The Axel Arigato Marathon Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and street-style fashion. Their exaggerated TR outsole provides a comfortable platform for everyday walking and standing, making them suitable for urban exploration, social gatherings, or simply elevating a casual outfit. The blend of leather and mesh, along with the protective PU transfer, offers durability for regular use while maintaining a premium look. The reflective webbing is a subtle detail that adds flair, particularly in lower light conditions, aligning with their fashion-forward aesthetic rather than safety. These trainers pair exceptionally well with contemporary streetwear, denim, or even more dressed-down smart casual looks, serving as a statement piece rather than a performance shoe.
Simply lace them up and wear them. Ensure they fit comfortably, allowing for natural foot movement without excessive tightness or slippage. The chunky sole might feel different initially, so allow a short period to adjust.
These trainers are primarily compatible with casual and contemporary fashion wardrobes. They are designed for daily wear, light urban activities, and social occasions. They are not recommended for high-impact sports, running, or intensive athletic training due to their design and material composition.
To maintain the quality and appearance of your Axel Arigato Marathon Trainers:
Cleaning the Leather: Gently wipe leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a leather-specific cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Cleaning the Mesh: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a mild soap solution to gently scrub mesh areas. Wipe clean with a damp cloth. The PU transfer protects the mesh but gentle cleaning is still advised.
Outsole Care: Wipe the thermoplastic rubber sole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
Drying: Always allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or moisture.
