Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66®

I received my first pair of Mexico 66's in the Birch/Latte color. I ordered a women's 9 and my regular Asics athletic shoes are a 9.5 (dress shoe size 8.5), and the 9 was a size too large for me. I inserted an insole and the shoe fit perfectly. I think the shoe is really cute, but I was really turned off by the latte color of the shoe, it really is a coffee-like latte color, very tan/taupe looking, and I felt that the color made them look like bowling shoes. Also, looking down on them they look a tad wide and stubby for my taste, I would like something a little sleeker. I think the Mexico 66 is really cute, pretty comfy for casual shoes and it does have slight arch support (just not as much as you would expect from a tennis shoe maker I guess), but just not what I was looking for. If the color was more of an off-white color, I might re-think keeping them. Just thought I'd share.

These are fantastically comfortable shoes. They are great for walking. I also love the style. The only problem was that they don't give good traction on slippery floors.

Nice shoes. Perfect for everyday usage. I am very happy with them, just I would have preferred shoes with more internal support. This model has non removable insoles so I could not switch them up.

I love the style and color. But they feel a bit tighter than the standard leather Mexico 66. I was wondering if I should have gone half a size up.

Definitely one of my favorite pairs of Tigers I've owned. Perfect for times when you want to be a little dressier, but still casual at the same time. My only complaint is that it's not as comfy as other Tigers I've owned.

Love these shoes. Perfect for casual days. The only problem is there isn't much arch support so I don't recommend a long day of walking. Zappos Rocks!

Stylish, but flimsy - These shoes are definitely not as sturdy as my old pumas and don't appear as if they will last half as long as my old shoes because the leather is thin and flimsy. There is some weird padding in the arch that feels awkward and there could be more cushion in the sole. Appearance-wise, they look great.

Accurate sizing - Good street shoes. Quality manufacturing and materials. People say "wow nice shoes you lucky son of a gun" which is nice to hear from time to time.

Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 - Very comfortable, good looking shoe with a minimum of padding. Seems well made. Has an annoying little leather tab on the back that won't stay down.

Looks great, needs breaking in - I bought a size 7 men's shoe to fit a size 8.5 women's and it fits awesome as with all Onitsuka Tigers, I believe. First couple of wears the back of the shoe has rubbed the back of my ankles pretty badly. The back flap, while aesthetically sharp, often flips up. Other than that, a very stylish shoe, just probably needs breaking in to get used to.

Onitsuka Tiger/Asics Mexico '66 - Nice retro shoe. Size was true to expectations; sizing was as ordered and expected. A point to remember/consider; if you're used to sole cushion athletic shoes, and plenty of cushion, e.g. the Asics Nimbus series (a personal favorite) or other current running shoes w/lots of cushion, the Mexico '66 is far less cushiony, it feels flat. Ok, it's more for looks than for function...so be it! I'm glad I bought a pair!

Great blast from the past - They may be a bit expensive, but a remarkably high standard build. No loose ends or gaping seams here. This is, despite its 40 year old design, a sneaker yardstick in design and execution. Even the laces come in perfection, laced and knitted out off the box. The shoe really fits like a snug glove with much more all around support than what you would expect from a shoe this small and light, but your toes are not squeezed together. The leather feels thin and soft. The sole doesn’t feel too soft to lack support, but not so hard to feel harsh. You can really wear these all day in pretty much any condition, although I would not rate these as athletic footwear by any definition these days. Even the walk is quiet and soft like real “sneakers” should be without squeaks or cracking. This shoe feels also equally nice with or without socks. There are no sharp edges or seams to be felt and no sweaty plastic insole. he only pair of sneakers I ever owned to come close to feel and comfort was my Puma Sprint shoes that I have worn out to the stitching, but they felt much more “plastic”. Downsides are the pointy outsoles that pick up dirt. The heel tag with the “Tiger” banner tends to ride up in your jeans, but it is there to snug your feet in when putting them on. These shoes really look good under stone washed jeans. Real designer sneakers that nobody mistakes for “trainers”. This is one example of how making and perfecting one or few designs works better than putting out dozens of new models out each season. I found these on a business trip to Japan and bought them at home later, but I didn’t expect them to feel this good.

Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66: a very comfortable shoe - These Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66's are very comfortable, I’d recommend wearing them with thin socks and/or ankle socks. They are pretty light in weight, and that's a big plus as well.

Stylish & Comfortable - I really like these shoes. They look really stylish and are very comfortable. If you have wide feet like me, you may need to go a 1/2 size up so your toes have ample room. Other than that, I recommend these shoes.

Great shoe, no real complaints - This shoe is really comfortable to walk in as just an everyday shoe. I feel nearly everything I walk on. The yellow tread sticks out a little more than desired, but a great shoe none the less.

Look great, but not much support for tennis shoes - I was looking for a tennis shoe that was cool looking but also comfortable. When I got them, they looked even better than I thought-high quality leather and suede, and very vibrant color (kelly green). But, they offer very little support. They felt more like flats than tennis shoes. They looked so good that I decided to keep them anyway. I got some inserts to make them more comfortable and have more support, and I'm very pleased with them.

Great shoes - These shoes lasted me for about four months before the sole started wearing through and causing me problems. Not bad for being my primary shoe in a place where I had to walk everywhere. These are fairly thin soled shoes, which turned out to be the reason I had to get rid of them but I would definitely buy them again!

Fantastic form - It fits true to size (however I do have slightly narrow feet). Very lightweight, they make you feel oddly nimble. The soles are a tad thin, but that is what gives them their flexibility. Great shoes for around town, fencing, work (where applicable) and any other moderately harsh sport activity.

I have problems with fit as the front of my foot is just over a medium and my heel is narrow. A wide is usually too wide and a medium too narrow! Also, I'm a size 10 ½. I ordered both the 10 ½ and an 11. The 10 ½ fit well in length and width. Roomier I guess because of the unisex sizing. The arch of the shoe hit me in the wrong place; my low arch didn't correspond to the insole. Very little padding in shoe and sole was quite thin. Wonder how these will wear? I put an insert in the shoe and it is more comfortable, although I can't wear them for long or I feel it in my legs. They are a good looking shoe and I think with the rounded toe it makes my foot look smaller. Zappos is fantastic to deal with. FAST shipping and easy returns, THANKS Zappos!

Great Looking Casual Shoe - Great looking shoes, but very thin so not much cushioning. Comfortable for short amounts of time.

Nice casual shoe - Great looking shoe with very thin sole. Comfortable if you don't plan to do much walking.

Just as promised - First off, thanks for such fast delivery... The Tiger Mexico 66 was surprisingly a lot more comfortable than the Tai Chi version, this has more cushion which I really like, the suede part of the shoe gets dirty really fast and is hard to keep clean, never the less I will buy other colors of the Mexico 66... Order a half size smaller, this one runs bigger than its true size; I wear a 10 and ordered a 9 1/2 and it fits perfect...

Decent shoes - I usually stick to Adidas and tried these for a change. They are ok. Sole looks like it’s gonna wear out quick. They are comfy for what they are. I tried playing tennis in them, and that was a mistake. Good driving shoes, makes it easy to feel the pedals. I don’t think I will buy these again though. I will go back to Sambas. They are less expensive and will last twice as long.

Overall, pleased. Shipped within a day! Amazing! I've only worn them a couple of times, but I always get compliments when I do.

Snazzy Shoes - These shoes are really cool lookin and feel pretty good too. Some important notes: -the "Tiger" tag at the back doesn't stay down a lot. -The actual leather material is very thin, so I normally wear size 15 with padding but had to order size 13. -there is absolutely no arch support.
