FAQs
What material is used for the Axel Arigato Clay Trainers?
The trainers feature an upper made of 100% Calf Leather (Bos Taurus) and a sole made of 100% Rubber.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft brush. Always allow the leather to air dry naturally.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities?
These trainers are designed for style and casual wear. They are not optimized for high-impact athletic activities but offer comfort for everyday walking.
What is the significance of the tennis net graphic on the sole?
The raised tennis net graphic is a distinctive design element that pays homage to the shoe's inspiration from classic 1980s tennis shoes.
How do I ensure I get the correct size?
Refer to the product's size guide, which typically includes conversions for different international sizing systems (e.g., UK, EU, US). Measure your foot length for the most accurate fit.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, the leather upper is not inherently waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to consider applying a waterproofing spray for added protection.
What is the primary style this trainer is designed to complement?
The trainers are designed for a polished casual style and are versatile enough to complement both smart-casual outfits and more relaxed ensembles.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing excessively
Ensure proper fit. Use shoe trees to help maintain shape when not in use. Avoid over-tightening laces.
Scuffs or marks on leather
Gently buff out minor scuffs with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a matching color leather cream or polish and a dabber brush.
Squeaking sound from shoes
This can sometimes occur due to friction. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, particularly around the insole.
Discoloration from water exposure
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, use a leather conditioner to restore moisture and color. Consider using a waterproofing spray for future protection.
