FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the Mexico 66 trainers?
The Mexico 66 trainers are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers, inspired by vintage athletic shoes, offering style and comfort for everyday wear.
Are these shoes suitable for running or athletic training?
While inspired by training shoes, these are best suited for casual, everyday use. They do not offer the specialized cushioning or support required for intense athletic activities.
How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the texture. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the leather, suede, and sole construction. Clean them with a damp cloth and appropriate cleaners.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from a combination of textured cow leather in vintage birch and black cow suede for the iconic tiger stripes and overlays.
How is the cushioning and support provided?
The shoes feature a thin foam midsole and a rubber outsole with grooves for basic cushioning and impact absorption. They offer a classic, less-structured feel compared to modern performance shoes.
What does 'Vintage Birch Black' refer to?
'Vintage Birch' describes the primary off-white/light brown color of the leather, while 'Black' refers to the color of the suede tiger stripes and other accents.
Troubleshooting
Stiffness in new shoes
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Genuine leather and suede may feel stiff at first but will soften with use.
Suede showing water spots
Allow the suede to dry completely, then use a suede brush to restore the nap. Apply a suede protector spray to prevent future marks.
Laces becoming dirty
Remove laces and wash them separately by hand with mild soap and water, or replace them if heavily soiled.
Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides good traction for dry and moderately wet conditions. Exercise caution on very slick or icy surfaces, as specialized footwear may be required.
