FAQs

What type of leather are these trainers made from?

These trainers are made from premium vachetta leather, known for its natural finish and ability to develop a patina over time.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities?

These trainers are designed for casual everyday wear and city use. They are not intended for high-impact athletic activities.

How should I clean the Emporio Armani Travel Essentials trainers?

Clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.

What does the 'Travel Essentials' collection signify?

The Travel Essentials collection comprises practical and stylish items designed for individuals who travel frequently or appreciate versatile, easy-to-wear pieces for everyday life.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the leather can be treated for water resistance, it is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain to maintain the leather's condition and prevent water damage.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Refer to the size guide provided by the retailer and consider your usual fit in similar leather trainers. The product details indicate UK sizing.

Will the color of the trainers change over time?

Vachetta leather can develop a natural patina, which is a deepening or darkening of the color with age and exposure to light and oils. This is considered a desirable characteristic of this type of leather.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a leather conditioner to restore moisture and flexibility. Ensure you are storing the shoes properly away from heat sources.

Scuffs or minor scratches on the leather

For light scuffs, try buffing with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a leather repair balm or cream that matches the shoe color, following the product's instructions.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the soles are clean and free from mud or debris. If slipperiness persists on polished surfaces, consider a traction-enhancing spray or consulting a cobbler.

Laces are fraying

Replace the laces with a similar style and length. Ensure laces are tied securely but not overly tight to prevent unnecessary stress.
