FAQs

How often should I clean my Clean 90 sneakers?

For optimal appearance, wipe them down after each wear to remove surface dust. A more thorough cleaning with leather cleaner and conditioner is recommended every few weeks, depending on usage.

Are these sneakers suitable for all weather conditions?

While made from durable leather, they are not waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or snow. For added protection, consider applying a leather protector spray.

What does LWG-certified leather mean?

LWG (Leather Working Group) certification indicates that the leather used is sourced from tanneries that have been audited for their environmental performance, promoting sustainable and responsible leather production practices.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the Clean 90 sneakers feature a removable insole, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics or different comfort insoles if desired.

How do I prevent creasing in the leather?

To minimize creasing, always store your sneakers with shoe trees when not in use. Regular conditioning of the leather also helps maintain its suppleness and reduces the appearance of creases.

Are these sneakers true to size?

Axel Arigato Clean 90 sneakers generally run true to size. If you are between sizes, it's often recommended to opt for the larger size or consult a specific size guide if available.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dull or dry

Clean the leather thoroughly with a damp cloth, then apply a small amount of quality leather conditioner or cream. Buff gently with a soft, dry cloth to restore shine and moisture.

Minor scuffs or marks on the leather

For light scuffs, gently rub the area with a soft, slightly damp cloth or a specialized leather eraser. For deeper marks, a small amount of matching leather cream or polish may help to blend it in.

Sneakers feel tight or uncomfortable initially

Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house to allow the leather to conform to your foot shape. The removable insole also allows for adjustment or replacement.

Soles appear dirty or discolored

Clean the rubber soles using a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a mild soap solution. For stubborn marks, a sneaker cleaner or a magic eraser can be effective. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.

Care

Proper care is essential to maintain the premium look and extend the life of your leather sneakers.

  1. Cleaning: Regularly wipe down the leather uppers with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied according to the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  2. Protection: Consider applying a high-quality leather protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter. This helps repel water and stains.
  3. Lace Care: The cotton laces can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water if they become dirty. Allow them to air dry completely.
  4. Drying: If your sneakers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  5. Storage: When not in use, store your sneakers in the branded dustbag provided, in a cool, dry place away from direct light. Using shoe trees can help preserve their original shape and prevent creasing.
