FAQs
Are these suitable for serious running?
These trainers are best suited for walking, casual wear, and light athletic activities. For serious or high-impact running, specialized running shoes with advanced cushioning and support are recommended.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shoe should feel snug but not tight, with enough room in the toe box for your toes to wiggle slightly. There should be no excessive heel slippage when walking.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers as it can damage the materials, shape, and adhesive. Hand cleaning as described in the care section is the preferred method.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of durable rubber, designed to provide excellent traction and longevity.
How do I clean the blue accents?
Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe the blue accents. For more stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Do these trainers offer arch support?
The Mexico Mid Runner offers a moderate level of support typical of its retro design. For individuals requiring significant arch support, insoles or orthotics may be considered.
What year were these originally released?
The Mexico Mid Runner design is inspired by the classic Mexico 66 series, which was first released in 1966.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Thinner socks might also help. If still uncomfortable, consider if a larger size is needed.
Discoloration on the white upper
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft brush or cloth to gently scrub the affected area. Rinse with a damp cloth and air dry.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the rubber sole offers good traction, caution is advised on extremely wet or smooth surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean of mud or debris which can reduce grip.
