Product Information
Full details
The Emporio Armani trainers in black are designed for the modern adult male who values a blend of high-fashion aesthetics and everyday functional comfort. These shoes feature a distinctive asymmetric design and an oversized, knurled sole that provides a bold look, making them an ideal choice for elevating casual urban wear or sports chic ensembles. While they offer excellent flexibility and a lightweight feel, users should note that the bold, voluminous sole may require a slight adjustment period for those accustomed to traditional, low-profile athletic footwear.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they feature lightweight materials, these are designed as lifestyle fashion trainers and are not recommended for high-intensity sports or long-distance running.
How do I choose the right size?
This model is listed in UK 6 sizing. It is recommended to choose your standard footwear size, noting that the leather will provide a slight amount of natural give over time.
How do I protect the leather?
Applying a water-repellent leather spray specifically formulated for sneakers can help protect the finish from moisture and light stains.
What is the material of the sole?
The sole is constructed from a combination of a knurled TPU outer for durability and an EVA midsole for lightweight cushioning.
Can I put these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the structure of the shoe. Always hand-clean using approved methods.
Troubleshooting
Leather showing creases
Use shoe trees when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and minimize deep-set creasing.
Debris stuck in the knurled sole
Use a soft-bristled brush or a toothpick to gently dislodge gravel or dirt from the textured TPU grooves.
Laces becoming loose
Double-knot the laces or ensure they are pulled evenly through the eyelets for a more secure, lasting fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers maintain their look, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Use a specialized leather cleaner for tougher stains, avoiding harsh chemicals.
- Sole Maintenance: The knurled TPU sole can be cleaned using a soft-bristled brush and mild soapy water to remove debris trapped in the ridges.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather drying or discoloration. Use shoe trees to maintain the structural shape.
- Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard UK size 6 fit; for best results, wear with moisture-wicking socks to ensure comfort throughout the day.
