FAQs

Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 suitable for running?

No, the Mexico 66 are designed primarily for casual wear and light activities. They lack the specialized support and cushioning needed for serious running or high-impact sports.

How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a suede cleaner or eraser, and always brush in one direction after cleaning.

Do these trainers run true to size?

Generally, the Mexico 66 run true to size for most people. However, some users find them to be slightly narrow. It is recommended to check customer reviews for specific sizing advice or try them on if possible.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

It is not recommended to machine wash leather and suede shoes like the Mexico 66, as this can damage the materials and affect their shape. Spot clean using damp cloths and appropriate cleaners.

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

The Mexico 66 is distinguished by its streamlined, vintage racing silhouette, signature tiger stripes, and often a cushioned heel. It represents one of the brand's most iconic and enduring designs, focusing on retro style and comfort.

What materials are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 made from?

The Mexico 66 typically features a leather upper, often with suede accents, and a rubber sole. The specific materials may vary slightly by colorway.

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

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or material degradation. Keeping them in their original box or a shoe bag can help protect them.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to the sole rubbing against the insole. Try inserting a thin insole or a powder insert to absorb moisture and reduce friction. Ensure the laces are tied properly.

Leather scuff marks

For minor scuffs, try buffing gently with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a leather-specific shoe cream or polish in a matching color. Test any product on an inconspicuous area first.

Unusual fit or discomfort

Ensure you have the correct size. If the shoes feel slightly narrow, wear them with thinner socks or try stretching them gently. Consistent wear for a few days typically helps them mold to your foot.
