FAQs
Are these sneakers true to size?
The Mexico 66 generally fits true to UK sizing; however, since it is a narrow-profile shoe, those with wider feet may prefer to size up by half a size.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather upper and the adhesives used in construction. Always clean them by hand.
Are the Mexico 66 suitable for rainy weather?
While the leather offers some resistance to light moisture, they are not waterproof and prolonged exposure to heavy rain may damage the materials.
Is this a unisex shoe?
Yes, the Mexico 66 is widely considered a unisex model, though specific size availability may vary by region and colorway.
How do I keep the white stripes looking clean?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soap solution on a soft cloth to spot-clean the white stripes, taking care not to rub the colored leather nearby.
Does this shoe come with arch support?
The shoe has a standard, relatively flat footbed. For those requiring significant arch support, it is recommended to use aftermarket orthotic insoles.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface shows signs of scuffing
Use a leather conditioner or color-matched cream to buff out light scuffs and nourish the material.
Difficulty maintaining fit during long walks
Ensure the laces are tied with proper tension; if the heel slips, consider adding a thin foam insole for a more secure fit.
Accumulation of dirt in the rubber outsole texture
Use a medium-bristled brush to clear debris from the grooves of the rubber sole to maintain traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are slip-on or lace-up trainers, no complex setup is required; ensure you verify the sizing according to UK measurements for the best fit.
Care Instructions:
- Regularly wipe down the leather upper with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt.
- Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh industrial chemicals.
- For stubborn stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied gently with a soft brush.
- Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking.
