FAQs
How often should I clean my leather sneakers?
For light dust, wipe them down after every few wears. For deeper cleaning with leather conditioner, aim for once a month or as needed, depending on usage and exposure to dirt.
Can I wear these sneakers in the rain?
While the leather offers some resistance to light moisture, these are not waterproof. Heavy rain should be avoided. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally and apply leather conditioner afterwards.
Are these sneakers true to size?
Armani Exchange generally runs true to size. For the best fit, we recommend referring to a size guide if available, or trying them on. These are UK size 12.
What kind of socks should I wear with these sneakers?
For optimal comfort and hygiene, it's recommended to wear socks. Thin cotton or blended socks work well to absorb moisture and reduce friction. 'No-show' socks can maintain a minimalist look.
How can I prevent creases in the leather?
To minimize creasing, use shoe trees when storing them. Avoid wearing them too tightly or walking in ways that excessively bend the leather. Regular conditioning also helps maintain leather's suppleness.
What is the material of the inner lining?
The sneakers feature a comfortable fabric inner lining, designed to enhance breathability and comfort during wear.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or scuffed
Gently clean with a damp cloth, then apply a suitable leather conditioner or polish designed for black leather to restore shine and cover minor scuffs.
Squeaking sound when walking
Remove the insole (if removable) and sprinkle a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, particularly under the insole. This can reduce friction causing the squeak.
Unpleasant odor inside the shoes
Allow the shoes to air out in a well-ventilated area after each wear. Use shoe deodorizers or place baking soda in socks inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure socks are worn with the shoes.
Laces frequently come untied
Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a 'surgeon's knot' or a 'double knot'. Replace old, worn laces with new ones if they are too slick or stretched.

Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the pristine look of your leather sneakers:
- Regular Cleaning:
- For light dust, wipe the leather upper with a soft, dry cloth.
- For dirt or scuffs, use a damp cloth with mild soap (specifically for leather, if available) and gently wipe.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the leather finish.
- Deep Cleaning: Periodically use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner to moisturize the leather and prevent cracking. Follow the product's instructions.
- Sole Care: Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. A soft brush can help with textured areas.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray before initial wear and periodically thereafter, especially if you anticipate exposure to light moisture.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Drying: If your sneakers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash leather sneakers.
