Troubleshooting

Nubuck material appears dull or dirty

Use a specialized nubuck brush to gently restore the nap. For stubborn marks, use a nubuck eraser or a slightly damp cloth, followed by brushing.

Laces fraying or wearing out

Replace laces with a similar style. Axel Arigato may offer replacement laces, or standard trainer laces can be used.

Shoe shape is losing form

Utilize shoe trees when not wearing the sneakers to help maintain their original shape.

Discoloration from water exposure

Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, attempt to restore the nubuck's texture with a brush. Pre-treatment with a protector spray can prevent this.
