum rubber sole is known for its durability and excellent traction, making it suitable for everyday wear on various surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing excessively

This is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and use shoe trees when not in use. Avoid over-tightening laces.

Slightly tight fit

Leather will naturally stretch slightly with wear. Wear them for short periods initially. Consider a professional shoe stretcher if persistent.

Gum sole marks on surfaces

Gum rubber can sometimes leave marks. Clean affected surfaces with a mild soap and water solution. This is a common characteristic of gum soles.

Discoloration of cream leather

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean with a damp cloth and consider using a UV-protectant spray designed for leather.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly.

  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally in a shoe bag or their original box to maintain shape and prevent dust accumulation.
