FAQs
Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 suitable for running?
The Mexico 66 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. While comfortable for walking, it lacks the specialized cushioning and support required for serious running or high-impact athletic activities.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the Onitsuka Tiger size chart provided by the retailer, comparing your foot measurements to their recommendations. Given this is a UK 8 in the listed product, other sizes are available as shown in the product variants.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the leather, suede, and sole construction, and may cause colors to bleed. Hand cleaning as per the care instructions is advised.
What is the main difference between the Mexico 66 and other Onitsuka Tiger models?
The Mexico 66 is distinguished by its iconic, slim silhouette and retro design elements inspired by the 1968 Olympics. Many other models may feature different materials, sport-specific designs, or more modern aesthetics.
How durable are the Mexico 66 trainers?
Built with quality leather and suede, the Mexico 66 is designed for durability in casual use. With proper care, they can last for a considerable time for everyday wear.
Is the blue color in the DL408-1659-80 model a dark or light blue?
The 'Blue' color family typically refers to a classic, medium shade of blue, often with contrasting white or red stripes as seen in the Mexico 66 design. Specific shades can vary slightly.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or at the tongue junction.
Stains on suede material
Use a suede eraser for light marks. For tougher stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner or use a specialized suede cleaner sparingly.
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for athletic footwear to moisturize the leather. Do this periodically to maintain suppleness.
Discoloration of white stripes
Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.
