FAQs

What is the primary material of the Mexico 66 Vintage 'Birch Black'?

The upper is primarily constructed from leather.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?

While inspired by athletic heritage, these are best suited for casual wear and everyday comfort, not high-performance sports.

How should I clean the 'Birch Black' colorway?

Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Do these shoes come in other colors?

The Mexico 66 series is available in various colorways, including other combinations of 'Birch' and 'Red'. This specific model is the 'Birch Black' version.

What does 'Vintage' refer to in the product name?

'Vintage' indicates that this model is a retro-inspired reproduction of the original 1966 design, featuring authentic styling cues.

Can these trainers be worn by both men and women?

Yes, the Mexico 66 Vintage is designed as an adult unisex model and is suitable for all genders.

What is the main advantage of the Mexico 66 Vintage design?

The main advantage is its iconic, timeless style combined with comfortable construction for daily wear.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear the shoes with thin socks initially. If they remain tight, consider using a shoe stretcher or breaking them in gradually over several wears.

Leather creasing

Creasing is natural for leather. To minimize it, use shoe trees when not in wear and avoid over-tightening laces.

Color transfer from stripes

This can occasionally happen with new shoes. Wear with dark socks initially and avoid prolonged contact with light-colored fabrics, especially when wet. Cleaning with a leather protector may help.

Soles feel stiff

The rubber soles are designed for durability. They will become more flexible with regular wear. Gentle flexing by hand can also help loosen them initially.
