Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66®

I love this shoe, but find it runs large. I usually wear a 11.5/12 US or 45 European. The website only showed US sizes. I ordered the 12 and discovered it was too big. Went down to US 11 (which was a 45 European) to get the right fit. I suggest Zappos shows the US and European sizes to help in ordering. As other reviews have indicated, this shoe seems to have good arch support for a shoe that looks to be flat.

I love this shoe. I wear (and bought) a Women's 12N. I bought it as a comfy, casual shoe that wouldn't look so athletic. The material is a soft, thick felt, and goes great with jeans or casual pants. I have been wearing it nonstop since it arrived! I will consider adding an insole for some arch support and don't anticipate it affecting the fit.

First time buyer, great experience with Zappos. I think I'll buy some more of these.

I love my new kicks! These are just what I was looking for in a casual, yet hip looking sneaker. Easy to dress up, great with jeans... Others have complained about the tabs that stick out of the back, but it's easy enough to just tuck them in and they go unnoticed. Not sure how athletes ran with these in the Olympics, with such a thin sole, but they are super comfy for walking around town. Love 'em.

Really good looking and lightweight shoes. I have size 13 feet that tend to look huge in shoes like these, but the Onitsukas don't have that effect. These are certainly not what I would choose to walk 15 miles in, but they're great for strolling around town or just hanging out.

this is my new favorite shoe! I hope they never stop making these, and Zappos never stops selling them because they are incredibly comfy, and they look killer. They're excellent quality too. I used to have Sambas, and those don't even compare to these Tigers. Finally, I had to order a 1/2 size smaller than my normal size for the perfect fit. Buy these shoes (from Zappos of course!).

It seem the Onitsuka line needs to carry separate reviews for the different variations. A major flaw of The Mexico 66 is its complete lack of traction on a wet smooth surface. The micro diamond tread (unique to this model) is very ineffective in this regard. In addition the sole does not offer much padding and feels thin. Needless to say I was quite shocked at my negative experience of these shoes in the face of almost universal acclaim of the Onitsuka Tiger. This, I think, is due to the reviews for all models being lumped together because the Mexico 66 is certainly no 5 star shoe.

I have about 8 pairs of these in various colors. They go great with many styles of jeans and they are not as flat or hard as other classic track shoes or similar styles.

These are my first pair of Onitsuka Tiger, and they are amazingly comfortable. I also thought that getting white would get dirty right away, but my shoes still look brand new even after using them when it rains.

Don't buy the Zappos exclusive Onitsuka Tigers! They are not leather like the true Onitsukas. The Zappos exclusive shoes were very uncomfortable and hurt my feet. The original Onitsuka Tigers Mexico 66 felt like pillows on my feet. In fact I have a pair that I am trying to replace and they have a hole in the bottom of the shoe after wearing them every day walking to and from work for 2 years and they are still the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. these rip off fakes don't even compare!

A good looking shoe that really only needed a day or two to break in. Very lightweight and very nimble. Not the warmest pair of sneakers for the winter, but they're good for a college student whose outdoor experience is primarily shuffling between classes. Some areas where the craftsmanship could be better (busted seams, exposed glue) but overall something I expect to wear for some time.

Love these shoes. Comfortable from day one. I am on my feet most of the day, and never felt a thing. They sit really well with regular jeans or slim fit.

These shoes are super cute and have that "euro" style that I was looking for. I was a little hesitant because I thought it would look too masculine but when I received them and tried them on, it was perfect! I normally wear a size 5.5 and these are a little too big, but it feels and looks great. I'm definitely hooked on these bad boys!

I love the look of these shoes. But after buying 2 pairs, I can't recommend them because the suede toe gets instantly dirty and is impossible to clean. I think its a combination of the outside dirt, and sweat from my toes, but the tip of the suede is all dark, almost black. The first pair did this. so the 2nd pair, i made sure i put on suede protector. Then when they started discoloring, I tried suede cleaner and brushes, and it still looks crappy.

I love these. They are a bit big, but can work that out with the laces and heavier socks. I love the casual look without wearing typical athletic shoes.

I don't know if it's my foot or the shoe but the right shoe felt off. I only noticed it after I walked around outside for a while. The back part would rub against my Achilles tendon region and cut it. The shoes were too dirty to return so I just cut off those tabs in the back to make some extra room and they fit better now.

Love these shoes. These are my fifth pair. I wear them to work and walk around in. They're very comfortable for my feet. I have narrow feel. They're unisex size so I normally wear a 7 in womens but I got a 6.5 equivalent because the 7 were too big. Overall, highly recommend.

Low quality feeling, thin, and stiff. Not nearly as nice as Onitsuka Tigers I have purchased in the past. Not sure why these are so different. I've loved my others, but I disliked these as soon as I saw them.

This is my 2nd pair. I love the look and feel of these. No arch support, and also the treads tend to be fairly slick on some wet surfaces and also wear out within about a year. Still love 'em though!

I've been looking for a black pair of Onitsuka Tiger by Asics Mexico 66 with white stripes. Black ones usually come in any other color but white. When I found these I didn't think twice and bought them. When I received them I got a little bit disappointing because the leather looked kind of fake, plastic. However, after a couple of days of use, the leather started to look more like leather and they really look good besides that I like shoes with personality (wear and tear). Overall the shoes are great! Nice fit,true to size, comfortable and super light.

Great looking shoe, but the most uncomfortable shoe I have ever tried on. Virtually like wearing a board on your feet, absolutely no support.

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.

If you want a snoeakers to run. This is not a good option for it.... but this shoes style is wonderful and actually are very comfortable. I recommended it so much if you want a retro image.

Really good looking, low profile shoe. I love the style of them. Definitely get a half size smaller than you normally would though. I have 2 pairs of the Onitsuka Tiger Serrano's and those fit true to size, but these are a good half size long. Not the most comfortable to walk long distances in, but good for casual wear. I recommend them.
