How should I store my Mexico 66 trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag. Stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
Is the sizing true to fit?

Troubleshooting
Suede looking matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner.
Leather creasing excessively
This is natural with leather. Ensure proper fit to minimize extreme creasing. Stuff shoes with paper when storing to help maintain shape.
Sole feels slippery on wet surfaces
The rubber tread offers grip, but caution is advised on very wet or slick surfaces. Ensure the tread is clean of debris.
Discoloration on contrast stripes
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean gently with a damp cloth if needed.
