FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

These trainers are designed for casual and smart-casual wear. While they offer comfort and flexibility, they are not intended for rigorous athletic activities, which require specialized sports footwear.

How do I know if the UK 8 size is right for me?

It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with Emporio Armani's official size chart, which is often available on their website or through reputable retailers. Trying them on in person, if possible, is the best way to ensure a correct fit.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the nubuck material can be treated with a protector spray to offer some resistance, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the nubuck.

What is the 'Essentials' collection?

The 'Essentials' collection by Emporio Armani is a curated selection of timeless wardrobe staples characterized by clean design and high-quality construction, intended to be versatile across seasons.

How should I clean the white EVA midsole?

The white EVA midsole can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser sponge may be used carefully, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Do these trainers have arch support?

These trainers feature lightweight EVA midsoles designed for comfort and flexibility. They provide cushioning but are not specifically engineered with enhanced arch support for orthopedic needs. For significant arch support requirements, consider using custom or over-the-counter insoles.

Troubleshooting

Tight fit or discomfort

Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not constricting fit. Consider wearing them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet.

Scuff marks on nubuck

Use a dedicated nubuck eraser or a soft brush to gently lift minor scuff marks. For deeper marks, consult specialized nubuck cleaning guides or products.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

The TPU sole offers grip, but extreme surfaces may reduce traction. Ensure the soles are clean and free of debris. Some wear might improve natural grip over time.

Discoloration of the nubuck

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Clean with appropriate nubuck cleaners and consider using a UV-protectant spray.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning Nubuck: Nubuck is a sensitive material. Use a specialized nubuck cleaning brush to remove dry dirt and debris. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by allowing the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Avoid using excessive water.
  • Suede Protector: Applying a suede or nubuck protector spray can help repel water and stains, extending the life and appearance of the shoes.
  • Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and sunlight.
  • Sole Care: Wipe the TPU and EVA soles with a damp cloth to clean them. Ensure they are dry before storing.
