Axel Arigato Marathon Runner - Multicolor - UK 3

No, the Axel Arigato Marathon Runner sneakers are designed for urban lifestyle and fashion purposes, not for performance running or intense athletic activities. Their construction and exaggerated sole prioritize style over athletic functionality.

Axel Arigato typically runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider referring to the brand's official size guide for precise measurements or trying them on.

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, mesh, and structural integrity of the sneakers. Please follow the specific care instructions provided for spot cleaning and hand washing.

These sneakers are crafted from a combination of high-quality leather and breathable mesh, along with rubber for the sole and webbing tape with reflective properties.

The digitally printed graphics are durable, but to best protect them, avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners directly on these areas. A gentle wipe with a damp cloth is usually sufficient. A protective spray can also help.

While the sole is visually prominent, it is designed to be lightweight enough for comfortable daily urban wear. Its construction focuses on achieving a bold aesthetic without compromising excessive comfort.

Leather and new soles can take some time to break in. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot.

For light marks, use a sneaker cleaning solution and a soft brush or specialized sneaker wipes. Regular, gentle cleaning after wear helps prevent deep stains. Consider a protective spray.

Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear. To minimize it, use shoe trees when storing and consider a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple. Avoid excessive bending.

Ensure reflective areas are kept clean. Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing, which can damage the reflective coating.
