FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Mexico 66 trainers are designed for casual wear and light activities. They offer cushioning but lack the advanced support and technology required for serious running or high-impact sports.
How do I clean the white leather and green stripes?
Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher stains on the leather, use a dedicated leather cleaner. For the stripes, a soft brush with mild soap can be effective, but always test on a small area first.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Generally, the Mexico 66 trainers fit true to size for most people. However, individual foot shapes can vary. Trying them on or checking customer reviews for sizing advice is recommended.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and discoloration.
What is the primary material used?
The primary material for the upper of the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 is premium leather.
How do I maintain the cushioning over time?
The EVA midsole provides cushioning. Regular wear will naturally slightly compress the material. Ensure the shoes are not exposed to extreme heat, which can degrade the EVA.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, the Mexico 66 series is available in a variety of colorways, though this specific model is White Light Sage with Green stripes.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing or scuffing
Minor creases are natural with leather. For scuffs, try a leather conditioner or a specialized leather eraser. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Slightly tight fit
Wear with thinner socks initially or use thicker socks for a short period to gently stretch the leather. Consider adding a thin insole if needed.
Discoloration from water exposure
Allow shoes to dry naturally. If discoloration persists, a leather cleaner or conditioner might help, but results can vary. Preventing excessive wetness is key.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole offers moderate traction, but caution is advised on very wet or slick surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris.

Care:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid machine washing.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray to guard against water and stains, especially for the lighter colorways.
