FAQs
What is the primary material of the outer part of these trainers?
The outer material of these Armani Exchange Trainers is synthetic, providing durability and a sleek finish.
Is the inner lining made of leather?
Yes, the inner material of these trainers is genuine leather, offering comfort and breathability.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the synthetic and leather materials. Please refer to the 'Care' section for proper cleaning instructions.
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports activities?
These trainers are designed for casual and smart-casual wear, not for high-performance athletic activities like running or intensive sports.
How do I best clean the synthetic sole?
You can clean the synthetic sole using a brush to remove loose dirt, followed by a damp cloth with a mild soap solution for a deeper clean.
What UK size are these trainers?
This specific variant of Armani Exchange Trainers is a UK size 12.
Do these trainers provide good arch support?
While designed for comfort, specific arch support may vary by individual. If you require additional arch support, custom insoles can often be used.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs or marks on the synthetic upper.
Gently clean with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. For deeper scuffs, a specialized synthetic shoe cleaner may be needed. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Unpleasant odor from the interior.
Ensure trainers are fully aired out after each wear. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight (remove before wearing) to absorb moisture and neutralize odors.
Laces frequently come undone.
Ensure you are using a secure knotting technique, such as a double knot. Check if the laces are worn and consider replacing them if they are too smooth or frayed.
Slipping on wet or smooth surfaces.
Inspect the synthetic sole for wear. If the tread is significantly worn down, it may be time to consider replacement. Exercise caution on slippery surfaces regardless of sole condition.
Discomfort or rubbing inside the shoe.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, consider breaking in the trainers by wearing them for short periods initially. Check if the size is correct or if an orthotic insert might help.

Care
Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers, given their synthetic outer and leather inner.
- Cleaning the Synthetic Upper:
- For light dirt, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth.
- For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution (like diluted dish soap) and a soft brush or cloth, gently scrubbing the affected area.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the synthetic finish.
- Always allow to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Caring for the Leather Interior:
- Wipe the leather lining with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove any residue.
- Consider using a leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather soft and prevent cracking, especially if you wear them without socks.
- Sole Maintenance:
- Clean the synthetic sole with a brush to remove dirt and debris.
- For deep cleaning, a mild soap and water solution can be used.
- Odor Prevention:
- Allow trainers to air out after each wear.
- Consider using shoe trees or deodorizers to absorb moisture and maintain freshness.
- Storage:
- Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Using shoe bags can protect them from dust and scuffs.
Important: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your trainers, as this can severely damage the materials and construction.
