FAQs

What does 'LWG-certified leather' mean?

LWG stands for Leather Working Group. Certification from the LWG indicates that the leather was produced in tanneries that have been audited and found to follow environmentally responsible practices, focusing on areas like water usage, energy consumption, and waste management.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the Axel Arigato Clean 90 sneakers feature a removable cushioned footbed. This allows for easy cleaning, airing out, or replacement with custom orthotics for personalized comfort.

How should I clean my Clean 90 sneakers?

For routine cleaning, wipe the leather uppers with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner, following the product's instructions. Always allow the sneakers to air dry completely away from direct heat.

Can I wear these sneakers in the rain?

While the leather is durable, these sneakers are not specifically designed to be waterproof. It is advisable to avoid heavy rain and standing water to protect the leather and maintain their appearance. A leather protector spray can offer some resistance to light moisture.

What is the purpose of the included dustbag?

The branded dustbag serves to protect your sneakers from dust and scratches when they are not being worn. It's recommended to store them in the dustbag in a cool, dry place to help preserve their condition and prolong their life.

Are Axel Arigato Clean 90 sneakers true to size?

Axel Arigato sneakers generally run true to size. However, foot shapes can vary, so if you are unsure, it's often recommended to consult the brand's specific size guide or try them on if possible.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dull or dry.

Clean the surface thoroughly with a soft, damp cloth, then apply a high-quality leather conditioner. Gently buff with a clean cloth to restore shine and suppleness.

Squeaking sound while walking.

Often caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Remove the insole, sprinkle a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, then reinsert the insole. This can reduce friction.

Laces get dirty or frayed.

Remove the cotton laces and hand wash them gently with mild soap and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely. If severely frayed, consider replacing them with new Axel Arigato cotton laces.

Setup & Compatibility- Initial Setup: Simply lace up your sneakers to your preferred tightness. The flat cotton laces allow for a secure and comfortable fit. The removable footbed can be adjusted or replaced if you use custom orthotics.- Compatibility: The Clean 90's minimalist black leather design makes it incredibly versatile. It's compatible with a wide array of outfits, from smart casual (e.g., chinos, button-down shirts) to more relaxed everyday wear (e.g., jeans, t-shirts). They are suitable for various occasions, including urban exploration, social gatherings, and even some business-casual environments where a clean sneaker is appropriate.## Care InstructionsTo ensure your Axel Arigato Clean 90 sneakers maintain their premium look and extend their lifespan, follow these care guidelines:- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather uppers regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner specifically designed for high-quality leather.- Conditioning: Periodically apply a good quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent it from drying out or cracking. This is especially important for black leather to maintain its rich color.- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, particularly if you anticipate light exposure to moisture. This is not a substitute for waterproofing but can offer a layer of defense.- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, abrasive cleaners, or household chemicals, as these can damage the leather finish.- Drying: If your sneakers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause the leather to crack or shrink.- Storage: When not in use, store your sneakers in the provided branded dustbag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This protects them from dust, scratches, and potential discoloration.
