FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Axiom trainers are constructed with water-resistant materials like waxy leather, but they are not fully waterproof. They offer protection against light moisture but are not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion.
What is the primary benefit of the recycled materials used?
The use of 100% post-industrial recycled lining and sock lining contributes to breathability, moisture management, and reduces environmental impact, aligning with sustainable practices.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The Axiom trainers are available in standard men's UK sizing. Ensure you select your usual size. Consider trying them on with the type of socks you typically wear.
Can I wear these for light hiking?
While the rubber outsole offers good traction, the Axiom trainers are primarily designed for urban terrain. For more rugged trails or demanding outdoor activities, dedicated hiking boots would be more appropriate.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if the shoes are regularly exposed to harsh conditions or appear dry.
What type of socks are recommended?
To maximize comfort and breathability, especially with the recycled sock lining, it's recommended to wear breathable socks made from natural fibers like cotton or wool, or moisture-wicking synthetic blends.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels stiff on first wear
This is common with leather footwear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot. The molded PU foam footbed will also soften with use.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
The T1557 rubber outsole provides good traction, but performance on very wet or slippery surfaces can be diminished for any shoe. Ensure the outsole is free of debris. For enhanced grip in adverse conditions, consider alternative footwear.
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a suitable leather conditioner designed for distressed or waxy leathers. Regular conditioning helps maintain the leather's natural oils and flexibility.
Discoloration on the leather
Waxy distressed leather can develop a patina over time. If discoloration is due to dirt, try gentle cleaning with a damp cloth. For significant or unwanted color changes, consult a professional shoe care specialist.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.
Compatibility: Suitable for casual wear with a variety of outfits. Designed for adult men.
Care:
- Cleaning: For the waxy distressed leather and PU-coated suede, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For stubborn marks, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly, following product instructions. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Conditioning: Periodically use a leather conditioner suitable for waxy finishes to maintain the material's suppleness and prevent drying.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, which can damage the leather.
- Socks: For optimal comfort and to utilize the recycled sock lining's benefits, wear with breathable socks.
