Buyers with narrow-to-average feet who want a light, thin-soled leather sneaker for short days have the clearest case: multiple owner reports put the Mexico 66 true to size, and one long-term owner reports sturdiness. Wide feet and all-day standing are the mismatches. Confirm the model with the seller before ordering.

Fit notes
Owner reports and Zappos reviewers put the Mexico 66 true to size, so start with your usual sneaker size. The last is narrow with a slim forefoot, and wide-footed owners are commonly advised to try sizes in store. Zappos reviewers find it slightly wider than the Serrano, with more noticeable arch support.
Buy if
You want a light, low-profile leather sneaker for short days — errands, casual outfits, style-first wear — and your feet are narrow to average. Owner reports put it true to size, and one long-term owner reports a pair bought in 2020 still holding up.
Skip if
You need all-day cushioning or a roomy forefoot. Owners treat the thin sole and minimal forefoot padding as short-day wear only, and the narrow last commonly feels tight on wide or splayed feet. Buyers who want a walking or standing shoe should look elsewhere.

Owners treat the Mexico 66 as a short-day sneaker because of the thin sole and minimal forefoot cushioning. It is not described as an all-day walking or standing shoe.
