FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Mexico 66 SD trainers are designed for casual wear and light activity. They are not recommended for high-impact sports like running, as they lack the specialized support and cushioning required for such activities.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Onitsuka Tiger or the retailer. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the sizing guide. Many users find they fit true to size, but individual fit can vary.
Can I wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially due to the leather material. Cleaning should be done by hand using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
What is the difference between Mexico 66 and Mexico 66 SD?
The 'SD' in Mexico 66 SD stands for 'Special Duty,' indicating that this version incorporates modern updates for enhanced comfort and performance, such as improved cushioning and support, compared to the original Mexico 66 design.
How durable is the leather?
The leather is of good quality and designed for durability in casual wear. However, like all leather products, it can be susceptible to scuffs and wear over time. Proper care and protection will extend its lifespan.
What kind of socks should I wear with them?
For everyday comfort, standard athletic or casual socks work well. If you find the shoes slightly snug, thinner socks might be preferable. For breathability, opt for natural fiber socks.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. Wear with appropriate socks. Leather may stretch slightly with wear; consider a shoe stretcher if the tightness is significant.
Slight squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur with new footwear. Try wearing them for a few more hours, or check if there's any debris in the sole or between the sole and upper.
Leather scuffs or marks
For minor scuffs, try a leather cleaner or a specialized eraser. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service. Apply leather conditioner regularly to keep the material supple.
Sole feels stiff
New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Flexing the sole manually can also help soften it.
