FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Generally, the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 SD runs true to size. However, it's always recommended to check user reviews or consult the brand's specific sizing chart for the most accurate fit, as foot shapes can vary.
How do I clean the silver accents?
For the silver accents, use a soft cloth lightly dampened with water. If there is slight tarnishing, a very mild silver polish applied sparingly with a cotton swab might be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Can these sneakers be worn in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated for water resistance, these shoes are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions. Prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the leather and sole.
What is the primary material used?
The primary material for the upper of the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 SD is leather.
What type of shoe are these?
These are low-top, retro-style sneakers.
Can I put these in a washing machine?
No, absolutely not. Machine washing will damage the leather and construction of the shoes. Always clean them by hand using appropriate methods for leather footwear.
What does 'SD' stand for in Mexico 66 SD?
The 'SD' typically stands for 'Super Deluxe,' indicating an updated or enhanced version of the original classic model, often with improved cushioning or materials.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing excessively
Ensure the shoes fit correctly. Avoid over-tightening laces. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape. Minor creasing is natural with leather.
Discoloration from dirt or water
Clean immediately with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner. Always allow shoes to air dry naturally away from heat sources. Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray.
Sole feels stiff
The shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. The sole will become more flexible with use.
