FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

These trainers are designed for casual wear and style. While they offer good traction for walking, they are not recommended for rigorous sports or athletic activities due to the velvet material and cushioning.

How do I maintain the velvet finish?

Gently brush the velvet with a soft brush to keep the nap looking fresh. For stains, use a damp cloth with a mild soap, spot-cleaning carefully. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.

Can I wear these in the rain?

It is not advisable to wear these trainers in the rain or wet conditions, as the velvet material can be easily stained and damaged by moisture.

What is the main advantage of the velvet material?

The velvet material offers a luxurious feel and a sophisticated aesthetic, setting these trainers apart from more traditional canvas or leather models.

How does the cushioning feel?

The cushioned insole is designed to provide comfort for everyday wear, offering a soft and supportive feel underfoot.

Are there other color options available?

This specific model is the 'Velvet Pine' green with cream accents. The Mexico 66 series is available in various other materials and colorways.

What is the typical lifespan of these trainers?

With proper care and moderate use, these trainers can last for a considerable time. However, the lifespan may be shorter than trainers made from more durable materials if exposed to harsh conditions.

Troubleshooting

Velvet appears matted or discolored

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently brush the nap of the velvet in its natural direction to restore its texture. For discoloration, attempt spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap, but avoid excessive rubbing.

Shoe feels too tight

Velvet can stretch slightly with wear. Wear them with thin socks initially. If still too tight, consider using shoe stretchers designed for delicate materials, following their specific instructions.

Traction feels reduced

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. For persistent issues, check the wear pattern of the sole; significant wear may indicate it's time for replacement.
