FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Mexico 66 is designed as a lifestyle and fashion trainer, not for high-intensity running or athletic performance.
Do these fit true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing conventions for adult footwear.
How do I clean the leather?
Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaning solution applied with a soft brush.
Is this a unisex model?
The series includes both gender-specific and unisex options depending on the color and sizing variant chosen.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While durable, the leather construction should be protected from excessive moisture. If they get wet, air-dry them slowly away from direct heat sources.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.
Difficulty maintaining cleanliness on light-colored areas
Apply a leather-safe stain repellent spray and wipe gently with a damp cloth immediately after contact with dirt.
Slippery insoles or lack of support
Consider adding a thin third-party ergonomic insole if additional arch support is needed for long days of walking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Mexico 66 is constructed from leather, proper care is essential to extend the life of the trainers. Clean the outer shell using a soft cloth or specialized leather cleaner to remove dirt or debris. Avoid soaking the shoes in water, as this can damage the material. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. Compatibility is high for casual wardrobes, and sizing is standard for the UK adult foot measurements provided.
