Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the primary material of these trainers?
The trainers feature uppers made from premium nubuck and Italian leather, with suede panel detailing.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?
While designed for comfort and traction with a synthetic rubber sole, they are primarily intended for casual wear and fashion, not high-impact sports.
How should I clean the suede sections?
Use a dedicated suede brush to clean dry dirt and maintain the texture. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized nubuck cleaner can be used cautiously.
What kind of outfits do these trainers complement?
They are best suited for casual and smart-casual outfits, such as with jeans, chinos, shorts, and relaxed-fit trousers.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
Axel Arigato offers various colorways for their Dice Lo trainers. Please check available product listings for other options.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of synthetic rubber, designed for durability and reliable traction.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the synthetic rubber sole offers some protection, the nubuck and suede materials are not inherently waterproof. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to protect them with a suitable spray.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. The trainers may require a short break-in period. Try wearing them with thinner socks initially.
Discoloration on suede or nubuck areas.
Use a suede eraser for minor marks or a specialized nubuck cleaner for tougher stains. Always test cleaning products on a small, hidden area first.
Soles becoming slippery.
Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris. Synthetic rubber soles generally offer good traction, but performance can be affected by wet surfaces.
Laces fraying or breaking.
Replace laces with a similar type and length. Axel Arigato may offer replacement laces or suggest suitable alternatives.

Care Instructions:
- General Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt from leather and nubuck areas. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Suede Care: For suede panels, use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser can be used sparingly.
- Leather Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray suitable for nubuck and suede to guard against moisture and stains. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: If the trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Do not use direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and damage.
