FAQs
Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 suitable for running?
The Mexico 66 is primarily a lifestyle trainer designed for casual wear and light activity. While comfortable for walking, they are not engineered for high-performance running and may lack the necessary cushioning and support for intense training.
How do I know if I have the right size?
It is recommended to consult the official Onitsuka Tiger size guide. Many find these trainers fit true to size, but if you are between sizes or have wider feet, consider sizing up half a size for a more comfortable fit.
Can I wash my Mexico 66 trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the trainers. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
What is the difference between Mexico 66 and other Onitsuka Tiger models?
The Mexico 66 is distinguished by its iconic slim profile, distinctive tiger stripes, and heritage design inspired by the 1966 Olympics training shoe. Other models may feature different designs, materials, or performance-oriented features.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the standard Mexico 66 trainers are not waterproof. They are made from materials like leather, suede, and nylon, which can be damaged by excessive water exposure.
How durable is the sole?
The rubber outsole is designed for durability in everyday use. However, like all shoe soles, prolonged friction or use on abrasive surfaces can lead to wear over time.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels too tight or too loose.
Refer to the Onitsuka Tiger sizing chart and consider the 'half size up' recommendation if you are between sizes or prefer more room. Ensure you are trying them on with the type of socks you would typically wear.
Laces come undone frequently.
Try double-knotting the laces. Consider replacing the original laces with a pair that has more texture or grip.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris. For significantly slippery surfaces, consider the limitations of the shoe's tread pattern for such conditions.
Discoloration on the leather or fabric.
Clean gently with a damp cloth. For persistent marks, use a cleaner specifically designed for the material of the shoe, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
