Refer to the size chart provided by Axel Arigato or the retailer. Generally, UK sizing is standard, but for specific fit recommendations, consult the product's size guide. This model is listed as UK 8.
No, machine washing is not recommended for these sneakers. The materials, especially leather and suede, can be damaged by the washing machine's agitation and water. Hand cleaning as per the care instructions is advised.
LWG (Leather Working Group) certification indicates that the tannery producing the leather meets high environmental standards. It ensures responsible water use, energy consumption, and chemical management in the tanning process.
The custom-molded expanded rubber soles are designed for durability and traction, suitable for everyday wear. Their longevity will depend on usage patterns and care.
The Axel Arigato Area Lo series is available in various colorways and material combinations. This specific guide focuses on the white leather and suede variant, UK 8.
Squeaking can sometimes occur with new leather or rubber. Try wearing them for a few more days to break them in. If the squeaking persists, check if the insole is properly seated or if there's moisture trapped within the sole.
Ensure you are tying a secure knot. Double-knotting may provide extra security. If the laces are worn or stretched, consider replacing them with new, high-quality laces.
Protect suede with a suitable waterproofing spray before wear, especially in damp conditions. If a stain occurs, attempt to gently brush it away with a suede brush or use a suede eraser. For persistent stains, professional cleaning might be necessary.
Ensure the rubber soles are clean from dirt and debris, as this can affect traction. If the tread appears significantly worn down, it may be time to consider replacement, although this is typically a long-term wear issue.
Setup:
These sneakers require no specific setup beyond initial lacing to your preferred tightness. Ensure the laces are securely tied before each wear to maintain a proper fit.
Compatibility:
The Area Lo sneakers are designed as a versatile footwear option compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire. They pair well with jeans, chinos, shorts, and even casual dresses or skirts. Their neutral color palette generally complements most wardrobes.
