FAQs

How often should I clean my Clean 90 sneakers?

For general maintenance, wipe them down after each wear to remove dust. For deeper cleaning and conditioning, aim for every 1-2 months, depending on how frequently you wear them and the conditions they are exposed to.

Are these sneakers waterproof?

While the premium leather offers some natural resistance to light moisture, they are not fully waterproof. It's recommended to apply a protective spray designed for leather to enhance water resistance and avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.

Can I remove the insole?

Yes, the Axel Arigato Clean 90 sneakers feature a removable cushioned footbed, allowing for custom orthotics or easier cleaning.

Where are Axel Arigato Clean 90 sneakers made?

Each pair of Clean 90 sneakers is meticulously handcrafted in Portugal, reflecting a commitment to quality European craftsmanship.

How should I store my sneakers when not in use?

Store them in the provided branded dustbag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and absorb excess moisture.

What does "LWG-certified leather" mean?

LWG (Leather Working Group) certification indicates that the leather used in these sneakers comes from tanneries that have been audited for their environmental performance, promoting sustainable and responsible practices in leather production.

Are these sneakers suitable for wide feet?

Info needed: [General advice on fit for Axel Arigato Clean 90 series.] The Clean 90 typically has a standard fit. While premium leather will stretch slightly over time, individuals with particularly wide feet might find them snug initially. It is always best to try them on if possible.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or is starting to show minor cracks.

This often indicates a lack of moisture. Clean the leather thoroughly and then apply a high-quality leather conditioner or moisturizer. Repeat every few weeks until the leather's suppleness is restored.

Scuffs or minor scratches appear on the leather surface.

For light scuffs, use a soft cloth to gently buff the affected area. For deeper scratches, a specialized leather balm or polish in a matching color may be needed. Always test any new product on an inconspicuous area first.

Unpleasant odor develops inside the sneaker.

Remove the cushioned footbed and allow both the sneakers and footbed to air out in a well-ventilated area. Use an odor-absorbing product (e.g., cedar shoe trees, baking soda sachets) or an antimicrobial spray designed for footwear. Ensure you wear socks to help absorb moisture during use.

Leather Care

To maintain the premium look and longevity of your Axel Arigato Clean 90 sneakers, follow these care instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe off surface dirt with a soft, slightly damp cloth after each wear. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner specifically designed for smooth leather. Apply sparingly and follow the product's instructions.
  2. Conditioning: To prevent the leather from drying out and cracking, condition it periodically (every 1-2 months, depending on wear) with a quality leather conditioner. This helps keep the leather supple.
  3. Protection: Before first wear, and as needed thereafter, apply a water and stain protector spray suitable for leather. This is especially important if you anticipate wearing them in damp conditions.
  4. Storage: When not in use, store the sneakers in the provided branded dustbag to protect them from dust and scratches. Avoid direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and absorb moisture.

Sole Care

  • Clean the partly recycled rubber soles with a soft brush and mild soap solution to remove dirt and grime. Rinse with a damp cloth and air dry.

Laces

  • Clean the flat cotton laces separately by hand washing them with mild soap and water, then air dry. Replace them if they become heavily soiled or worn.
