FAQs
Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 suitable for sports?
The Mexico 66 features a design inspired by running shoes and offers comfort for light activity, but it is primarily intended for casual wear and everyday use, not for intense athletic training or performance sports.
How should I clean my silver Mexico 66 trainers?
Gently wipe the shoes with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt or scuffs, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for silver or metallic finishes, always testing on a small, hidden area first.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Sizing can vary between brands and even models. It is recommended to consult a size chart and, if possible, try them on before purchasing to ensure the best fit.
What material are the Mexico 66 trainers made of?
The 'Silver' variant is typically crafted with premium leather uppers, offering a balance of style and durability.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the leather can withstand light moisture, it is not recommended to wear them in heavy rain or wet conditions, as prolonged exposure can damage the material and affect the shoe's structure. Consider a waterproofing spray suitable for leather if you anticipate encountering wet weather.
What is the main appeal of the Mexico 66 series?
The Mexico 66 series is renowned for its iconic, retro design dating back to the 1960s, combining heritage aesthetics with modern comfort and versatility for casual wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them with thin socks initially, or consider using thicker socks for a short period to gently stretch the material. Professional shoe stretching services are also an option.
Dirt or scuff marks on the silver finish
Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Slight creasing on the leather
Creasing is natural with leather. Ensure proper fit to minimize excessive creasing. Shoe trees can help maintain shape when not in use.
