FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for sports?
The Mexico 66 is a lifestyle shoe. While comfortable for general play, they are not designed as high-performance athletic gear.
Can the insoles be removed?
The insoles are generally designed to be part of the shoe structure, though they may be removable depending on the specific manufacturing batch.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
No, the leather is not waterproof. It is best to avoid submerging or wearing these in heavy rain.
How do I determine the right size for my child?
Refer to the UK sizing standard provided. It is recommended to measure your child's foot in centimeters and compare it against a standard size chart.
What is the best way to keep the white soles clean?
A magic eraser or a mixture of baking soda and water applied with an old toothbrush works well for cleaning the white rubber components.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing will damage the leather and the adhesives. Always clean them by hand.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface shows scuff marks
Use a specialized leather eraser or a soft cloth with a small amount of leather conditioner to buff out superficial scuffs.
Sneakers feel tight after wearing them for a long time
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly across the bridge of the foot, allowing for natural swelling that occurs during the day.
Yellow color appears dull
Clean the surface thoroughly and apply a light leather polish or restorer designed for yellow leather products.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes come ready to wear straight out of the box with no specific break-in period required due to the supple leather material. To ensure the longevity of your Mexico 66 sneakers:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust regularly. For tougher stains, use a mild leather-safe cleaner applied with a damp (not soaking) cloth.
- Drying: Never place leather shoes in direct heat or direct sunlight to dry, as this can cause the leather to crack or fade.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct humidity to prevent leather deterioration.
- Weather: While the leather offers moderate protection, avoid wearing these during heavy rain or in muddy conditions to preserve the vibrant yellow finish.
