FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
The Axiom trainers are crafted from leather and suede, offering some resistance to water, but they are not fully waterproof. They are designed for general urban use and may not perform well in heavy rain or wet conditions.
How do I clean the distressed leather?
Clean with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Use a specialized leather conditioner for distressed finishes to maintain its look and prevent drying.
What does 'post-industrial recycled lining' mean?
This refers to materials that are reclaimed from manufacturing processes before they become consumer products, reducing waste and environmental impact.
Can I wear these for running or sports?
The Axiom trainers are designed for comfort and durability in casual settings. They are not specifically engineered for high-impact sports or running, which require specialized athletic footwear.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
Refer to Caterpillar's sizing chart and measure your foot. Given these are UK size 12, ensure this corresponds to your standard shoe size. Trying them on is the best way to confirm fit.
What is the expected lifespan of the outsole?
The T1557 rubber outsole is designed for durability in urban environments. With regular wear and proper care, it should provide reliable traction for a considerable period, though lifespan depends heavily on usage patterns and terrain.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe. Ensure the insoles are properly seated. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help reduce friction.
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a suitable leather conditioner specifically designed for distressed or waxy leather. Regular conditioning helps maintain the leather's flexibility and prevent cracking.
Traction feels reduced
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dirt or debris that may be affecting grip.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size and width. If new, wear them for short periods to break them in. Consider using thicker socks or checking the fit around the ankle and heel.
