FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the Mexico 66 has roots in running shoe design, the 'Gold' variant is best suited for casual wear and light activities. They are not designed for intense athletic training.

How do I clean the metallic gold leather?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For stubborn marks, test a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for metallic finishes on a hidden area first.

Do these trainers run true to size?

Sizing can vary between brands and models. It is recommended to check the brand's sizing chart and consider trying them on if possible for the best fit.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The leather material is not inherently waterproof. While a protector spray can offer some resistance, it's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent damage to the leather and suede components.

What is the main difference between this model and other Mexico 66 trainers?

The primary difference is the colorway and finish. This model features a distinctive metallic gold leather upper with white accents, offering a bolder aesthetic compared to other standard color options.

How should I store these trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as this can trap moisture.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear them with thicker socks for a short period to allow the leather to stretch slightly. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is correct for your foot.

Metallic finish appears dull or scratched

Gently buff the affected area with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For minor scuffs, specialized leather restorers for metallic finishes may be available, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Squeaking noise during walking

This can sometimes happen due to friction between the insole and the shoe base, or from moisture. Try placing a powder insert or talcum powder under the insole, or ensure the shoes are completely dry.

Outsole shows signs of wear

Regular cleaning can help prolong the life of the outsole. For significant wear, consult a shoe repair specialist for potential resoling options.
