FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Mexico 66 is a lifestyle trainer designed for casual daily use, not for running or intensive sports.
How do I clean velvet trainers?
Use a soft brush to remove loose debris. Avoid water and liquid detergents, as they can cause water spots or damage the velvet texture.
Are these sneakers unisex?
While these are listed for men, the classic Mexico 66 design is often considered unisex; please verify your specific size against the size chart.
Do they provide good arch support?
They feature a comfortable cushioned insole designed for general comfort, but they do not contain medical-grade orthopedic arch support.
Can I wear these in the winter?
They are best suited for dry, cool, or temperate conditions. Snow and slush will likely damage the velvet material.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt trapped in the velvet nap
Use a specialized soft-bristled suede or velvet brush to gently lift the dirt without crushing the fibers.
Shoes feel tight after long periods of wear
Ensure the laces are not over-tightened; if the fit remains uncomfortable, consider wearing thinner socks to allow for better airflow.
