FAQs
What makes the Mexico 66 SD 'Kill Bill' edition special?

Are these trainers suitable for running or athletic activities?
The Mexico 66 SD is primarily a lifestyle and casual wear trainer. While comfortable for walking, they are not designed for high-impact athletic performance or serious running.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the Onitsuka Tiger sizing chart for accurate measurements. These trainers generally follow standard UK sizing, but trying them on is recommended if possible.

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.
How often should I clean and condition the leather?
Clean the shoes after significant wear or if they appear dirty. Conditioning the leather once every few months, or as needed to maintain suppleness, is advisable.
What is the primary material of these trainers?
The primary material is premium leather for the upper, contributing to comfort, durability, and a classic aesthetic. The midsole is notably made of a distinct yellow material.
Is this a unisex model?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Leather can stretch slightly over time. Wear them for short periods initially. If still uncomfortable, consider using shoe stretchers or consulting a cobbler.
Squeaking noise from the sole
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers. Try sprinkling a little talcum powder under the insole or ensuring the shoes are completely dry.
Discoloration on leather
Ensure proper care and avoid exposing the shoes to harsh chemicals or prolonged direct sunlight. Use a leather cleaner and conditioner specifically designed for yellow leather.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: For leather parts, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For stubborn stains, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. This prevents the leather from cracking or losing its shape.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and damage. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade the colors.
- Conditioning: Periodically condition the leather with a leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent it from drying out or cracking.
