Wipe the leather gently with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner, and always test on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry.
What is the best way to break in these trainers?
Wear them for short durations initially, gradually increasing the time. Wearing thicker socks can also help stretch the leather for a more comfortable fit over time.

How should I store my Mexico 66 trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape. Keeping them in a dust bag or their original box is also recommended.
Can I machine wash these trainers?

What does the 'Mexico 66' name refer to?
The name refers to the year the design was originally introduced, which was 1966, for the pre-Olympic trials held in Mexico.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Using thicker socks during the break-in period can also help stretch the leather.
Leather shows water spots or stains.
Address stains promptly with a suitable leather cleaner. For water spots, try gently wiping with a slightly damp cloth. Apply a leather conditioner after cleaning to restore moisture.
Laces are fraying or worn out.
Replace laces with a similar type and length. Many retailers offer replacement laces suitable for trainers.
Soles appear to be detaching slightly.
For minor separation, a strong adhesive specifically designed for shoe repair can be used. For significant detachment, consult a professional cobbler.
