FAQs
What makes these sneakers 'low top'?
The 'low top' designation refers to the shoe's cut, which sits below the ankle bone, offering greater freedom of movement and a classic sneaker silhouette.
How do I best care for the nubuck material?
Regularly brush the nubuck with a soft brush to remove dust. Use a nubuck eraser for minor marks and avoid saturating the material with water. Specialized nubuck cleaning sprays can offer protection.
Are these suitable for athletic activities?
While they offer comfort and flexibility due to the EVA midsole, they are designed primarily for fashion, everyday wear, and smart-casual occasions, not for high-impact sports.
What does the 'Essentials' collection signify?
The 'Essentials' collection by Emporio Armani represents a curated selection of evergreen, well-designed wardrobe staples with clean shapes, suitable for any season and offering lasting style.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear nubuck shoes in wet conditions as the material can stain and be damaged by excessive moisture. Consider waterproof sprays specifically designed for nubuck if you anticipate damp environments.
How do the oversized soles impact comfort?
The oversized soles are primarily a design element. The integrated ultra-lightweight EVA midsoles ensure that despite their volume, the shoes remain lightweight and provide excellent cushioning and flexibility.
Troubleshooting
Laces are difficult to adjust.
Ensure laces are not overly tight when trying to adjust. If laces are worn, consider replacing them with new ones.
Nubuck appears dull or has minor marks.
Use a dedicated nubuck brush to restore the texture and lift any dirt. For specific marks, use a nubuck eraser or consult specialized nubuck cleaning products.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
New soles can sometimes have a slicker feel. Wear them in drier conditions initially. Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris.
Shoes feel slightly stiff on first wear.
This is common with nubuck materials. Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to break them in gradually. The EVA midsole will also conform to your foot over time.

Care:
- Cleaning Nubuck: Use a soft brush or a specialized nubuck eraser to remove dry dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used sparingly, followed by air drying away from direct heat. Avoid excessive water.
- Sole Care: Clean the TPU and EVA soles with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be applied with a cloth, then wiped clean.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect the nubuck material and maintain their shape.
