FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Mexico 66 generally fits true to size, though the slim design may feel more snug than standard athletic trainers.
Can I use these for running?
While originally inspired by track shoes, modern Mexico 66s are lifestyle sneakers and are not recommended for serious long-distance running or high-impact activities.
How do I maintain the color vibrancy?
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and water to preserve the depth of the black and red pigments.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The silhouette is naturally slim. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the fit tight across the midfoot.
Can the insoles be replaced?
The internal liners can usually be replaced with thinner aftermarket insoles if you require specific arch support.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the material
Use a shoe tree when not wearing to help the shoe maintain its shape and reduce natural stress lines.
Dirt buildup on the outsole
Use an old toothbrush and mild detergent to gently scrub the rubber edges, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Mexico 66 trainers stay in optimal condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the colors over time. Since these are low-profile trainers, they are compatible with most casual hosiery, though thin or no-show socks are recommended to maintain the silhouette. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. If the material requires a deeper clean, dampen a soft cloth with mild soapy water and gently wipe the surface. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh industrial cleaners as this may damage the materials.
