FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

These trainers are designed for everyday wear and style. They do not provide the specialized support and cushioning required for running or high-impact athletic activities.

How do I break in these leather trainers?

Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. The vachetta leather is designed to mold to your foot for a comfortable fit over time.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While leather can be treated for water resistance, it is best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Always allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat if they become damp.

What is the 'Travel Essentials' collection?

The 'Travel Essentials' is a capsule collection by Emporio Armani featuring versatile and practical pieces designed for ease of wear and styling, particularly suitable for travel.

How often should I condition the leather?

Conditioning frequency depends on usage and climate. Generally, once every few months or when the leather appears dry is sufficient.

What size should I order if I'm between sizes?

Given that these are leather and designed to mold to the foot, if you are between sizes, consider the size that offers a snug but comfortable fit from the start, as they may stretch slightly.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and suppleness. Ensure they are not stored in excessively dry conditions.

Scuff marks on the leather

For minor scuffs, try a specialized leather eraser or a leather cleaning balm. For deeper marks, professional leather repair may be necessary.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the soles are clean and free from mud or debris. If the issue persists, consider a cobbler for sole treatments if grip is a significant concern.

Faint odor inside the shoe

Allow shoes to air out completely between wears. Use a shoe deodorizer or place baking soda inside overnight to absorb odors.
