FAQs

What materials are the Genesis Neo Runners made from?

The upper is composed of 55% Suede and 45% Recycled Polyester. The lining is made of 57% Recycled Polyester, 30% Leather, and 13% Polyester Microfiber. The sole is 100% Polyethylene vinyl acetate (PEVA).

Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?

These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and style. They offer comfort for everyday activities but are not engineered for high-impact sports or serious running.

How should I clean the white suede and the rest of the shoe?

Use a suede brush for dry dirt on the suede. For stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth is recommended. Wipe other parts with a damp cloth and mild soap. Always air dry away from heat.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the PEVA sole offers some protection, suede is not water-resistant. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and staining. Using a suede protector spray can offer some water repellency.

What does the 'Vintage Runner' style signify?

The 'Vintage Runner' style refers to a design inspired by classic athletic shoes from past decades, characterized by a sleek silhouette, often with retro color combinations and material treatments.

Is this product available in other sizes or colors?

The AXEL ARIGATO Genesis Neo Runner is available in various sizes and potentially other colorways. Please check the brand's official product listings or retail partners for current availability.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush. For stubborn stains, use a suede eraser or a very slightly damp cloth, working from the outside of the stain inwards. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing.

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have the correct size. If they are slightly snug, wearing them with thicker socks for a short period may help them stretch slightly. For persistent tightness, consider if a larger size is needed.

Sole feels slippery

New soles can sometimes have a residual manufacturing film. Walking on rougher surfaces like concrete or asphalt can help 'break in' the sole. Ensure the soles are clean and dry, as moisture can reduce grip.

Lining feels uncomfortable

Ensure socks are worn to prevent direct friction. If discomfort persists, check for any internal seams or debris that might be causing irritation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear sneakers. Ensure you have the correct size (UK 12 in this case) for optimal comfort.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for casual wear and are compatible with a wide range of casual clothing styles including jeans, shorts, joggers, and casual trousers. They are not intended for rigorous athletic activities.

Care:

  1. Cleaning Suede: Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and debris. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be used cautiously. Avoid soaking the suede.
  2. Cleaning Other Materials: Wipe the recycled polyester, leather, and microfiber lining with a slightly damp cloth. For the PEVA sole, a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush or cloth can be used.
  3. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the materials.
  4. Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to help guard against water and stains, especially for the white color.
