FAQs
What is the primary material of the Axel Arigato Clay Trainers?
The upper is primarily made of 82% leather and 18% polyester. The sole is constructed from 77% rubber and 23% EVA with a TPU heel clip.
Are these trainers suitable for sports activities?
These trainers are designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not for high-impact sports. The EVA midsole provides comfort for walking but is not optimized for athletic performance.
How should I clean the grey leather trainers?
Clean the leather parts with a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. Use a damp cloth for general wiping and allow them to air dry away from direct heat. For suede elements, use a suede brush.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, the leather and fabric upper is not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to treat them with a protective spray suitable for leather and suede.
What does the EVA midsole do?
The EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) midsole provides cushioning and shock absorption, contributing to the overall comfort of the trainers for everyday wear.
How do I adjust the fit of the trainers?
The trainers feature a traditional lace-up fastening system that allows you to adjust the tightness and ensure a secure, personalized fit.
What occasions are these trainers best suited for?
They are ideal for everyday wear, smart-casual events, and adding a refined touch to relaxed outfits. Their minimalist design makes them versatile.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel stiff on first wear.
This is common with new leather footwear. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. The EVA midsole will also soften with use.
Discoloration on leather.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Use a leather conditioner specifically designed for the color of your trainers to maintain vibrancy. If discoloration is significant, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Reduced cushioning over time.
While EVA midsoles offer initial comfort, they can compress with extensive use. Ensure proper fit and consider adding insoles if more support is desired.
Perforations losing shape.
Avoid stretching or forcing objects into the perforations. Ensure the trainers are stored correctly to maintain their structure.
