FAQs

Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 suitable for running?

The Mexico 66 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear sneaker. While they are lightweight and comfortable for walking, they do not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for serious running or high-impact athletic activities.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Gently wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher spots, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry. A leather conditioner can help maintain the material's quality.

Do these trainers run true to size?

Sizing can vary slightly. Many users find them to be true to size, but some suggest they can run a bit narrow. It is recommended to check sizing charts and consider trying them on if possible.

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

The Mexico 66 is one of Onitsuka Tiger's most iconic and recognizable models, distinguished by its slim silhouette, prominent tiger stripes, and historical design rooted in track and field heritage.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the leather can withstand light moisture, they are not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain, and ensure they are dried properly if they get wet to prevent damage.

What does the 'Mexico 66' name refer to?

The name refers to the year the shoe was originally developed for the 1968 Mexico Olympic Games trials and its subsequent release in 1966, marking a significant point in athletic footwear design.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you have the correct size. If the shoes are new, they may need a break-in period. Wearing them with appropriate socks can also help.

Leather scuffs or marks

Use a specialized leather cleaner or a damp cloth to gently wipe away marks. For deeper scuffs, a leather repair balm might be effective.

Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces

The rubber outsole provides general traction. For wet or slippery conditions, exercise caution as grip may be reduced.
