FAQs
What is the primary material of the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66?
The primary material for the upper is premium leather, complemented by a rubber outsole.
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
No, the Mexico 66 is designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for long-distance running.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Onitsuka Tiger and consider your usual shoe size. Given they are unisex, UK sizing is typically provided.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated for water resistance, they are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Ensure they are properly dried if they get wet.
What is the main advantage of the Mexico 66 design?
The main advantage is its iconic, timeless design that merges vintage athletic aesthetics with everyday comfort and style.
How should I clean the colored stripes?
Use a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe the stripes. Avoid harsh scrubbing or cleaning agents that could damage the material or color.
What does the 'Mexico 66' name refer to?
The name refers to the year the iconic design was first introduced, inspired by the 1968 Mexico City Olympic Games.
Troubleshooting
Tighting of laces feels uncomfortable
Adjust the lacing to distribute pressure more evenly. Ensure you are using the correct shoe size; if the shoe is too small, even proper lacing will not resolve discomfort.
Leather shows minor scuffs or marks
Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft cloth to gently buff out minor marks. For more persistent scuffs, a leather conditioner or cream matching the shoe's color may help.
Soles feel slippery on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides traction, but caution is advised on very wet or smooth surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean; debris can reduce grip.
