FAQs
Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 suitable for running?
The Mexico 66 is a heritage shoe inspired by running shoes, but it is best suited for casual wear and light activity. For intense or competitive running, dedicated performance running shoes are recommended.
What is the best way to clean the leather upper?
For general cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth. For stains, apply a small amount of specialized leather cleaner to a cloth and gently rub the affected area. Always test any cleaner on a small, hidden spot first. Allow to air dry away from heat.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Generally, the Mexico 66 models are reported to fit true to size for most individuals. However, foot shape can vary, so trying them on or consulting a size chart is advisable.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated for water resistance, these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may saturate the materials. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions or ensure they are properly dried afterward.
What differentiates the 'Silver' colorway?
The 'Silver' colorway refers to the primary metallic silver hue of the shoe, often paired with contrasting accents like white for the stripes and sole, offering a distinctive, eye-catching appearance.
What is the material of the sole?
The sole typically consists of rubber, providing grip and durability for everyday wear.
How should I store my Mexico 66 trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with acid-free paper can help maintain their shape. Keeping them in their original box is also recommended.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel stiff or difficult to tie
Ensure laces are correctly threaded and try a different lacing technique. If laces are old, consider replacing them.
Leather appears creased or scuffed
Minor creases are natural with leather. For scuffs, use a leather conditioner or a specialized leather repair product. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
New soles can sometimes have a slick coating. Wear them outdoors on varied surfaces to naturally wear in the tread. If the issue persists on smooth surfaces, consider a traction-enhancing sole treatment, but use with caution.
Discoloration on the silver or white sections
Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. For persistent marks, use a mild, non-abrasive leather cleaner specifically designed for the material and color. Avoid bleach or harsh solvents.
