FAQs

Are the Mexico 66 trainers suitable for running?

While lightweight and comfortable for general movement, the Mexico 66 are primarily lifestyle sneakers. They are not designed with the advanced support and cushioning required for serious running.

How should I clean the leather and suede parts?

Use a damp cloth for the leather and a specialized suede brush for the suede. For tougher stains, a dedicated leather or suede cleaner is recommended, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Do these trainers run true to size?

Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 trainers generally run true to size, but some users find them to be slightly narrow. It's advisable to consult sizing charts and consider trying them on if possible, or ordering a half-size up if you have wider feet.

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

The Mexico 66 is one of Onitsuka Tiger's most iconic models, characterized by its sleek silhouette, thin sole, and prominent tiger stripes, often featuring a split-sueded sole. Other models may have different designs, cushioning technologies, or intended uses.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The leather upper offers some protection, but these are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain can damage the materials. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions and to dry them thoroughly if they do get wet.

What does the 'DL408-1684-70' mean?

This is likely the manufacturer's part number (MPN) specific to this colorway and size combination (Cream/Green/Red/Yellow, UK 7).

Are there other color options available for the Mexico 66?

Yes, the Mexico 66 model is available in a wide variety of colorways and material combinations. The specific variant mentioned here is Cream/Green/Red/Yellow in UK size 7.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing excessively

This is a natural characteristic of leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and use shoe trees for storage. Avoid over-tightening laces.

Traction feels slippery on certain surfaces

Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth. If the issue persists, the outsole may be worn and could benefit from professional inspection or replacement.

Color transfer from stripes onto socks

This can occasionally happen with new, darker colors. Wash socks separately for the first few washes or consider using a fabric protector on the inner lining if feasible.

Discomfort after prolonged wear

Ensure the correct size is being worn. If the shoe feels narrow, try loosening the laces. For increased comfort, consider using aftermarket insoles designed for added cushioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 trainers require no assembly. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for unisex adult wear and are compatible with most casual attire. They are available in various UK sizes, including the UK 7 variant specified.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the leather. For stubborn stains, a specialized leather cleaner may be used sparingly, following the product's instructions.
  • Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat or sunlight, as this can cause the leather to crack or warp.
  • Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to preserve their color and material integrity. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  • Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray to guard against water and stains, especially for the suede or leather panels.
