FAQs
What material are the Axel Arigato Clay Sneakers made of?
The sneakers feature an upper made from 100% Calf Leather Bos Taurus and a sole made from 100% Rubber.
Are these sneakers suitable for athletic performance?
While inspired by tennis shoes, they are designed for style and comfort in everyday wear, not for rigorous athletic training.

Wipe the leather with a damp cloth and use a specialized leather cleaner for tougher marks. Condition the leather periodically and protect with a suitable spray.

Troubleshooting
Leather scuffing or minor scratches
For light scuffs, try buffing gently with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, use a leather repair balm or cream matching the shoe's color.
Discoloration from water spots
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, gently clean and recondition the leather. A waterproofing spray can help prevent future water spots.
Soles showing wear
Minor wear on the rubber sole can sometimes be cleaned to look fresher. For significant wear, consider consulting a cobbler for sole repair or replacement options if feasible.
Creasing in leather
Creasing is natural with leather footwear. Using shoe trees when not in use can help minimize severe creasing. Conditioning also helps maintain leather flexibility.

- Protection: Consider using a waterproof or stain-repellent spray designed for leather, especially in wet conditions.
