FAQs

Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 suitable for running?

While they are inspired by athletic shoes, the Mexico 66 are primarily designed for casual wear and light activities. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for serious running.

How do I clean the suede parts?

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The trainers are not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to rain is not recommended and may damage the leather and suede. Ensure they are properly dried afterwards.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Sizing can vary slightly. Many users find they run true to size, but some suggest they can be narrow. It's advisable to check sizing charts and consider trying them on if possible.

What is the main difference between the leather and suede parts?

The leather provides structure and durability, while the suede adds a softer texture and a classic retro look. Both require specific care to maintain their appearance.

Are these suitable for people with wide feet?

The Mexico 66 are generally considered to have a relatively narrow fit. Individuals with wide feet might find them snug and may need to consider sizing up or looking for alternative models.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels too tight or narrow

Try wearing thinner socks or consider purchasing a half-size larger if your feet are wider. The leather may also stretch slightly with wear.

Scuffs or stains on leather/suede

Use a specialized leather cleaner for leather parts and a suede brush or eraser for suede. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

The rubber sole provides good grip, but on very smooth or wet surfaces, caution may be needed. Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris.

Color transfer to socks

This can occasionally happen with new, dark-colored shoes. It is usually temporary and should reduce after a few wears. Washing socks separately initially is recommended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort.

Compatibility: The Mexico 66 trainers are designed for adult use and are compatible with a wide range of casual outfits, including jeans, shorts, and casual trousers.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: For the leather and suede components, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid saturating the material. For stubborn marks, consider a specialized leather or suede cleaner.
  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 hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation. Shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
