FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
No, the Area Lo trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday use. They are not intended for high-impact athletic activities like running.
How do I choose the correct size?
Refer to the size guide provided by Axel Arigato. These trainers are designed for adult male sizing. Consider your usual shoe size, but check measurements if available.
What does LWG-certified mean?
LWG stands for Leather Working Group. It signifies that the leather used in these trainers has been produced in a facility that adheres to strict environmental protocols and best practices for responsible leather manufacturing.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials (leather, suede, polyester) and the construction of the trainers.
How durable are the expanded rubber soles?
The expanded rubber soles are designed for durability for everyday wear. They offer good traction and resistance to abrasion under normal walking conditions.
Will these trainers stretch over time?
Leather and suede can mold to your foot shape over time, offering increased comfort. However, significant stretching is not expected with proper care and fit.

Troubleshooting
Suede looking matted or dirty.
Use a dry suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.
Leather creasing excessively.
Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and ensure proper fit. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.
Discoloration on the sole.
Wipe the rubber soles with a damp cloth. For scuffs, a magic eraser or a mild cleaning solution may be used cautiously, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Water spots on leather or suede.
If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use appropriate care products (leather conditioner or suede brush/cleaner) to restore their appearance.
