FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Mexico 66 SD are primarily lifestyle trainers designed for casual wear and comfort. While they have a heritage in athletic design, they are not specialized running shoes for intense training.
How do I clean the yellow midsole?
The yellow midsole can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher marks, a magic eraser or specialized sneaker cleaner can be used carefully, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
What does 'SD' stand for in Mexico 66 SD?
The 'SD' likely refers to 'Soft Density' or a similar designation indicating enhanced cushioning and comfort features compared to older models.
What is the inspiration behind these trainers?
These specific trainers are inspired by the iconic yellow sneakers worn by Uma Thurman in the movie "Kill Bill Vol. 1."
Is the leather water-resistant?
The premium leather offers some natural resistance, but it is not fully waterproof. Applying a leather protector spray is recommended for added water repellency.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, glue, and overall construction of the trainers.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff initially.
This is normal for new leather. Wear the shoes for short periods to break them in. Conditioning the leather can also help soften it.
Sizing feels off.
Refer to the Onitsuka Tiger sizing chart for accurate measurements. Some users find these trainers run slightly narrow or small, so consider trying them on or ordering half a size up if unsure.
Color transfer from stripes or leather.
Ensure shoes are dry before wearing with light-colored socks. A protective spray for leather and textiles can help minimize color transfer. Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive moisture.
