FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, machine washing can permanently damage the velvet material and the structure of the shoe.

Do the Mexico 66 trainers run true to size?

Generally, they follow standard sizing, but because they have a slim fit, some users prefer a half-size up for extra room.

Can I wear these in the rain?

It is not recommended. Velvet is absorbent and can become stained or matted when exposed to rain or mud.

Are they suitable for running?

These are casual fashion trainers and are not designed for high-performance athletic activities like running.

How do I maintain the color vibrancy?

Keep the shoes out of direct sunlight when not in use to prevent the blue and cream tones from fading over time.

Troubleshooting

Surface dust or lint accumulation

Use a lint roller or a soft garment brush to gently lift fibers without crushing the velvet.

Stubborn spots on the velvet

Seek a professional shoe cleaner experienced with delicate fabrics; avoid household detergents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Mexico 66 trainers last, follow these care steps:

  1. Initial Protection: Use a fabric-specific water and stain repellent spray immediately after unboxing to create a barrier against the elements.
  2. Cleaning: Do not submerge in water. Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust. For minor spots, a slightly damp cloth may be used, but avoid vigorous rubbing as it may damage the velvet pile.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers pair perfectly with tapered trousers, denim, or casual midi skirts due to their sleek, minimalist profile.
