FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Mexico 66 SD is designed primarily for casual wear and comfort. While they offer good support for walking, they are not specialized running shoes and lack the advanced cushioning and stability features required for athletic running.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Onitsuka Tiger. Generally, they fit true to size, but personal preference for tightness or looseness can vary. The UK 7.5 size is specified for this particular product listing.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated for some water resistance, these shoes are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the leather.
How long does the leather typically take to break in?
The break-in period varies per individual, but most users find the Mexico 66 SD comfortable after a few wears. Significant break-in usually occurs within the first week of regular use.
What is the difference between the Mexico 66 and the Mexico 66 SD?
The 'SD' in Mexico 66 SD stands for 'Soft Density,' indicating that this model features updated cushioning and comfort technologies for enhanced everyday wearability compared to the original Mexico 66.
How should I clean the silver accents?
For the silver accents, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these could damage the finish.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or stiff
Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Wearing them with thicker socks around the house can also help stretch the leather.
Leather creasing excessively
Some creasing is natural with leather. Ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the shoe's shape and minimize deep creases.
Discoloration or scuff marks on leather
Use a leather cleaner appropriate for the shoe's color. For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner or a colored shoe polish might help restore the appearance. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
New shoe soles can sometimes be slick. Lightly scuffing the soles on a rough surface or using an anti-slip spray designed for footwear can improve traction.
