FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for athletic performance?
The Axel Arigato Clay Sneakers are designed primarily for fashion and casual wear, inspired by tennis silhouettes. They are not intended for rigorous athletic activities and may not provide the specialized support or cushioning required for sports.
How do I best care for the mixed materials (leather, suede, textile)?
It is best to clean each material separately using appropriate methods. Use a damp cloth for leather, a suede brush for suede, and spot clean textile with mild soap. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Do these sneakers come in other colors besides Beige/Off-White?
This guide specifically covers the Beige/Off-White colorway. Please refer to the product listing for availability of other colors.
What does 'true to size' mean for this product?
'True to size' indicates that the sneakers are expected to fit according to standard sizing conventions. If you typically wear a UK 9.5, you should order a UK 9.5. However, due to variations in foot shape, precise measurement is recommended for the best fit.
Can I wear these sneakers in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these sneakers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions is not recommended and can damage the materials. Consider using a water-repellent spray specifically designed for leather and suede.
How durable is the embossed tennis net sole?
The rubber sole is designed for everyday wear and should be durable. The embossed detail is integrated into the sole's structure. Regular cleaning will help maintain its appearance and integrity.
What is the return policy if the size doesn't fit?
Return policies vary by retailer. Please consult the specific retailer's website or customer service for information on their return and exchange procedures for incorrect sizing.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels too tight or loose
These sneakers are designed to fit true to size. If they feel slightly tight, wear them with thin socks for a short period, as leather can stretch slightly. If they are significantly too loose, consider using an insole or ensuring the laces are tightened appropriately. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, exchange for the correct size.
Discoloration on leather or suede
For light discoloration, try cleaning with a damp cloth (leather) or a suede brush (suede). For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather or suede cleaner suitable for the material. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
While the rubber sole offers grip, some smooth surfaces may be inherently slippery. Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris. If slippage persists, consider consulting a cobbler about adding grip enhancers.
Creasing on leather upper
Creasing is natural with leather footwear, especially after wear. To minimize its appearance, ensure proper storage and consider using shoe trees when not in use. Avoid over-tightening laces, which can exacerbate creasing in specific areas.
