FAQs
Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 suitable for running?
While inspired by running shoes, the Mexico 66 is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. For dedicated running, specialized running shoes are recommended for optimal performance and injury prevention.
How do I clean the white stripes?
Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material or the color.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The leather material is not inherently waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Applying a water-repellent spray can offer some protection.
What is the difference between the Mexico 66 and other Onitsuka Tiger models?
The Mexico 66 is distinguished by its slim profile, two-tone tiger stripes, and distinctive heel tab. Other models may feature different designs, materials, and support structures tailored for specific purposes.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a little space at the toe, and your heel does not slip excessively. Trying them on is the best way to confirm a comfortable fit. Refer to the brand's sizing chart for guidance.
What materials are used in the Mexico 66?
The primary upper material is leather, often combined with synthetic materials for the iconic stripes and other detailing. The sole is typically rubber.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, the Mexico 66 model is available in a wide variety of colorways beyond Black/White, often featuring different combinations of colors and materials.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing excessively
This is natural for leather. Ensure proper fit to minimize creasing in unwanted areas. Storing with shoe trees can help maintain shape.
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or in areas where parts of the shoe rub together.
White marks on black leather
These might be from cleaning products or scuffs. Use a dedicated black leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth. Ensure any polish used is specifically for black leather.
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. If discomfort persists, ensure the sizing is correct and consider if the shoe type is suitable for your foot shape.
