FAQs
Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 suitable for running?
The Mexico 66 is a heritage shoe inspired by running designs. While comfortable for walking, it is not engineered for modern athletic running or high-impact sports. For performance running, consider specialized running shoes.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart, usually available on the retailer's website. It's often recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the chart. Trying them on in-store is the most reliable method if possible.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
The leather upper offers some water resistance, but they are not waterproof. For heavy rain, it's advisable to use a water-repellent spray and avoid prolonged exposure to wet conditions. Allow them to dry naturally if they get wet.
What is the main difference between Mexico 66 and Mexico 66 SD models?
The 'SD' (Super Detailed) versions often feature updated cushioning technologies, improved durability, and sometimes minor design tweaks for enhanced performance and comfort compared to the classic Mexico 66.
How should I clean the silver colorway?
Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher spots, a specialized leather cleaner suitable for metallic finishes is recommended. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Do they come in other colors?
Yes, the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 model is available in a wide range of colorways, including various combinations of white, black, red, blue, and other distinctive options.
What is the warranty period for these shoes?
Warranty information typically varies by retailer and region. It is best to check the specific terms and conditions provided by the seller at the time of purchase.
Troubleshooting
Scuff marks on leather
Gently clean with a damp cloth or a specialized leather cleaner. For deeper scuffs, a leather repair pen matching the silver color may be used cautiously.
Reduced comfort over time
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly. Consider adding aftermarket insoles for additional cushioning if needed, though this may alter the original fit.
Discoloration of silver finish
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh chemicals. Use appropriate leather care products designed for metallic finishes.
Squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the shoe. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or checking if any part of the sole is loose.

Care:
