FAQs
Are these suitable for running?
While inspired by running shoes, the Mexico 66 Slip-On is best suited for casual wear and light activities. For serious running, specialized running shoes are recommended.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Onitsuka Tiger, often based on UK or EU sizing. For this model, the size is listed as UK 5.5.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand clean with a damp cloth.
What is the primary material?
The shoes feature a breathable mesh upper and a cushioned midsole for comfort.
Is the 'White / Red' colorway accurate to the Mexican flag?
The design incorporates a tricolor aesthetic inspired by the Mexican flag, featuring white and red accents along with other signature Onitsuka Tiger colors.
How does the slip-on design affect the fit?
The slip-on design offers convenience but may provide a less adjustable fit compared to lace-up shoes. Ensure you select the correct size for a snug feel.
What kind of socks should I wear?
Thin to medium-thickness socks are generally recommended for comfort and to maintain the intended fit. Many users also wear them sockless due to the breathable materials.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Try wearing them with thin socks initially. For initial wear, ensure you have the correct size. If still uncomfortable, consider alternative sizing or models.
Slight odor after wear
Ensure feet are dry before wearing. Use antiperspirant or foot powder. Remove insoles (if possible) and air them out regularly.
Traction seems reduced
Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris that may be affecting grip.
