FAQs
Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 suitable for running?
The Mexico 66 are inspired by running shoes and offer good comfort for light activity and walking. However, they are not designed for serious or high-impact running and may lack the advanced support and cushioning found in modern running-specific footwear.
How do I determine the right size for my UK 11 feet?
It is recommended to consult the Onitsuka Tiger official size chart. Measure the length of your foot from heel to toe and compare it with the chart's measurements for UK sizes. Reading customer reviews for this specific model can also provide insights into the fit.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the materials and ensure comfort. Using a leather protector spray can offer some water resistance.
What is the warranty period for Onitsuka Tiger shoes?
Warranty information can vary by retailer and region. Typically, manufacturers offer a limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. It is best to check the warranty policy provided by the specific retailer you purchased from or contact Onitsuka Tiger customer service directly.
How should I clean the green and red/yellow stripes?
Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently clean the stripes. Avoid harsh scrubbing, which could damage the material or color. For stubborn dirt, a soft-bristled brush can be used with caution.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended for leather trainers. The harshness of the machine can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Hand cleaning is the safest method.
Are there other color options available for the Mexico 66 model?
Yes, the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 series is available in a wide range of colors and material combinations. You can explore other variants on the brand's official website or through authorized retailers.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound from shoes
This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts. Try to identify the source of the squeak; it might be the insole rubbing against the shoe. You can try adding a powder like talcum powder under the insole or placing a thin tissue between the insole and the shoe base.
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner specifically designed for athletic footwear. Gently rub it into the affected areas and allow it to absorb. Repeat if necessary, but avoid over-conditioning.
Stains on the upper material
For minor scuffs, try a magic eraser or a pencil eraser gently. For tougher stains, use a dedicated sneaker cleaner suitable for leather and suede. Always test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Inconsistent sizing compared to other brands
Refer to the Onitsuka Tiger size chart and measure your foot carefully. Consider reviews or feedback regarding the specific model's fit, as some models may run slightly larger or smaller than typical sizing.

Care Instructions:
