FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for industrial worksites?
While durable, the Axiom Cub is a lifestyle shoe. Unless specified as safety-rated, they should not be used as a substitute for certified protective footwear.
How do I determine the correct size?
These shoes follow standard UK sizing. We recommend choosing your usual size, keeping in mind that leather may provide a slight give after the break-in period.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The leather upper provides some protection, but it is not waterproof. We recommend applying a water-repellent spray if you plan on wearing them in light rain.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the standard insoles can generally be removed if you need to insert personal orthotics.
What is the best way to style these shoes?
Their classic design works perfectly with dark-wash jeans, chinos, and casual button-down shirts, making them a staple for smart-casual wardrobes.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slightly tight upon first wear
Leather shoes often require a short 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the material to mold to your foot shape.
Scuffs on the leather surface
Use a leather cleaner or a matching shoe cream to gently buff out surface scuffs and restore the uniform finish.
Accumulated moisture inside
Remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper or a cedar shoe tree to absorb moisture and maintain shape while drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are ready to wear immediately out of the box. To ensure a long lifespan, it is important to follow basic care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the leather exterior with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris.
- Moisturizing: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to prevent the material from cracking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the color and structural integrity of the upper.
- Insoles: If you prefer custom orthotics, the interior design of the Axiom Cub generally allows for the replacement of the standard insole with your own preferred insert.
