FAQs

Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 suitable for running?

The Mexico 66 is designed primarily for casual wear and light activities. While they offer some comfort for walking, they lack the advanced cushioning and support required for serious running.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart, which typically provides conversions for UK, US, and EU sizes. It is recommended to measure your foot length for the most accurate fit.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the leather, alter the shoe's shape, and compromise the adhesives. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild cleaner instead.

What is the main difference between the Mexico 66 and other Onitsuka Tiger models?

The Mexico 66 is characterized by its specific slim profile, unique stitching, and the iconic dual-colored Tiger Stripes, originating from its track and field heritage.

Do these trainers come in half sizes?

Availability of half sizes depends on the specific colorway and retailer. Check the product listing for available size options.

How should I store my Mexico 66 trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape, and keeping them in their original box or a dust bag offers protection.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow them to break in. Ensure you have the correct size; consider using thinner socks if the fit is snug.

Leather shows scuffs or marks

Use a specialized leather cleaner or a leather conditioner to gently buff out minor scuffs. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

The rubber outsole provides traction, but may perform differently on highly polished or wet surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris.
