What material are these sneakers made from?

What is the sizing like for these sneakers?
This specific model is a UK size 6 for adult males. Armani Exchange typically uses standard UK sizing. If you are unsure, it is always best to refer to a size chart or try them on.
Can I wear these sneakers in all weather conditions?
While leather is durable, it is best to avoid heavy rain or snow to preserve the material's quality and appearance. Using a leather protectant spray can offer some water resistance for light exposure.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or dry
Clean the leather thoroughly with a damp cloth and then apply a high-quality leather conditioner. Regular conditioning helps restore moisture and shine.
Shoes feel too stiff or uncomfortable initially
Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations around the house before longer outings. Thick socks can sometimes help stretch them slightly, or use a shoe stretcher.
White areas are easily stained or discolored
For light stains, use a mild soap solution with a soft brush or a specialized white shoe cleaner. For tougher marks, a leather eraser or a small amount of white vinegar on a cloth can be effective, followed by conditioning. Consider a protective spray before wear.
Squeaking sound while walking
This can often be caused by friction between parts of the shoe or the insole. Try removing the insole and applying a small amount of baby powder underneath. If the squeak persists, it might be due to the outsole; a cobbler could diagnose this.
