Full details

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Mexico 66 Sabot is designed for lifestyle and casual use. The open-heel design does not provide the support required for running.
Does the Sabot version have laces?
No, this model is a dedicated slip-on shoe and does not feature a lacing system.
How do I determine my size?
These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your usual size, keeping in mind the open-back style.
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, they are designed to be comfortable even without socks, though wearing no-show socks can help manage moisture if worn for long periods.
How do I maintain the vibrant colors?
Avoid leaving the shoes in direct heat or sunlight for extended periods, as UV exposure can cause the red and yellow pigments to fade over time.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping out while walking
Ensure your sizing is correct; since there is no heel counter, a proper fit is essential to keep the shoe secure.
Leather showing scuff marks
Use a matching color leather cream or neutral leather conditioner to buff out light scuffs and restore the finish.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Since this is a slip-on model, no adjustments to laces are required. To ensure your shoes stay in peak condition:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For tougher stains, use a leather-specific cleaner.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant red and yellow leather from fading.
- Compatibility: These shoes are best worn with casual trousers, jeans, or shorts. Avoid wearing them with performance technical socks that might be too thick, as the backless design relies on a snug fit to stay on the foot while walking.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the rubber sole for trapped debris to maintain maximum grip.
