About the Ontisuka Tiger Mexico 66 Espadrilla:
I don't write reviews usually, but I am finally satisfied with a product.
I have been looking for a shoe like this for a long time.
A shoe that you can look like Miami Vice, but even go to the beach with.
1) It is very light, perfect for spring/summer
2) it is very comfortable
3) it is elegant enough to be worn with linen trousers, Miami Vice style (not the blue ones:), or casual business attire
4) at the same time it's 'cheap' enough to be worn even to go to the beach (just don't get them wet with sea water, it's not good for the sole and the shoes will stink, even though they are washable and the smell actually goes away)
5) it is pretty robust and it lasts quite a long time, for being a very light shoe.
Also, when you are in a hurry you can put them on and wear them with the heel down if you want (like a true espadrille), and you can easily put it up again using the slip. So simple and elegant, why didn't manufacturers think of this before?
ALWAYS wear them with socks. Why? Like with espadrilles and many other light shoes, sweat smell will stay in the fabric. Washing 'might' help or not. Also, it's really much easier and more comfortable to walk without sticky shoes on you, and socks actually keep your feet cooler, not the other way around.
