FAQs

Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 suitable for running?

No, the Mexico 66 are primarily designed as lifestyle and casual trainers. They lack the specialized support and cushioning required for running or other high-impact sports.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a dedicated mild leather cleaner. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.

What is the main difference between Mexico 66 and other Onitsuka Tiger models?

The Mexico 66 is one of Onitsuka Tiger's most iconic and historically significant models, known for its slim profile and classic design. Other models may vary in silhouette, materials, and intended use.

Do these trainers offer good arch support?

The Mexico 66 typically offers minimal arch support. If you require significant arch support, you may need to use aftermarket insoles.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the leather can offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. If they get wet, allow them to air dry completely.

How should I store my Mexico 66 trainers?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Keeping them in their original box or a shoe bag is also recommended.

What does 'Mexico 66' refer to?

The name 'Mexico 66' refers to the year the design was updated to be lightweight and ready for the 1968 Mexico City Olympics, although it gained widespread popularity later.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and try re-lacing them, focusing on distributing pressure evenly. If the issue persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if they need a short break-in period.

Leather creasing excessively

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain shape.

Slight colour transfer from blue/red accents

This can occur with new shoes, especially in damp conditions. Wear darker socks initially. If significant transfer occurs, a leather sealant might help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

The rubber outsole provides traction, but extremely smooth or wet surfaces can reduce grip. Ensure the soles are clean. For specific slick environments, consider aftermarket traction solutions if needed.

Care: To maintain the condition of your leather trainers:
