FAQs

What materials are the Axel Arigato Marathon Runner sneakers made from?

These sneakers feature LWG certified leather and polyester mesh for the uppers, with a durable thermoplastic rubber (TR) outsole. The lining is made of polyester.

How do I clean my Marathon Runner sneakers?

For general cleaning, wipe the leather and sole with a soft, damp cloth. For mesh areas, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then blot dry. Always air dry away from direct heat.

Are these sneakers suitable for running or athletic activities?

While inspired by athletic shoes, the Axel Arigato Marathon Runner sneakers are designed for fashion and casual wear, not for performance running or intense athletic activities.

What does 'LWG certified leather' mean?

LWG stands for Leather Working Group. LWG certification indicates that the leather used in these sneakers comes from tanneries that have been audited for their environmental performance, promoting sustainable and responsible leather manufacturing practices.

Where are these sneakers manufactured?

The Axel Arigato Marathon Runner sneakers are proudly handmade in Portugal.

Is the sizing true to size for these sneakers?

Info needed: Sizing can vary. Generally, Axel Arigato shoes are considered true to size, but it's recommended to consult the brand's official size guide or try them on if possible for the most accurate fit.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound from soles

New thermoplastic rubber (TR) soles can sometimes squeak until they are broken in. Try walking on various surfaces to scuff the sole slightly. If the squeaking persists, a light application of talcum powder under the insole might help reduce friction.

Minor scuffs or scratches on leather

For light scuffs, gently rub the affected area with a clean, damp cloth. For deeper scratches, a specialized leather repair cream or polish in a matching color can be applied, following the product instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Mesh sections appear dirty or discolored

Prepare a dilute solution of mild soap (e.g., dish soap) and water. Use a soft-bristled brush or a clean cloth to gently scrub the mesh. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Reflective webbing seems dull or dusty

Use a soft, dry brush or a slightly damp microfiber cloth to gently wipe the reflective webbing. Avoid harsh scrubbing, which could damage the reflective coating. Ensure no cleaning solutions are left on the reflective material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup

Getting started with your Marathon Runner sneakers is straightforward:

  1. Lacing: Ensure laces are threaded through all eyelets and tied securely for a snug fit. Adjust tightness to your comfort.
  2. First Wear: Walk around in your new sneakers on a clean surface indoors to ensure they fit well and are comfortable before wearing them outdoors.

  • Athleisure: Can be worn with athletic-inspired leisurewear for a comfortable yet stylish ensemble.
  • Smart Casual: The premium materials allow them to be dressed up slightly with chinos or tailored trousers for a contemporary smart-casual aesthetic.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Axel Arigato Marathon Runner sneakers:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather and TR sole regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Spot Cleaning Mesh: For mesh areas, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to gently scrub soiled spots. Blot dry with a clean cloth.
  3. Leather Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to the leather sections to keep them supple and prevent cracking. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Drying: If sneakers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage materials.
  5. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  6. Avoid Submersion: Do not machine wash or submerge the sneakers in water, as this can damage the leather, adhesives, and internal structure.
