FAQs
What material are the AXEL ARIGATO Clay Trainers made of?
The trainers primarily feature an upper made of 82% leather and 18% polyester. The lining consists of 58% polyester, 34% leather, and 8% synthetic materials. The sole is composed of an inner made of 58% polyester, 34% leather, 8% synthetic, and an outer made of 77% rubber and 23% EVA, with a TPU heel clip.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?
These trainers are designed for style and everyday comfort, not for high-impact athletic activities. While they offer good cushioning from the EVA midsole, they do not provide the specialized support required for intense sports.
How should I clean my leather Clay Trainers?
For the leather components, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals. For any specialized cleaning needs, consult products designed specifically for leather footwear.
Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?
The rubber sole offers some grip, but the leather and textile materials are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and maintain comfort.
What is the main benefit of the EVA midsole?
The EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) midsole provides enhanced cushioning and shock absorption, contributing to overall comfort during extended wear.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Use the lace-up fastening to adjust the tightness across the foot. Ensure your heel is comfortably seated and there is adequate room in the toe box without being too loose.
What occasions are these trainers best suited for?
Their minimalist and refined aesthetic makes them suitable for everyday casual wear, as well as smart-casual events. They can be dressed up or down to complement various outfits.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lace-up fastening to find a secure yet comfortable fit. If the issue persists, consider if the size is correct or if thicker/thinner socks are needed.
Discoloration or scuff marks on leather.
Gently clean with a damp cloth. For minor scuffs, a leather cleaner or conditioner specifically designed for the material type may help restore the appearance. Test any product on an inconspicuous area first.
Reduced cushioning or comfort over time.
The EVA midsole may lose some of its resilience after prolonged use. Ensure the shoes are not exposed to extreme heat, which can degrade EVA. If comfort significantly decreases, it may be time to consider a replacement.
Soles feel slippery.
Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris. The rubber outsole provides traction, but performance can be reduced on very smooth or wet surfaces. Check for excessive wear on the sole pattern.
