Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Sabot - Silver Cream - UK 5

The Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Sabot features a premium leather upper.

While inspired by a classic athletic design, the Mexico 66 Sabot is primarily intended for casual wear and not for rigorous sports activities. The open-back design does not offer the secure fit required for such activities.

It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the brand's size chart. Many retailers also provide specific fit advice. Trying them on in person is the most reliable method if possible.

While the leather can be treated for some water resistance, these shoes are not designed for heavy rain. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in prolonged wet conditions to protect the leather.

Use a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Gently wipe the area and follow up with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid colored cleaning products that could transfer.

The primary difference is the 'Sabot' construction, which features an open-back, slip-on design, unlike the traditional lace-up, closed-back Mexico 66.

Leather can stretch slightly over time. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. If they remain too tight, consider professional stretching or exchanging for a larger size if possible.

Use a leather cleaner specifically designed for the type of leather. For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner or a specialized leather eraser might be effective. Consult a professional shoe repair service for significant damage.

New shoes can sometimes have a stiff sole. Wear them regularly on softer surfaces initially to help break them in. The sole should become more flexible with use.
