Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your Clean 90 trainers is straightforward. Simply lace them up to your preferred comfort level. The premium Italian leather and calf leather lining will mold to your foot over time, providing a custom fit. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to adapt.
Compatibility
These trainers are incredibly versatile and integrate seamlessly into many wardrobes:
- Smart-Casual: Combine with chinos, tailored trousers, or dark wash denim and a button-down shirt or lightweight knit.
- Everyday Casual: Perfect with jeans, shorts, and a t-shirt or hoodie for an elevated casual look.
- Business Casual: Can be paired with contemporary suits or separates for a modern office environment.
Care
To ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your Axel Arigato Clean 90 trainers, follow these care instructions:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove dust and dirt.
- Deep Cleaning: For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few weeks or months, depending on wear, to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This also helps restore its natural luster.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools.
