FAQs

Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 suitable for running?

The Mexico 66 is primarily a lifestyle and casual trainer. While comfortable for walking, they do not offer the advanced cushioning and support required for serious running or athletic training.

How do I clean the black stripes?

The black stripes are typically made of synthetic material or painted leather. Clean them gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could remove the color.

What is the typical lifespan of these trainers?

With regular wear and proper care, the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 can last for several years. The lifespan depends on usage frequency, walking surfaces, and adherence to care instructions.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

Yes, the Mexico 66 model is available in a wide variety of colorways, often featuring different combinations of the iconic stripes and base colors.

How does the sizing run for the Mexico 66?

Onitsuka Tiger sizing is generally considered true to size for most customers. However, it's always recommended to consult the brand's sizing chart and consider trying them on if possible, as foot shapes vary.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the gum rubber sole offers some grip, the leather upper is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the leather and maintain traction.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable after initial wear.

Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Wearing thicker socks can also help stretch the leather slightly.

Visible scuffs or marks on the cream leather.

For light scuffs, try using a magic eraser or a specialized leather eraser. For deeper marks, a cream-colored leather polish or filler might be necessary, applied carefully with a soft cloth.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.

The gum rubber sole provides traction, but performance can vary on extremely smooth or wet surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean of debris. For persistent slippage, consider a rubber sole spray designed to increase grip.

Leather appears dry or stiff.

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner using a soft cloth. Gently rub it into the leather and allow it to absorb. This will help restore suppleness and prevent cracking.

  • Lightweight feel enhances overall comfort.

Cons

  • Leather requires specific cleaning and maintenance to prevent damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility: The Mexico 66 is designed as a unisex lifestyle trainer, compatible with a wide range of casual and semi-casual attire. They are not intended for specialized athletic activities requiring specific performance features.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: For the leather upper, use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a dedicated leather cleaner may be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the leather.
  3. Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to help repel water and stains, especially for the cream-colored leather.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or the original box, to maintain their shape and protect them from dust.
