FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

No, these trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for athletic performance activities like running, which require specialized footwear.

How do I determine my correct size?

The Axel Arigato Dice T-Toe Trainers are noted to have a true-to-size fit. We recommend ordering your usual shoe size. Please refer to sizing charts if available for precise measurements.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather and rubber offer some protection, it is not recommended to wear these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions, especially due to the suede accents which can be easily stained.

What is the primary material used for the upper?

The primary material for the upper is leather, complemented by suede accents for a textured, retro look.

How often should I clean my leather trainers?

It's advisable to wipe your trainers with a damp cloth after each wear to remove surface dirt. A more thorough cleaning with a leather cleaner should be performed as needed, typically every few weeks depending on usage and environmental conditions.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

This specific guide is for the black colorway. Axel Arigato offers various models and colorways in their trainer collections; please check product listings for available options.

What is the benefit of the paneled upper design?

The paneled upper design enhances the shoe's aesthetic by adding texture and visual interest, contributing to its retro and handcrafted appearance.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing or wrinkling

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and use shoe trees when not in use. Avoid over-tightening laces.

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner.

Rubber sole showing wear

Clean the sole regularly. While some wear is expected, significant degradation might indicate heavy use or improper care. Ensure no sharp objects are embedded in the tread.

Discoloration on leather

Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. For persistent discoloration, a suitable leather conditioner or cleaner may be needed, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

  • Suede Accents: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and maintain the texture. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Protect suede areas from rain and moisture.
  • Rubber Outsole: Clean the sole with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Stubborn dirt can be removed with mild soap and water, then wiped dry.
  • Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them with mild detergent if needed, then air dry completely before re-lacing.
