FAQs
What is the primary material of the AXEL ARIGATO Clay Trainers?
The upper is primarily made of 82% leather and 18% polyester. The lining and sole components also include polyester, leather, synthetic materials, rubber, and EVA.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?
While they offer comfort and support for everyday activities, they are designed more for style and casual wear rather than high-performance athletic activities.
How do I clean the grey leather and suede parts?
Wipe leather with a dry cloth, and use a damp cloth for dirt. For suede, use a suede brush. Always allow them to air dry completely and avoid harsh chemicals.
What does the EVA midsole do?
The EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) midsole provides lightweight cushioning and shock absorption, enhancing overall comfort during wear.
Can I wear these trainers in rainy weather?
While the leather can be treated for water resistance, they are not waterproof. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Ensure they are properly dried if they get wet.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
What other colors are available for the Clay Trainers?
The Clay Trainer series is available in various colors, including White and Beige, with different material compositions like leather and suede.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. If the issue persists, consider wearing thicker socks or breaking them in gradually over shorter periods.
Leather creasing excessively
Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and ensure proper storage to maintain shape. Use shoe trees when not in use.
Sole becoming detached
Minor separations may sometimes occur. If the sole becomes significantly detached, professional repair might be necessary. Contact customer support for advice.
Discoloration from water exposure
Allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Use a leather protector spray before exposure to wet conditions to enhance water resistance.
