FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 SD trainers are inspired by sports heritage but are best suited for casual wear and walking. For intense running or athletic activities, specialized running shoes would provide better performance and support.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the UK sizing provided. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the brand's sizing chart. Trying them on, if possible, is the most accurate way to ensure a good fit.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, do not machine wash these trainers. The leather and construction materials can be damaged by a washing machine. Hand clean using a damp cloth and appropriate leather care products.
What does 'SD' in Mexico 66 SD stand for?
The 'SD' typically stands for 'Super Durable', indicating an enhanced durability construction for the sole compared to some earlier models.
How do I care for the yellow midsole?
Wipe the midsole gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution on a cloth can be used, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth.
What is the warranty period for these trainers?
Warranty information varies by retailer. Please check the specific terms and conditions provided by the seller at the time of purchase for details on the warranty.
Troubleshooting
Stiffness in new trainers
Leather can be stiff when new. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. You can also use a shoe stretcher or condition the leather with a leather conditioner to help soften it.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the shoe or the insole. Try applying talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole, or to the tongue area, to reduce friction.
Discoloration on leather
Clean the affected area gently with a damp cloth. For persistent discoloration, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for yellow and black leather, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
New rubber soles can sometimes be slick. Lightly scuffing the sole on a rough surface or using a sole grip spray can improve traction.

- Drying: If the trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray to guard against water and stains, especially if you plan to wear them in varied weather conditions.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, preferably in their original box or a dust bag to prevent damage and maintain their shape.
