FAQs
How often should I clean my leather sneakers?
It's best to wipe them clean with a damp cloth as soon as they get dirty. For a more thorough cleaning and conditioning, aim for every few weeks or months depending on wear, or as needed.
Are these sneakers waterproof?
While leather offers some natural resistance to moisture, these sneakers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided. You can apply a water-resistant spray designed for leather to add a layer of protection.
Are these sneakers true to size?
Armani Exchange sneakers typically run true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size (UK 6 for this model). If you are often between sizes, consult a size chart or consider trying them on.
Can I use these sneakers for sports or running?
These sneakers are designed for fashion and casual wear, not for intense athletic activities, running, or sports. Their construction prioritizes style and everyday comfort over performance features required for physical exertion.
What is the best way to store these sneakers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creases. Keep them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag to protect them from dust.
How do I deal with creases in the leather?
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather and tends to develop with wear. Using shoe trees when not wearing them can help minimize deep creases. Regular conditioning also keeps the leather supple and less prone to harsh creasing.
Troubleshooting
Scuffs or minor marks on the leather.
For light scuffs, gently rub the area with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For deeper marks, a specialized leather cleaner or conditioner may be required. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Sneakers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations (1-2 hours) over several days to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot. Thicker socks can also help during this period.
Unpleasant odor develops inside the sneakers.
Ensure the sneakers are fully aired out after each wear. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use. Replace insoles if the odor persists, as they can harbor bacteria.
Laces constantly come undone.
Ensure you are using a double knot. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with new ones of good quality that have more friction.
Discoloration or fading of the leather.
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals can cause fading. Store sneakers away from direct light. For existing fading, a leather recoloring balm might help, but professional consultation is recommended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions
To ensure your 100% leather sneakers maintain their pristine condition and longevity, follow these care guidelines:
- Regular Cleaning: *Wipe clean with a damp cloth* immediately after exposure to dirt or stains. Use a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with plain water.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh soaps, detergents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the leather.
- Drying: If they get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Air dry them at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause cracking.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. Follow the product's instructions for application.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Keep them away from direct sunlight.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially before initial wear and after cleaning.
