FAQs

Are these sneakers suitable for wide feet?

The Area Lo Sneakers have a standard fit. As they tend to run large, some individuals with wider feet may find that sizing down addresses width concerns. It is recommended to check customer reviews for specific feedback on fit.

How do I clean the suede accents?

For suede parts, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. Avoid using water on suede as it can cause staining and damage.

What does LWG-certified mean?

LWG stands for Leather Working Group. LWG certification ensures that the leather used is produced in facilities that manage water, energy, and waste responsibly, promoting environmental sustainability in leather tanning.

Can I wear these sneakers in wet weather?

While the leather can offer some protection, these sneakers are not designed for heavy rain. For wet conditions, it's advisable to use a waterproofing spray and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture to protect the materials.

What is the warranty on these sneakers?

Warranty information typically varies by retailer and region. Please refer to the point of purchase or the official Axel Arigato website for specific warranty details.

Do the rubber soles offer good grip?

Yes, the custom-molded rubber soles feature angular grooves designed to enhance traction on various surfaces, providing a secure and stable feel.

What is the primary material used in these sneakers?

The primary materials are LWG-certified leather (80%) and recycled polyester (20%).

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels too large

Due to the tendency to run large, consider purchasing one size down from your usual fit or consult the brand's specific size guide. If the fit is still not ideal, explore exchange options if available.

Leather creasing or scuffing

Minor creasing is natural with leather. For scuffs, try a specialized leather cleaner or balm. Regular conditioning can help maintain the leather's suppleness and prevent excessive creasing.

Slight discoloration on light colors

If light-colored materials experience minor discoloration from contact with darker items, gently wipe the affected area with a slightly damp cloth. Ensure shoes are completely dry before storing.
