The Mexico 66 are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers for casual wear. While they offer comfort for walking, they are not engineered for high-impact running or athletic performance.
How do I clean the cream leather upper?
Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For stains, use a specialized leather cleaner and follow up with a leather conditioner. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Try wearing thinner socks or consider using a shoe stretcher. If the fit is consistently uncomfortable, check if a half-size larger is available, as sizing can vary slightly.
Crease marks on leather
Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize the appearance, ensure proper storage with shoe trees. Avoid bending the shoes excessively when walking.
Gum sole is dirty
Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to clean the gum rubber sole. For tougher scuffs, a mild soap solution or a magic eraser can be effective. Ensure the sole is dry before wearing.
Laces are dirty
Remove the laces and hand wash them with mild detergent and water. Air dry completely before re-lacing the shoes.
