FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Mexico 66 is inspired by running shoes and offers good cushioning for walking and everyday comfort. However, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers and not for intense athletic training or competitive running.
How do I clean the metallic gold leather?
Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher marks, a specialized leather cleaner for metallic finishes can be used cautiously. Always test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
What material are the white stripes made of?
The iconic white stripes are typically made of synthetic leather or a similar material that complements the leather upper.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Sizing can vary between brands and models. It is recommended to consult a size guide and, if possible, try them on or check customer reviews regarding fit.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated for some water resistance, these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended, and they should be dried thoroughly if they get wet.
What is the main difference between this and other Mexico 66 models?
The primary difference is the colorway and material finish. This specific model features a distinctive metallic gold calf leather upper with white accents.
Troubleshooting
Scuff marks on metallic finish
Gently buff the area with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For persistent marks, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for metallic leathers, applying sparingly with a soft cloth.
Leather feels stiff or dry
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner specifically formulated for calfskin leather. Ensure it's suitable for metallic finishes and test on a hidden spot first.
Discoloration from water exposure
Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from heat. If significant discoloration occurs, professional shoe cleaning might be necessary.
