Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66®

I like the feel of "barefoot" minimalist running shoes, but needed something stiffer for riding my bike to work. With my Merrell Barefoots, the soles were so flexible that the pedal edges dug painfully into my feet. The Mexico 66 shoes are a decent compromise. They're still relatively thin and lightweight, but the soles are stiff enough to ride my bike comfortably. They took a week or two to break in. Only real issue I had was the excess arch support in the form of a foam wedge glued underneath the insole. They were much more comfortable after ripping the foam out.

The shoes were great except the bottom was a little narrow. Being a fat woman, my foot slid off to the side because the "base" wasn't wide enough for my foot and that is not a good look for me.

Very cool, soccer-ish shoes. Remind me of the Adidas Sambas I had back in the day, without being outright soccer shoes. Very little cushioning so I had to put gel insoles in them or my feet and legs would have been always aching after wearing them. They're cool though, get plenty of compliments on them.

These are great shoes for work, where I need to run around a lot and keep up a semi professional appearance. I purchased them after owning a pair of California 78s for a month or so and I do prefer the California 78 style of shoe. The sole on the Mexico 66 is fairly thin, and the heel cup was very stiff at first and required some break in time.

These are great shoes. This is the second pair that I have owned, but for some reason these feel half a size larger than the old pair.

This pair of shoes is simply excellent for everyday use, provided you have normal feet that are not too broad. These shoes are easy to mix and match with clothing. These can also be used as trainers as they are thin and lightweight (they were actually used in the 1966 Olympics), but for long distances perhaps you should look to shoes with more cushioning.

Sharp and comfortable. I don't love the tab on the back, but that's pretty minor.

I loved my Converse sneakers that I wore for the past two years, but they had no support. I needed a low, casual sneaker for chasing my toddler around the playground this summer. So far, this sneaker is doing the job well. Only thing is there is suede accents, which I don't think is particularly summery, but I would definitely recommend.

These shoes look great. The only problem I am experiencing right now is probably due to the way I walk but I find that my foot slides to one side of the shoe causing some discomfort. On the up side I like the materials used and flexibility of the shoe. I am happy with my purchase!

A very lightweight shoe that is great for walking. It's great for a casual look or even if you're walking into the office.

I have wanted to try this shoe out for a while. My Puma Romas finally gave out. It also seems they quit manufacturing the multi color styles. So now was the time to venture into new horizons. The shoe is comfy. I have a bit of a wide flat foot. The arch is not to high to be bothersome. Would not recommend as a running shoe. Good casual stylish shoe is what they seem to be meant for. Sole is a bit thin not a great breather. Still shoe is comfy and stylish. Good for walking and chilling around the neighborhood.

These shoes are narrow and can hurt if you have wide feet. They also make your feet look small, for better or worse.

Very cool shoes. I find the soles to be very tough. Almost like shoe fancy leather shoe. The upper body of the shoe really loosened up nicely and I appreciate the sort of loose leather it has become.

Wear a 7.5 in women's and ordered the 7.5 and they were true to size. Took a few days of wearing them in till they became comfortable but now they are good to go. First full day was a little tough on the sole of your foot, the shoe doesn't have much support, very flat. Ordered the birch color and love the look, lots of compliments. Great overall service from Zappos as usual, which I appreciate!

I love the way these look! The only annoying thing is the Tiger flap on the back doesn't always stay down.

Great stylish little shoe. Fits like a glove and is a pretty light shoe. They seem to get creases pretty easily in the toe area where your toes bend and the tabs in the back do not stay down. I love the tabs in the back, I just wish they would have sewed them down. You can also just tuck them in the heel of your shoe if you don't want them to show. All in all though, a really nicely made shoe that's quite comfortable. Feels like I'm walking in my bare feet, which I love. But if you're looking for a cushy ride, probably not the best shoe for you.

After months of searching for new shoes to replace my dying Puma Ligas, I finally found Tigers, both the 66 and 81. The 66's are fantastic! They do have a bit of arch support, but if you need lots of support you may find these shoes uncomfortable. The soles are thin, but didn't seem to be quite as thin as I had read. They're certainly not as thin as the sole on the racing inspired type shoes Puma and Adidas offer. The 66's are quite comfortable, but very minimal; pretty much a leather shell with a sole glued on. Sizing is dead on. I wear a 9.5 dress shoe and 9.5 in the 66's is a perfect fit for me. If minimal and stylish is your bag, grab a pair these Tigers; you won't be disappointed!

Overall, a very good shoe. This particular color pattern goes well with many different outfits, and it's fairly durable (my previous Onitsuka Tigers were a little bit too "breathable" and I couldn't wear them in the rain). These aren't "athletic" shoes in terms of support, and they can get stained or scuffed without much effort, but so long as you take decent care of them (perhaps don't wear them to the Hindu paint-throwing festival of Holi) they're a very sound investment.

Not bad, bought these to rock with shorts for the summer. I may add another pair in the future.

I brought these shoes to be different from what everybody else is rocking and they are the truth. I like them.

Nice looking shoe. I wanted something cool to wear with my Japanese Selvage Jeans. A little tight if you have a high arch like me but wear it for a week and it will break in. These have a thin sole so they are old school bare foot runners! See, they have been around all this time.

I absolutely Love these sneakers. They are pretty thin though and offer no real support. I only wear these out if I know I am not going to be walking too much because after a while of walking your knees start to hurt. I never had that with any other show or sneaker.

Was looking for something casual, but not too athletic to wear with jeans. Like the style of these shoes, but they do not have any support like an athletic shoe. I am happy with my purchase, but wish the had a little more support. Also, I wear a size 12 womens shoe and purchased the size recommended by the pull-down menu (10.5 mens / 12 womens). Shoe is true to size and not too wide like many men's shoes are.

I have never worn a pair of Asics but I regularly wear Indoor soccer (football) shoes. No complaints really although it took a week to break them in. Fairly comfortable and made well in my opinion.
