Axel Arigato Clean 90 - Black Leather - UK 9.5

Axel Arigato Clean 90 trainers are generally considered to run true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit.

While the leather offers some natural water resistance, they are not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a water-repellent spray for added protection if you anticipate wearing them in wet conditions.

Regular light cleaning after each wear (wiping down) is recommended to remove surface dirt. A more thorough cleaning and conditioning should be done monthly or as needed, depending on frequency of use and exposure to dirt.

Yes, the Clean 90 trainers feature a removable cushioned footbed, allowing for easy cleaning or the insertion of custom orthotics for personalized comfort.

For optimal comfort and to protect the leather lining, we recommend wearing quality socks. Thin, breathable cotton or merino wool socks are generally ideal.

Axel Arigato trainers, including the Clean 90 series, are handcrafted in Portugal, known for its high-quality footwear production.

LWG (Leather Working Group) certification indicates that the leather was produced in an environmentally responsible way, adhering to strict standards regarding water usage, energy consumption, and waste management in the tanning process.

Apply a good quality leather conditioner or cream, following product instructions, to moisturize and restore its luster. Regular conditioning prevents cracking.

This is often caused by friction between the removable footbed and the inside of the shoe. Try removing the footbed, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then reinserting the footbed.

Use a melamine foam eraser (often called a 'magic eraser') dampened with water, or a dedicated sole cleaning solution with a stiff brush, for stubborn marks and scuffs.

Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather with wear, but it can be minimized. Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain their shape, and condition the leather regularly to keep it supple. Avoid overtightening laces excessively.
