FAQs

Do these shoes run true to size?

No, the Axel Arigato Slow Runner series is known to run large. It is generally recommended to purchase a size smaller than your usual shoe size for a proper fit.

What materials are used in the construction?

The shoes feature a mixed-material upper, typically combining leather, suede, and nubuck for a premium look and feel.

Are these suitable for athletic performance?

These shoes are designed primarily for style and everyday comfort, reinterpreting a racing silhouette for casual wear. They are not intended for rigorous athletic training or sports.

How should I clean the suede and nubuck parts?

Use a dedicated suede brush to clean dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the shoes are durable, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended, especially due to the suede and nubuck components. It's best to protect them from excessive moisture.

What kind of socks are best to wear with these?

Standard ankle socks or low-cut socks made from cotton or wool blends are ideal for comfort and to maintain the shoe's aesthetic. Thicker socks can help if the shoes are slightly too large.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too large

As the Slow Runners are designed to run large, consider ordering half a size or a full size down from your usual size. If you have already purchased and they are too large, consider using thicker socks or an insole for a snugger fit.

Suede or nubuck appears dirty

Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a suede eraser or consult a professional shoe cleaner.

Leather scuffs or marks

For minor scuffs on the leather parts, try using a leather conditioner or a specialized leather cleaner. For deeper marks, professional restoration might be necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique deconstructed design stands out from typical sneakers.
  • High-quality blend of leather, suede, and nubuck materials.
  • Comfortable for daily wear due to its low-profile and flat sole.
  • Versatile color palette complements a wide range of casual and smart-casual outfits.
  • Durable construction suitable for regular use.

Cons

  • Runs large, requiring careful sizing.
  • May require more careful cleaning due to mixed materials.
  • The low-profile design might not offer substantial arch support for some users.
  • Can be perceived as a fashion-forward item rather than a performance athletic shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. It is crucial to try them on indoors to confirm the fit, given their tendency to run large.

Compatibility: The Axel Arigato Slow Runner is a versatile footwear choice designed for adult males. It pairs well with a variety of casual and smart-casual attire, including jeans, trousers, shorts, and casual suits. They are suitable for daily wear, light walking, and social events.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Slow Runners:

  1. Leather: Clean with a damp cloth and use a neutral leather conditioner periodically.
  2. Suede and Nubuck: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt and apply a suede protector spray.
  3. Outsole: Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  4. General: Avoid exposing the shoes to prolonged wet conditions. Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag.
