FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The Axel Arigato Clay Trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday use, not for athletic performance activities like running. Their sole provides grip for walking but lacks the specialized cushioning and support needed for running.

How do I clean the mixed materials?

Clean leather with a damp cloth and conditioner. Use a suede brush and protector for suede. Spot clean textile with mild soap and water. Always allow to air dry.

Do the trainers fit true to size?

Yes, the Axel Arigato Clay Trainers are designed to fit true to size according to standard UK sizing.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the materials can be treated for some water resistance, it is not recommended to wear these trainers in heavy rain. Prolonged exposure to water can damage the leather and suede.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is made of rubber and features a grippy design inspired by a tennis net for casual everyday wear.

What kind of outfits do these trainers complement best?

Their minimalist design makes them highly versatile. They complement casual outfits like jeans and t-shirts, as well as smart-casual ensembles such as chinos and blazers.

Troubleshooting

Suede becoming matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialist suede cleaner.

Leather creasing excessively

Ensure proper fit. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape. Condition leather regularly.

Reduced grip on the sole

Clean the sole with a damp cloth to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be affecting traction.

Color transfer from suede

Ensure suede is properly treated with a protector spray. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored clothing, especially when new or wet.
