Sizing can vary slightly between individuals. Many users find they are true to size, but some recommend going up half a size if you have wider feet or prefer more toe room.
Can I wear these for running or sports?
While inspired by athletic heritage, the Mexico 66 are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They are not recommended for high-impact sports or serious running.
How do I clean the white stripes on the shoe?
For the white accents, use a soft brush or a magic eraser gently. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
What is the material of the Mexico 66 trainers?
The primary material for the upper of the Mexico 66 trainers is leather, complemented by synthetic materials for the iconic stripes and detailing.

Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try inserting a talc-free powder inside the shoe or checking if the insole is properly seated.
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a good quality leather conditioner to the affected areas and allow it to absorb. Repeat if necessary.
Difficulty getting the right fit
Consider trying on different sizes or consulting the brand's sizing chart carefully. Some users find sizing up half a size provides more room.
Scuff marks on the leather
For minor scuffs, try using a leather cleaner or a magic eraser gently. For deeper marks, a leather recoloring balm might be needed.
