FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 is primarily a lifestyle sneaker designed for casual wear and comfort. While they can handle light jogging, they are not engineered for serious running or athletic performance.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the Onitsuka Tiger sizing chart. Most users find their standard shoe size to be a good fit, but variations can occur. Trying them on is always recommended if possible.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the leather, the adhesives, and the overall structure of the shoe.
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 and absorb moisture. Keeping them in a dust bag is also beneficial.
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 historic models, known for its slim profile, simple design, and the signature stripes. Other models may feature different materials, support structures, or design aesthetics tailored for specific activities or styles.
Are the 'Cream Black' and 'White/Black' versions identical?
While both feature black stripes, the 'Cream Black' refers to a specific colorway where the primary upper color is a distinct cream shade, often with subtle variations in the exact hue compared to a pure white base.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Try wearing them with thinner socks. If they are leather, they may stretch slightly with wear. Consider professional stretching if persistent.
Creasing on leather upper
Minor creasing is normal with leather shoes and adds to their character. To minimize, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees for storage.
Soles becoming slippery
Ensure the gum rubber soles are clean. Lightly scuffing the soles with fine-grit sandpaper can sometimes restore grip, but use with caution.
Discoloration of cream leather
Protect from excessive sun exposure. Clean gently with a damp cloth and consider using a leather protector spray designed for light colors.
