FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
The Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 SD are designed primarily as lifestyle and casual wear shoes. While they offer comfort for everyday activities, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact sports like running.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Onitsuka Tiger or the retailer. It's often recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with their specific sizing guide, as retro models can sometimes fit differently than modern trainers.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended for these leather trainers as it can damage the material and construction.
What is the significance of the "SD" in Mexico 66 SD?
The "SD" typically refers to 'Super Deluxe' or 'Soft Density', indicating enhancements in cushioning and comfort technology compared to the original Mexico 66 models.
How durable is the yellow midsole?
The midsole is constructed for durability under normal lifestyle wear. However, like any midsole material, prolonged exposure to extreme conditions or excessive abrasion can affect its integrity.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather can withstand light moisture, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the leather and maintain their condition.
Troubleshooting
Leather creases or scuffs easily.
Regular cleaning and conditioning can help minimize the appearance of creases. For minor scuffs, a leather eraser or a specialized leather cleaner may be effective. Protective sprays designed for leather can also help prevent scuffs.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
New shoes can sometimes have less grip. Walking on varied surfaces can help 'break in' the soles. If the issue persists on smooth surfaces, consider a professional application of a grip-enhancing sole treatment.
Laces fray or break.
Replace frayed or broken laces with standard shoelaces of a similar length and color. Many sports or shoe stores carry replacement laces.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 SD trainers:
- Cleaning the Leather: Wipe the leather exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the leather.
- Cleaning the Midsole: Use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush or cloth to clean the yellow midsole. Ensure all soap residue is wiped away.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat or sunlight, as this can cause the leather to crack or warp.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and damage.
