FAQs

Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 SD suitable for running?

While they offer enhanced comfort for a retro shoe, the Mexico 66 SD is primarily designed for casual wear and walking, not for high-impact running or athletic training.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the Onitsuka Tiger sizing chart, which typically aligns with standard UK/US sizing. The product description also mentions the specific UK size available (e.g., UK 14).

Is the leather upper waterproof?

The leather is water-resistant to a degree, but not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain can saturate the material. Using a leather protector spray can improve water resistance.

Can I machine wash these sneakers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.

What is the main difference between the Mexico 66 and Mexico 66 SD?

The 'SD' designation typically indicates a 'Special Edition' or updated version, often featuring improved cushioning, a more durable sole, and modern comfort technologies compared to the original Mexico 66.

How often should I clean my Mexico 66 SD shoes?

Clean them as needed based on wear. For regular use, a light wipe-down after each wear and a more thorough cleaning periodically is advisable.

Do these shoes come in other colors?

The Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 SD model is available in a variety of colorways. This guide focuses on the Grey/Silver variant, but other options may exist.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially. Consider using thicker socks or specialized shoe stretchers if the tightness persists.

Leather creasing excessively

Creasing is natural for leather. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Use shoe trees for storage to help maintain shape.

Scuffs or minor stains on leather

For minor scuffs, try a leather conditioner. For stains, use a product specifically designed for leather shoe cleaning, testing it on an inconspicuous area first.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

The rubber outsoles may have varying grip. If slipperiness is an issue, consider a light scuffing of the sole with fine-grit sandpaper or using an anti-slip spray designed for footwear.

Compatibility: The Mexico 66 SD is designed for casual wear and pairs well with a variety of casual clothing such as jeans, shorts, joggers, and casual dresses.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Leather Upper: Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner, applying it sparingly with a soft cloth.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to gently clean the rubber parts. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  3. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
  4. Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially for the suede accents if present in other colorways.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe box or dust bag to maintain their shape and condition.
