FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light activity. They do not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for intense running or athletic training.
How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?
It is recommended to check the Onitsuka Tiger size guide for accurate measurements. Consider your usual shoe size and the specific fit notes for the Mexico 66 model. Trying them on in person is the most reliable method if possible.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions. If they do get wet, ensure they are cleaned and allowed to air dry thoroughly.
What is the main difference between Mexico 66 and other Onitsuka Tiger models?
The Mexico 66 is distinguished by its iconic streamlined design, contrast tiger stripes, and heel-cross reinforcement, which were original features from the 1966 Olympics training shoes. Other models may have different historical inspirations or design elements.
How often should I clean my leather trainers?
Clean your leather trainers as needed, especially after exposure to dirt or stains. A light wipe-down after each wear can help maintain their appearance. Deep cleaning or conditioning can be done periodically, perhaps every few months depending on usage.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
Yes, the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 model is available in a wide range of colorways. The 'Ivory Black' is one popular option, but many other combinations exist.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If still tight, you can try wearing them around the house for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet, or consider using a shoe stretcher.
Leather scuffs easily
Address scuffs promptly with a leather cleaner or conditioner. For minor scuffs, sometimes buffing gently with a soft cloth can help. Consider applying a protective leather spray.
Soles showing wear
Minor wear can sometimes be addressed by a cobbler for sole repair. For significant wear, replacement might be necessary, but this depends on the extent of the damage and the shoe's overall condition.

Compatibility: The Mexico 66 trainers are designed for adult use and are compatible with most casual and smart-casual attire. They are suitable for men and women seeking a classic sneaker style.
Care:
- Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to wipe the leather surface. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

- Leather Care: Consider using a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
