FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Mexico 66 generally fits true to size, though because it is a low-profile shoe, those who prefer extra room in the toe box or who wear thick socks might consider sizing up slightly.
Can I use custom insoles with these?
Yes, you can remove the existing insole and replace it with a thin orthotic insert, though keep in mind the low-profile nature of the shoe may limit how much thickness the insert can add.
Are these suitable for long-distance running?
No, these are categorized as lifestyle or casual low shoes and lack the advanced cushioning and stability features required for long-distance running.
How do I prevent the cream material from discoloring?
Avoid wearing them in muddy or wet conditions, and apply a water-and-stain repellent spray designed for leather and synthetic footwear to add a layer of protection.
Is this a unisex model?
Yes, the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 is designed as a unisex shoe, with sizing standard across genders.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe area
This is common with leather and synthetic athletic shoes; use shoe trees when not being worn to help maintain the shape.
Difficulty keeping laces tied
Ensure the laces are threaded properly through the eyelets; double-knotting or using a locking lace technique can prevent them from loosening during walking.
Surface stains on the cream upper
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft-bristle brush, gently dabbing the area rather than rubbing aggressively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes arrive ready to wear. As they are a low-top, lace-up model, simply loosen the laces to accommodate your foot and adjust for a snug, secure fit across the midfoot.
Compatibility: The cream and blue color palette is highly versatile, pairing effectively with denim, chinos, or shorts. They work particularly well with minimalist or retro-inspired wardrobes.
Care: To maintain the appearance of your Mexico 66s, wipe the surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dust. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the materials and structural adhesives. If the shoes become damp, stuff them with newspaper and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from stiffening or cracking.
