FAQs

What is the main inspiration behind the Mexico 66 design?

The Mexico 66 design is inspired by the footwear worn by athletes at the 1968 Olympic Games, capturing a classic retro athletic look.

Are these shoes suitable for running or intense sports?

The Mexico 66 are designed for casual wear and light activities. They are not intended for high-performance running or intense athletic training.

How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and revive the nap. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth with a suede cleaner can be used, followed by brushing.

What materials are the Mexico 66 trainers made from?

The trainers are typically made with a leather upper and feature suede paneling. The sole is constructed from durable rubber.

Do these trainers run true to size?

Generally, the Mexico 66 fit true to size for most people. However, trying them on or checking customer reviews for specific fit feedback is always recommended.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to treat them with a water-repellent spray for added protection.

What does the "66" in Mexico 66 refer to?

The "66" refers to the year 1966, when the design was first developed as part of a training shoe line for the upcoming Mexico Olympics.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Thicker socks can also help stretch them slightly during wear.

Scuffs on leather or suede

For leather, use a leather cleaner and conditioner. For suede, use a suede eraser and brush. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

Slippery sole on wet surfaces

The classic tread offers good grip, but like all rubber soles, traction can be reduced on very wet or smooth surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
