Armani Exchange Sneakers - White, Black - 7 UK

Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized white leather cleaner or a mild solution of dish soap and water. Apply with a cloth, not directly, and wipe off residue immediately. Allow to air dry.

These sneakers are crafted with a sporty yet elegant design, making them ideal for spring and summer wear. While they can be worn in mild autumn weather, the leather material and plain design are not specifically designed for harsh winter conditions or heavy rain.

No, washing leather sneakers in a machine can cause damage, including shrinking, cracking, and discoloration. Always clean them by hand using appropriate leather care products.

Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather with wear. To minimize it, avoid overly tight lacing, use shoe trees when storing, and condition the leather regularly to keep it supple.

Leather typically molds to your foot over time. If you are between sizes, consider ordering the larger size for initial comfort, as it's easier to make a slightly larger shoe fit with an insole than to stretch a too-small one. Refer to standard UK sizing for consistency.

While the rubber sole is durable, extensive wear may require professional repair. A qualified cobbler can often re-sole or repair damaged sections, extending the life of your sneakers.

Apply a good quality leather conditioner. This will moisturize the leather, restoring its natural luster and preventing cracks.

For light scuffs, try gently rubbing with a soft cloth and a small amount of leather conditioner. For deeper marks, a specialized leather repair cream in a matching color may be needed.

The squeak often comes from friction between shoe parts. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or where the sole meets the upper to reduce friction.

Remove the insoles and allow them to air out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and let it sit overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out. Consider using shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees.

Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations initially. Thicker socks can help stretch the leather slightly. If consistently uncomfortable, ensure you have the correct size.
