FAQs
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the Onitsuka Tiger size chart and compare it with your foot measurements. The product description mentions UK sizing, so measure your foot and find the corresponding UK size. It's also recommended to check reviews for feedback on sizing consistency.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Mexico 66 trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and light activities. They offer basic cushioning and support but are not optimized for the performance demands of running.
How should I clean the white leather?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stains, a dedicated white leather cleaner can be applied gently with a cloth or soft brush, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth and air drying.
What is the material of the upper?
The primary material for the upper of the Mexico 66 trainers is leather.
Can these shoes be worn in wet conditions?
While the leather can withstand light moisture, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or puddles to prevent damage to the leather and sole.
What is the origin of the Mexico 66 design?
The Mexico 66 is one of Onitsuka Tiger's most iconic models, originally released in 1966 for the pre-Olympic Games in Mexico City. It is celebrated for its classic design and historical significance.
Do these shoes come in different widths?
Standard width is typical for this model. Specific width options are not commonly available, so focus on finding the correct length and consider alternatives if width is a major concern.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider wearing thinner socks or using a shoe stretcher for a gradual stretch over time.
Leather scuff marks
For minor scuffs, try gently buffing with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, a leather repair cream or polish in a matching color may help.
Squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe. Try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or ensuring the laces are tied correctly.
Sole becoming detached
For minor separation, a strong adhesive designed for footwear can be used. For significant detachment, consult a professional cobbler.
